Abstract:
1. A method of generating a multiple of a unit U, N times U, by a digital circuit, where U is a rational number and N is a natural number, comprising the steps of: providing at least one memory device, a first circuit, and a second circuit; storing values A, B and C in the memory device, where A, B and C are natural numbers, A>1, B>C and U=A+C/B; generating a multiple of C, N times C by the first circuit; comparing the value B with the multiple of C by the first circuit; generating a multiple of A, N times A by the second circuit; modifying, by the second circuit, the multiple of A according to the output of the first circuit; and outputting the modified multiple of A as the multiple of U from the second circuit.
