Patent ID: 7974068

Claim:
A pseudoperiodic logic signal generator of mean period T mean comprising: a reference clock configured to produce a reference signal of period T ref′ , logic memory means providing as an output a stored logic state and controllable to change state on receiving a pulse; first production means configured to produce, from the reference signal, a nominal pulse at an end of a basic time interval T sec =KXT ref , with K an integer; second production means configured to produce, from the reference signal, an offset pulse at an end of a modified time interval T′ sec =(K±1)XT ref′ , and selector means capable for selecting, between the first production means and the second production means, the means that produces the pulse controlling the logic memory means, in such a way as regularly to include an offset pulse for correcting the mean period so T mean = 2 ⁢ ∑ N ⁢ T sec N = 2 ⁢ ( K ± L ) × T ref , as to generate a pseudoperiodic signal of mean period with K an integer and L a real correction factor between 0 and 1.
