Optimal timer array

A radio frequency (RF) device, comprising:

• an RF circuit configured to process an RF signal;
• and
• a digital circuit configured to communicate with a master device separate from the RF device, the digital circuit comprising:
• a timer array configured to generate a plurality of timed triggers for synchronization of events between the master device and the RF circuit, the timer array comprising:
• a reference counter operating from a reference clock;
• a count translation logic block that is configured to translate a number of reference clock counts corresponding to each timed trigger of the plurality of timed triggers to a target offset value of the reference counter;
• and
• a target translation logic block that is configured to translate, for each time trigger of the plurality of timed triggers, a current value of the reference counter to an offset value based on a number of reference clock counts to the target offset value of the reference counter.

A method for generating a plurality of timed trigger events, the method comprising:

• providing a reference counter operating from a reference clock;
• translating a requested timed trigger event of the plurality of timed trigger events into a target offset value of the reference counter;
• translating a current value of the reference counter to an offset value based on a number of reference clock counts to the target offset value of the reference counter;
• and
• generating the requested timed trigger event when the offset value is equal to the target offset value.
