Control unit for a terminal of a digital cordless telecommunication system, and method for such a control unit

A method for a control unit (10) for a terminal of a cordless telecommunication system for delivering control signals to further units of the terminal, the control unit (10) including a control signal register array (40, 50, 60) which is connected to an output register (44, 54, 64) as well as a comparator which is connected to a timer (43, 53, 63) and an instant register array (41, 51, 61) with controlling access to the output register (44, 54, 64), which method includes the following steps:

• a) writing different events, comprising control signals, into the control signal register array (40, 50, 60) by means of a microcontroller (3),
• b) writing instants associated with a respective event into the instant register array by means of the microcontroller (3),
• c) determining the current event and the current instant associated with the current event,
• d) applying the current instant to the comparator (42, 52, 62),
• e) continuously checking in the comparator (42, 52, 62) whether the current instant corresponds to a time value of the timer (43, 53, 63) that is continuously applied to the comparator (42, 52, 62), and
• f) loading, in the case of correspondence, the current event into the output register (44, 54, 64) and outputting the control signals contained therein from the output register (44, 54, 64) via connected control leads.
