Method and circuit configuration for determining position minus time

A circuit configuration for a data processing system for predicting a coordinate for at least one operation to be carried out, wherein the prediction is dependent on at least one input signal, a predefined first time value and at least one predefined first physical value which represents another physical variable, comprising:

• means for performing, upon each change of the at least one input signal, the following:
• calculating a second time value from the predefined first time value with the aid of at least one of an instantaneous time and another state parameter;
• at least one of (i) subtracting the predefined first time value from the second time value to form a third time value, and (ii) calculating a second physical value from the first time value;
• and
• subtracting the first physical value from the second time value to form a third physical value, in order to determine, from at least one of the third time value and the third physical value, a state in which the at least one operation is to be triggered.
