Abstract
A signal generator uses a shift register connected in a feedback loop with selectively operable gates between signal storage elements of the shift register. Non-overlapping clock signals are used to operate the gates to shift digital bits within the shift register and to concurrently operate gates connected to outputs of the shift register to define non-overlapping signal generator output signals.
Claims8
A signal generator comprising:
- a shift register having a plurality of serially connected signal storage elements and having a feedback loop for applying a register output signal to an input of said register, said register including a signal gate connected between each of said signal storage elements in the serial array,
- a first clock signal generating means,
- a second clock signal generating means, said first and second clock signals having a non-overlapping phase relationship,
- circuit means applying said first and second clock signals to respective ones of said signal gates connected between each of said signal storage elements in said register to alternately operate said register by said first and second clock signals, and
- output means connected to predetermined ones of said signal storage elements and to said first and second clock signals to produce an output signal from said predetermined ones of said signal storage elements in response to a concurrent presence of an output signal from a respective one of said signal storage elements and a respective one of said first and second clock signals.
