ABSTRACT:
A data processing system (10) capable of generating an output waveform (22) that has enhanced pulse width resolution. In one form, the system uses a counter (34) which is incremented by an input clock (20) running at an operating frequency of the system. Instead of incrementing the counter (34) by one, the counter (34) is incremented by a power of two so that the counter (34) appears to be counting a power of two faster. However, in order to increase the effective resolution of the counter (34), the second edge of the output waveform (22) must be correctly adjusted depending on the desired duty cycle and period. The end result is a counter (34) that can produce a power of two greater resolution while still using the operating frequency of the system as an input clock (20).
