ABSTRACT:
A free loop oscillator system including a set of successive delay elements connected in series forming a free running loop oscillator, a set of taps disposed between the delay elements, a circuit for determining the speed of the free-running loop oscillator, and circuit for choosing a given tap in response to the speed of the free-running loop oscillator. Such a system may be implemented as a part of interval timer, a printer controller, a frequency synthesizer, an FM modulator, a digital-to-analog converter, or any other device which requires the availability of finely addressable signals since the taps disposed between the delay elements present signals much finer than any presently available clock.
