ABSTRACT:
A single digitally programmable divide by "N" counter controls a timing sequence composed of a plurality of timed intervals. Each interval in the sequence is independent of the other intervals even though the same programmable divide by N counter is used to control the length of each interval. The completely digital controller automatically reprograms itself in a predetermined manner for each interval in a sequence. A single clock circuit provides the interval lengths typically ranging from milliseconds to hundreds of hours for the controlled intervals. The output from the controller is a repetitive series of "1"s and "0"s of the adjustable timed durations.
