ABSTRACT:
A sequence-controlled digital circuit (21) is presented. The circuit (21) includes a divider (55) and a plurality of transparent latches (51-54) which together form a latch-based sequencer (42). Typically, a clock signal (43) is divided by the divider (55) into an inverted half-clock signal (45) and a non-inverted half-clock signal (44), each enabling alternate latches (51-54) arranged in a cascade. In the cascade, an output of each latch (51-54) drives an input of the following latch (51-54), one such being an inverting output and the rest non-inverting outputs, to form a twisted-loop counter (50). Each output of each latch (51-54) drives a clock input of a flip-flop (61-68), with a serial input signal (46) driving all data inputs, to form a temporal-to-spacial converter (40). Only the divider (55) operates at the rate of the clock signal (43).
