A digital divider with both integral and fractional division capabilities is provided by utilization of a counter and one decoder to trigger phase reversal and a second decoder to trigger short-cycling of the counter. The first decoder provides phase reversal to cause extra half pulses during the period established by the second decoder to thus create the fractional count needed for fractional division. A control input is included to select either whole number division or fractional division.

Digital divider with integer and fractional division capability

The asynchronous integrated voice and data communication system includes a continuously variable slope delta encoder and a continuously variable slope delta decoder to convert voice signals to coded signals and vice versa. A packetizer and a depacketizer are employed with each data and voice user to enable each of the plurality of data and voice users to have random access to a fiber optic transmission medium enabling each of the plurality of data and voice users to receive transmissions from all others of the plurality of users. A microcomputer is coupled to each of the voice and data users and the associated packetizer and depacketizer to enable any one of the plurality of data and voice users to establish communication with any other selected one of the plurality of data and voice users.
