Abstract
One-bit stream of clocked control information is applied to the input of delay means, having a succession of signal takeoff points, with the delay between successive takeoff points being the same (e.g., twice a period at the clocking frequency, f.sub.CL). Each takeoff point is linked to a respectively different input of an 'and' gate. The 'and' gate output is coupled to one input of a succession of two-input 'or' gates, with the other input of each of said 'or' gates coupled to the output of an associated one of a plurality of delay devices, each of the latter imparting the same delay (e.g., corresponding to a period of f.sub.CL). The output of the last of the succession of 'or' gates is coupled to a control signal output terminal. The output of each of the remainder of the succession is coupled to the other input of the next succeeding 'or' gate in the succession. The input of the delay device associated with the first 'or' gate of the succession is coupled to receive the output of an additional two-input 'or' gate. One input of the additional 'or' gate is responsive to the output of the 'and' gate, while the other input thereof is not signal-responsive, being maintained at a '0' level.
