Abstract
A tone generator for producing a plurality of output tone waveforms for a plurality of frequencies, includes an encoder for selectively generating a first waveform that has a first number of states and second waveform that has a second number of states which are less than the first number of states. A control circuit is connected to the encoder and selects the second waveform for higher frequency output tones and the first waveform for lower frequency output tones. The control circuit provides a control clock signal to the encoder for determining the frequency of the output tones. A low pass filter is connected to the encoder for filtering the output tones. The encoder includes a plurality of flip flips having outputs connected to a summer by gates that are actuated by the control circuit.
