Abstract
A variable timing sequencer for producing sets of data which correspond to different current states of the sequencer, wherein the interval of each such set of data corresponds to said current state and user input, and said current state is determined by a previous state and input data. This separation of the time domain sequencing from the functional sequencing allows operation of functional components at lower frequencies than the timing components and the increase of effective memory density. The ability to affect both current state and interval by means of an input permits the sequencer to be used in a variety of conditions and applications with a minimum amount of reprogramming.
