Abstract
An apparatus for generating control signals of a microprocessor includes a memory, for example, a pattern holding register storing an arbitrary bit pattern. The holding register can be loaded by software. A shift register is connected to receive the bit pattern from the pattern register. An output pin of the microprocessor receives each bit of the arbitrary bit pattern, directly, or indirectly via a bus interface unit, at a rate determined by a clock signal to generate control signals for arbitrary external devices.
