Abstract
A pulse generator includes circuitry for starting a pulse in response to receipt of a pulse enable signal. The pulse enable signal is synchronous with a first time base. The pulse generator includes circuitry for ending the pulse after a predetermined, user selectable, number of clock cycles. The clock cycles have a second time base that is asynchronous with the first time base. Since the end pulse signal is not on the same time base as the pulse enable signal, there is up to one asynchronous clock cycle period random variation in width of pulses having the same nominal width.
