Abstract
The invention relates to a control unit for a terminal of a digital, cordless telecommunication system, and to a method for such a control unit. In order to realize a flexible and energy-saving construction for such a control unit, according to the invention it is provided with a control signal register array ( ) which can be loaded with events that are composed of control signals by a microcontroller ( ), with a timer ( ) for providing a clock corresponding to a time, with an instant register array ( ) which can be loaded with different instants by the microcontroller ( ), one instant thereof being presented each time as the current instant, with a comparator ( ) for comparing the time presented by the timer ( ) with the current instant supplied by the instant register array ( ), and with an output register ( ) which is controlled by the comparator ( ), is connected to control leads, in which the current event can be written upon correspondence, detected by the comparator ( ), between the time presented by the timer ( and the current instant, and is arranged to output the control signals contained via the control leads.
