Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for configuring and generating a sequence of discrete output signal values. A microcontroller writes output signal values to memory and provides address and timing information to a streaming output peripheral. The streaming output peripheral uses the address and timing information to read output signals values from memory and provide the output signal values in a clock cycle accurate manner.
