Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing the same are provided for digitally synchronizing the timing of a sequence of electrical output pulses in accordance with a selectable, permissably non-linear function of the timing of a sequence of electrical input pulses. The method and apparatus are illustrated with reference to application thereof to overcoming the problem of degradation of synchronization caused by so-called "peak shift" due to the adjacent data effect in the reading of binary data stored on magnetic disks or the like. Pulses of a timing reference signal having a uniform interval equal to a sub-multiple of the normal average interval of the desired output pulses are continuously counted to a number base equal to the denominator of said sub-multiple, and output pulses are produced whenever a pre-selected count value occurs. Output pulse timing correction values in accordance with the synchronizing function selected are stored in memory.
