  • Patent number: 4032755
    Abstract: A process control apparatus, for example for internal combustion engine fuel injection control, includes a digital memory which produces an n-bit digital output in accordance with two independently variable input signals. The m most significant bits are transferred to a counter which is clocked to give a pulse length output. The n-m least significant bits control a logic circuit which is used to program another counter which is used to introduce an added delay to each output pulse. This arrangement enables higher resolution to be obtained using a limited size main counter.
