PATTERN GENERATOR AND BUILT-IN-SELF TEST DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943551 titled 'PATTERN GENERATOR AND BUILT-IN-SELF TEST DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus that generates an output signal with a repeated waveform. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• The apparatus includes a storage component that stores values corresponding to the waveform in a portion of the output signal's period.
• A counter generates an index of a sample in the output signal.
• A controller generates control signals based on the index and the period of the output signal.
• A calculation circuit uses the control signals to calculate the output signal by retrieving values from the storage.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Signal generation in electronic devices
• Audio synthesis and music production
• Test and measurement equipment

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient generation of repetitive waveforms
• Accurate control of the output signal's period and samples
• Simplified implementation of waveform generation

Benefits of this technology:

• Precise and consistent waveform generation
• Flexibility in controlling the output signal's characteristics
• Reduced complexity and cost in implementing waveform generation

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus for generating an output signal having a waveform that is repeated every period, includes a storage configured to store values corresponding to the waveform in a portion of a period of the output signal, a counter configured to generate a first index of a sample included in the output signal, a controller configured to generate at least one control signal based on the first index and the period of the output signal, and a calculation circuit configured to generate the output signal by calculating an output from the storage based on the at least one control signal.
