The patent US12028069B2 outlines a method and apparatus for generating a series of electrical pulses based on specific input signals and timing mechanisms. The method begins with receiving a first pulse characterized by a constant voltage for a defined duration. It involves generating a second pulse by combining the rising edge of the first pulse with a first indication, which can be a bit or a sequence of bits. The falling edge of the second pulse is created using a predetermined delay based on the falling edge of the first pulse. The second pulse maintains a constant voltage for a duration determined by a latch and the predetermined delay. Additionally, the method includes generating a third pulse based on the falling edge of the second pulse, utilizing integrator circuits to determine the timing of the rising and falling edges of this third pulse.

The apparatus described in the patent consists of circuitry designed to implement the aforementioned method. It includes components such as gates, time delays, and latches that work together to produce outputs based on the first pulse and the first bit. The first circuitry generates a third output based on the first output and the second output, while the second circuitry further processes these outputs to create a fourth output. The apparatus also features operational integrators that facilitate the generation of outputs based on the integration of the pulses, along with comparators that determine the intersection of integration peaks to produce additional outputs. This structured approach allows for precise control over the timing and characteristics of the generated pulses, which can be critical in various electronic applications.
