I thought the correct term was `isochronous'...
Perhaps someone can clarify - however isochornus is definitely wrong either

"Isochronous" is correct; it is a synonym for "isochronal", which means "uniform in time; of equal duration". That is, I believe, apropos to the intended meaning of the comment above.
"Isosynchronous" does not appear in any of my dictionaries.
Exactly. The valid word is 'isochronous', which characterizes timeslices of equal length.
It is different from 'synchronous', which is thhings that happen at the same time, i.e. in parallel. In some extent, this word is used to mean things that will also end at the same time.
