Figure 7-2. Am9513 Counter Timing and Output Types
Figure 7-2 represents a counter generating a delayed pulse and
demonstrates the four forms the output pulse can take given the four
different types of output signals supported. The TC toggled positive logic
output looks like what would be expected when generating a pulse. For
most of the Counter/Timer functions, TC toggled output is the preferred
output configuration; however, the other signal types are also available. The
starting signal shown in Figure 7-2 represents either a software starting of
the counter, for the No-Gating mode, or some sort of signal at the GATE
input. The signal could be either a rising edge gate or a high-level gate. If
the signal is a low-level or falling edge gate, the starting signal simply
appears inverted. In Figure 7-2, the counter is configured to count the rising
edges of the timebase; therefore, the starting signal takes effect on the rising
edge of the timebase, and the signal output changes state with respect to the
rising edge of the timebase.
