Gate Pulse Width
Figure B-47 and Table B-31 show the timing requirements for Counter n
Gate. The requirements depend on the gating mode.
Figure B-47. Counter n Gate Pulse Width Timing Diagram
Gate to Source Setup and Hold
The counter can be modeled as a set of flip flops where the D input is Count
Enable and the clock input is Selected Source, as shown in Figure B-41.
This section shows the setup and hold requirements for two different cases:
• A PFI pin drives Counter n Source and a different PFI pin drives
Counter n Gate
• The general case (all other combinations of signals driving Source and
Gate)
Figure B-48 and Table B-32 show the setup and hold requirements at the
PFI pins for the first case (where a PFI pin drives Counter n Source and a
different PFI pin drives Counter n Gate).
