Figure 11: Cascading Counters (Shown for Rate Generation Using
Counters 0 and 2 and External Gate 0)
Figure 12 shows an example of how to externally cascade two
counters to perform a one-shot operation using user counters 0 and 2.
Note that you can also internally cascade counters using software; if
you internally cascade the counters, you do not have to make the
external cascading connections. In this example, counter 0 gate is
logic high.
