Operation Theory 49
General Purpose Timer/Counter
The PCI-69222/PCI-69223 comes with three general purpose
timer/counter sets featuring:

Count up/down controlled by hardware or software

Programmable counter clock source (internal clock up to
80 MHz, external clock up to 10 MHz)

Programmable gate selection (hardware or software control)

Programmable input and output signal polarities (high active
or low active)

Initial Count can be loaded from a software application

Current count value can be read-back by software without
affecting circuit operation.
Basic Timer/Counter Functions
Each timer/counter has three inputs that can be controlled via
hardware or software applications. They are clock input
(GPTC_CLK), gate input (GPTC_GATE), and up/down control
input (GPTC_UD). The GPTC_CLK input provides a clock source
input to the timer/counter. Active edges on the GPTC_CLK input
make the counter increment or decrement. The GPTC_UD input
