GPCTR1_SOURCE Signal
Any PFI pin can externally input the GPCTR1_SOURCE signal, which is
available as an output on the PFI3/GPCTR1_SOURCE pin.
As an input, the GPCTR1_SOURCE signal is configured in the
edge-detection mode. You can select any PFI pin as the source for
GPCTR1_SOURCE and configure the polarity selection for either rising or
falling edge.
As an output, the GPCTR1_SOURCE monitors the actual clock connected
to general-purpose counter 1. This is true even if the source clock is being
externally generated by another PFI. This output is set to tri-state at startup.
Figure 4-32 shows the timing requirements for the GPCTR1_SOURCE
signal.

GPCTR1_SOURCE Signal Timing
The maximum allowed frequency is 20 MHz, with a minimum pulse width
of 23 ns high or low. There is no minimum frequency limitation.
The 20 MHz or 100 kHz timebase normally generates the
GPCTR1_SOURCE unless you select some external source.
