The QEI as a Timer/Counter
These are the main topics we will address during this seminar.
First of all, we will see the purpose of the QEI module is. Then we will go
through all the main functional blocks, the digital noise filters, the decoder, and
the position counter. Finally we will see that this peripheral, if not used as an
encoder, can behave as an up/down counter/timer.
