Figure 3-13. EXTUPDATE* Signal Timing for Updating DAC Output
Since a rising edge on the EXTUPDATE* signal always sets the CNTINT bit in the Status
Register, the EXTUPDATE* signal can also be used for periodic interrupt generation timed by
an external source. The CNTINT bit is cleared by writing to the Timer Interrupt Clear Register.
Figure 3-14 illustrates a timing sequence where EXTUPDATE* is being used to generate an
interrupt.

General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections and General-Purpose Counter/Timing Signals
The general-purpose timing signals include the GATE, CLK, and OUT signals for the three
8253(B) counters. The 8253 Counter/Timers can be used for general-purpose applications such
as pulse and square wave generation; event counting; and pulse-width, time-lapse, and frequency
