15.1 Enable Logic
The logic of the SIS3820 is disabled by default upon power up of the module (due to the
execution of a key reset). In a standard counter application a key enable command is all that is
required to enable the logic, in MCS or preset mode other signals like arm and LNE are
contributing as shown in the enable logic schematic below.
The enable logic should not be mixed with the counter enable/disable for the individual
channels.
