A.1 The Intel 82C54

The PCI-1710/1710HG uses one Intel 82C54 compatible programma- ble interval timer/counter chip. The popular 82C54 offers three independent 16-bit counters, counter 0, counter 1 and counter 2. Each counter has a clock input, control gate and an output. You can program each counter for maximum count values from 2 to 65535.

The 82C54 has a maximum input clock frequency of 1 MHz. The PCI-1710/1710HG provides 1 MHz input frequencies to the counter chip from an on-board crystal oscillator.

Counter 0

On the PCI-1710/1710HG, counter 0 can be a 16-bit timer or an event counter, selectable by users. When the clock source is set as an internal source, counter 0 is a 16-bit timer; when set as an external source, then counter 0 is an event counter and the clock source comes from CNT0_CLK. The counter is controlled by CNT0_GATE. When CNT0_GATE input is high, counter 0 will begin to count.

Counter 1 & 2

Counter 1 and counter 2 of the counter chip are cascaded to create a 32-bit timer for the pacer trigger. A low-to-high edge of counter 2 output (PACER_OUT) will trigger an A/D conversion. At the same time, you can use this signal as a synchronous signal for other applications.
