D.5 Mode D Waveforms
Rate Generator with No Hardware Gating
Mode D is typically used in frequency generation applications. In this
mode, the gate input does not affect counter operation. Once armed, the
counter will count to TC repetitively. On each TC the counter will reload
itself from the Load register; hence the Load register value determines the
time between TCs. A square wave rate generator may be obtained by
specifying the TC Toggled output mode in the Counter Mode register.
