General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections
The general-purpose timing signals are GPCTR0_SOURCE,
GPCTR0_GATE, GPCTR0_OUT, GPCTR0_UP_DOWN,
GPCTR1_SOURCE, GPCTR1_GATE, GPCTR1_OUT,
GPCTR1_UP_DOWN, and FREQ_OUT.
GPCTR0_SOURCE Signal
Any PFI pin can externally input the GPCTR0_SOURCE signal, which
is available as an output on the PFI8/GPCTR0_SOURCE pin.
As an input, the GPCTR0_SOURCE signal is configured in the
edge-detection mode. You can select any PFI pin as the source for
GPCTR0_SOURCE and configure the polarity selection for either
rising or falling edge.
As an output, the GPCTR0_SOURCE signal reflects the actual clock
connected to general-purpose counter 0. This is true even if another
PFI is externally inputting the source clock. This signal is set to input
(High-Z) at startup.
Figure 4-24 shows the timing requirements for the GPCTR0_SOURCE
signal.
The maximum allowed frequency is 20 MHz, with a minimum pulse
width of 23 ns high or low. There is no minimum frequency limitation.
