PFI8/GPCTR0_SOURCE DGND Input
Output
PFI8/Counter 0 Source—As an input, this is a PFI. As
an output, this is the GPCTR0_SOURCE signal. This
signal reflects the actual source connected to the
general-purpose counter 0.
PFI9/GPCTR0_GATE DGND Input
Output
PFI9/Counter 0 Gate—As an input, this is a PFI. As an
output, this is the GPCTR0_GATE signal. This signal
reflects the actual gate signal connected to the
general-purpose counter 0.
GPCTR0_OUT DGND Output1Counter 0 Output—This output is from the
general-purpose counter 0 output.
FREQ_OUT DGND Output Frequency Output—This output is from the frequency
generator output.
1 The GPCTR0_OUT acts as an input when using external clock mode with correlated DIO.
