Simple Type Overview

Overview

The Simple type is a single input counter.

A Simple type HSC can count-up/count-down to/from a predefined value.

You can program the actions when the count is reached. These actions are done in the context of the programmed task.

Simple Type Modes

The Simple type supports 2 configurable counting modes, only on single-phase pulses:

One-shot: In this mode, the counter current value register decrements (from a user-defined value) for each pulse applied to A input, until the counter reaches 0.

Modulo-loop: In this mode, the counter repeatedly counts from 0 to a user-defined modulo value then returns to 0 and restarts counting.

Performance

The maximum frequency for the Simple type is 100 kHz.

NOTE:

The maximum counting frequency depends on the filter setting:

o4 µs filter: 100 kHz

o40 µs filter: 14.5 kHz
