10-17
TIMER/COUNTER UNIT
Figure 10-17 shows suspending the counting sequence. A low level on GATEn causes the counter
to suspend counting (both the state of OUTn and the count remain unchanged). A high level on
GATEn resumes counting.
Figure 10-17. Mode 4 – Disabling the Count
Figure 10-18 shows writing a new count. On the CLKINn pulse following the new count write,
the counter loads the new count and counting continues from the new count.
