Duplicate Count Prevention
Duplicate count prevention (or synchronous counting mode) ensures that a
counter returns correct data in applications that are a slow or non-periodic
external source. Duplicate count prevention applies only to buffered
counter applications such as measuring frequency or period.
For such buffered applications, the counter should store the number of
times an external source pulses between rising edges on the Gate signal.
