General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections and 
General-Purpose Counter Timing Signals
 
The general-purpose timing signals include the GATE, CLK, and OUT 
signals for the three MSM82C53 counters, except CLK of counter 0 is 
not available on the I/O connector. You can use the counter/timers for 
general-purpose applications such as pulse and square wave generation, 
event counting, and pulse-width, time-lapse, and frequency 
measurement. For these applications, user signals sent from the I/O 
connector on the CLK and GATE pins go to the counters, and the 
counters are user-programmable for various operations. The single 
exception is counter 0, which has an internal 1 MHz clock.
Chapter 3, 
 
Theory of Operation
 
, briefly describes the MSM82C53 
counter/timer. For detailed information on this counter/timer, see 
Appendix B, 
 
MSM82C53 Data Sheet
 
.
For pulse and square wave generation, program a counter to generate a 
timing signal at its OUT output pin.
For event counting, program a counter to count the rising or falling 
edges applied to any of the MSM82C53 CLK inputs. You can then read 
the counter value to determine the number of edges that have occurred. 
You can gate the counter operation on and off during event counting. 
Figure 4-5 shows connections for a typical event-counting operation 
where a switch is used to gate the counter on and off.
