IMPORTANT
The input configuration is limited by the operating
mode. In mode 1, Counters 1 and 2 can be assigned
any input configuration. In mode 2, Counter 1 can
be assigned any configuration, but Counters 2 and 3
are configured as pulse/internal direction. In mode
3, all counters have the pulse/internal direction
configuration. See the Summary of Available Counter
Configurations on page 2-8.

All Other Configurations
1 MHz
IMPORTANT
The minimum high and low times for the pulse train
are 475 ns. Therefore, the input pulse train must fall
between a 47.5 to 52.5 percent duty cycle at 1 MHz.
