4.4 CNTR Function
This section explains the MP940 counter function (CNTR).
4.4.1 Overview
The MP940’s counter function supports one pulse input (PI). Pulses can be received with a
5-V differential interface.
The MP940 has a latch input signal, enabling counter values to be latched on the latch sig-
nal. It also has a coincidence detection signal output, so the CPU and external devices are
notified when an internally set value matches the counter’s current count.
Counted data is input in a regular cycle with each CPU scan (system, high-speed, or low-
speed).
