ATAR862-8
4589B–4BMCU–02/03
Combination Mode 10:
Frequency Measurement or
Event Counter with Time Gate Timer 2 mode 1/2: 12-bit compare counter/8-bit compare counter and
4-bit prescaler
Timer 2 output mode 1/6: Timer 2 compare match toggles (TOG2) to the Timer 3
Timer 3 mode 3: Timer/Counter; internal trigger restart and internal
capture (with Timer 2 TOG2-signal)
The counter is driven by an external (T3I) clock source. The output signal (TOG2) of
Timer 2 resets the counter. The counter value before reset is saved in the capture regis-
ter. If single-action mode is activated for one or both compare registers, the trigger
signal restarts also the single actions. This mode can be used for frequency measure-
ments or as event counter with time gate.

Combination Mode 11:
Burst Modulation 1 Timer 2 mode 1/2: 12-bit compare counter/8-bit compare counter and
4-bit prescaler
Timer 2 output mode 1/6: Timer 2 compare match toggles the output flip-flop (M2)
to the Timer 3
Timer 3 mode 6: Carrier frequency burst modulation controlled by Timer 2
output (M2)
The Timer 3 counter is driven by an internal or external clock source. Its compare and
compare mode registers must be programmed to generate the carrier frequency with
the output toggle flip-flop. The output toggle flip-flop (M2) of Timer 2 is used to enable
and disable the Timer 3 output. The Timer 2 can be driven by the toggle output signal of
Timer 3 (TOG3) or any other clock source.
