Hardware Considerations

On a Smart Transceiver, a timer/counter can be configured to control the delay of
an output signal with respect to a synchronization input. This synchronization

can occur on the rising edge, the falling edge, or both the rising and falling edges

of the input signal. For control of AC circuits using a triac device, the sync input
is typically a zero-crossing signal, and the pulse output is the triac trigger signal.
