Counters
Refer to CTS9513-2 data sheet for complete 9513 specifications and operating modes. The SAVE command for
the CTS9513 device does not behave predictably when using clocks which are not synchronous with the logic
timing. If the SAVE command must be used, we strongly recommend that the 3.3 MHz clock derived from the
33 MHz PCI clock be selected as the clock source. The CTS9513-2 data sheet is available on our web site at
