COUNTER/TIMER
CIRCUIT
The
counter/timer
circuit
is
contained
on
the
DUART
device.
As
its
name
implies,
it
may
be
used
as
a
timer
(programmable
divi-
der)
or
a
counter,
providing
an
appropriate
indication
when
the
specified
countdown
value
has
reached
zero.
It
should
be
noted
that
unlike
the
280
eTC,
the
DUART's
counter/-
timer
uses
a
15-bit
countdown
register,
providing
much
greater
£lexibility
in
its
application.
Appendix
H
contains
the
data
sheet
£or
the
Signetics
2681
device.
