Figure 3.47 Quadrature Input Latency Values
A call to this function returns the current value of the quadrature count because the last read operation. The counter is
then reset and ready for the next series of input transitions. The count returned is a 16-bit signed binary number, capped
at ±16K.
The number shown in the diagram above is the minimum time allowed between consecutive transitions at either input of
the quadrature function block. For more information, see the, Neuron Chip Quadrature Input Function Interface
engineering bulletin.
