The I/O synchronization feature enables the synchronization of the outputs with each other or with the external signals via I/O lines.
Working Principle
The 8N4QV01KG-0137CDI8 Programmable Timers and Oscillators are based on an oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit consists of an inverting amplifier and a network of resistors and capacitors. The amplifier\'s output is fed back to its input through the network of resistors and capacitors. This creates a positive feedback loop, which results in sustained oscillations.
The frequency of these oscillations is determined by the values of the resistors and capacitors used in the circuit. A digital-to-analog converter controls the oscillator\'s frequency. It outputs a voltage that is adjusted to the desired frequency by varying the resistors\' and capacitors\' values. The oscillator\'s output is fed to a circuit that produces a digital output signal.
