When combining the two Timer/Event Counter in the HT49R50A-1/HT49R70A-1 to form a 16-bit/24-bit counter, are there any special points to note?
Answer By connecting in series the two Timer/Event Counters in the HT49R50A-1/HT49C50-1/HT49C50L a 16-bit counter can be formed, while a series Timer/Event Counter combination in the HT49R70A-1/HT49C70-1/HT49C70L can form a 24-bit counter. To eliminate unexpected results, one point to note is that during initialisation, Timer/Event Counter 1 should be first enabled and then immediately disabled. After this the timers can be operated normally without error.
