Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCI-6602 combines counter/timer functions and digital I/O on a computer-based PCI device. Its supported operations include frequency, period, and pulse-width measurement, together with pulse and pulse-train generation.

Digital I/O transfers are static and do not use handshaking. The maximum source-frequency rating increases from 80 MHz to 125 MHz when prescaling is used.

  • Eight counter/timers with 32-bit resolution.
  • Digital debouncing filters for input signals.
  • Three simultaneous high-speed DMA transfers.
  • Selectable 100 kHz, 20 MHz, and 80 MHz base clocks.
