Systems often require timers ranging from hundreds of microseconds to several seconds and typically designed with multiple timing components and discrete logic to achieve this. TI Programmable Logic Devices (TPLD) can be configured to generate multiple timers and additional glue logic within a single device, vastly decreasing the overall design size, BOM, and time to market. This application note will discuss how to generate various timers and what is achievable with the oscillator and counters/delay generator macro-cells within the TPLD.
