Figure 2-14. Waveform Generation Timing with the EXTUPDATE* Signal
Since a rising edge on the EXTUPDATE* signal always sets the TMRINTUP bit in the Interrupt
Status Register, the EXTUPDATE* signal can also be used for periodic interrupt generation
timed by an external source. The TMRINTUP bit is cleared by writing to either of the two
DACs or to the TMRINTCL bit location. Figure 2-15 illustrates a timing sequence where
EXTUPDATE* is being used to generate a NuBus interrupt.
