Abstract
A timer system comprises multiple channels, each of which is capable of performing input and output timer functions referenced to any of a plurality of timer reference signals. In the preferred embodiment, sixteen independent channels are serviced by a processor dedicated to that purpose and each can perform capture and match functions referenced to either of two free-running counters.
