Wait-Counter
Circuit Description
A six bit synchronous counter
connected to the 'WaitIntervals' subdesign.
This counter is used by the 'DecoderFSM' state-machine to
calculate the delay between the DCF-77 signal pulses.
It is clocked with the 20 Hz clock signal,
and reset whenever the decoder state-machine detects a new pulse.
The three output signals generate by this subdesign correspond
to 'one second' interval between pulses,
'two seconds' interval between pulses,
and 'timeout' or 'missing signal'.
