6.11.3 Types of Trigger
There are 3 types of trigger:
Edge trigger
When the user input changes from one state to the other, the Alpha FXM is triggered to perform Action #1. If the
level is set to High, the action will be triggered by a Low to High edge (leading edge). If the level is set to Low, the
action will be triggered by the High to Low edge (falling edge).
Figure 50 — Edge Trigger
Level Toggle
When the Level is set to High, the Alpha FXM is triggered to perform the other action when the user input chang-
es from Low to High. If the input then changes from High to Low, Action #2 will be triggered. In other words, a
level change in the user input will trigger an action toggle between Action #1 and #2.
