I guess, these 2 IO's mostly used in switching circuits. So, can't we return error, if period of IO_A != IO_B?
Then the user know the mistake and he will configure with proper values??

For eg:

Case 1:
IO_A= 5msec, IO_B=5nsec

Here IO_B has faster switching(MHz) compared to IO_A (kHZ),
So, by allowing IO_A to operate at IO_B frequency, we are doing
Some incorrect operation for IO_A.

Case 2:
IO_A= 5nsec, IO_B=5msec

Here we are returning error, that is ok.


Cheers,
Biju
