PFI 2 source to two PFI terminals.

You can enable a programmable debouncing filter on each PFI signal.
When the filters are enabled, your device samples the input on each rising
edge of a filter clock. USB-621x devices use an onboard oscillator to
generate the filter clock with a 40 MHz frequency.
The following is an example of low to high transitions of the input signal.
High to low transitions work similarly.
