The digital filter delays recognition of an input signal by how ever 
many clocks you configure it for.  Lacking the mythical 
anticipator-regretor circuit :-), the filters require the input to 
remain in its new state for the specified number of clocks before the 
state change is recognized.

In the original TPUs, there was some ambiguity in that a signal always 
took at least two but sometimes up to three clocks to be recognized. I 
don't know if that -0 +1 clock ambiguity persists in the TPU2 and TPU3 
engines.

So the signal recognition delay must be added to scheduler latency and 
longest function thread[s depending on how you set priorities] to 
calculate the maximum function latency.
