PRODUCTION DATA
There is one 24 bit counter PWM timer which runs off the Interface Clock and can further be divided down by an 8-bit pre-scalar to generate a slower PWM time period. The timer has two compare registers (Data Registers) for generating the PWM set/unset events. Additionally, the timer has a shadow register (Data Buffer register) which can be used to store CPU updates of the compare events while still using the timer. The selected shadow register update mode happens after the compare event matches.
The two capture pins TCMP0 and TCMP1 are inputs for recording a capture event. A capture event can be set either to rising, falling, or both edges of the capture pin. Upon this event, the counter value is stored in the corresponding capture data register.
The counter reset can be configured to happen on a counter roll over, a compare equal event, or by software controlled register. Five Interrupts from the PWM timer can be set, which are the counter rollover event (overflow), either capture event 0 or 1, or the two comparison match events. Each interrupt can be disabled or enabled.
Upon an event comparison on only the second event, the TCMP pin can be configured to set, clear, toggle or have no action at the output. The value of PWM pin output can be read for status or simply configured as general purpose I/O for reading the value of the input at the pin. The first compare event can only be used as an interrupt.
