PRODUCTION DATA
There are four 16 bit counter PWM timers which run off the Interface Clock and can further be divided down by a 8-bit pre-scaler to generate slower PWM time periods. Each timer has two compare registers (Data Registers) for generating the PWM set/unset events. Additionally, each timer has a shadow register (Data Buffer register) which can be used to store CPU updates of compare events while still using the timer. The selected shadow register update mode happens after the compare event matches.
The counter reset can be configured to happen on a counter roll over, a compare equal event, or by a software controlled register. Interrupts from the PWM timer can be set due to the counter rollover event (overflow) or by the two comparison match events. Each comparison match and the overflow interrupts can be disabled or enabled.
Upon an event comparison, the PWM 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.
