3.7 Timers

An undocumented feature on the F13x/F14x allows the Timer_A and Timer_B modules to be used in capture mode to generate interrupts on input signal transitions with the timer in stop mode (MCx in TACTL/TBCTL is set to 00h). This feature is no longer available on F23x/F24x MCUs. To generate capture interrupts, the respective F23x/F24x timer must be running. In this specific use case, consider clocking the timer using a low frequency (for example, ACLK) to minimize power consumption.
