In TIMA only, the phase load register TIMA.PL provides the capability for TIMA.CTR to count from a value other than zero or TIMA.LOAD in Up/Down counting mode. Phase load is used to generate asymmetric center-aligned PWM output signals with a controlled phase shift between different timer instances.
When TIMA.PL is nonzero, phase load is enabled by setting TIMA.CTRCTL.PLEN = 1 and triggered when TIMA.CTTRIG.TRIG = 1. When phase load is triggered while TIMA.CTRCTL.CVAE = 0, the timer counts from the TIMA.PL value in the down direction. When phase load is triggered while TIMA.CTRCTL.CVAE = 0, the TIMx counts from the TIMA.PL value in the up direction.
TIMA.PL is latched when the timer starts, and TIMA.PL is synchronized every time when the counter reaches the previously latched TIMA.PL value. Figure 15-11 shows how the phase load register works when the timer is counting in the up-down direction and the phase load value changes to a new value.
