Timer Interface A (TIMA) Module
17.4 Interrupts
These TIMA sources can generate interrupt requests:
• TIMA overflow flag (TOF) — The TOF bit is set when the TIM counter reaches the modulo value
programmed in the TIMA counter modulo registers. The TIMA overflow interrupt enable bit, TOIE,
enables TIMA overflow CPU interrupt requests. TOF and TOIE are in the TIMA status and control
register.
• TIMA channel flags (CH1F–CH0F) — The CHxF bit is set when an input capture or output compare
occurs on channel x. Channel x TIMA CPU interrupt requests are controlled by the channel x
interrupt enable bit, CHxIE.
17.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the microcontroller unit (MCU) in low power-consumption standby
modes.
17.5.1 Wait Mode
The TIMA remains active after the execution of a WAIT instruction. In wait mode, the TIMA registers are
not accessible by the CPU. Any enabled CPU interrupt request from the TIMA can bring the MCU out of
wait mode.
If TIMA functions are not required during wait mode, reduce power consumption by stopping the TIMA
before executing the WAIT instruction.
17.5.2 Stop Mode
The TIMA is inactive after the execution of a STOP instruction. The STOP instruction does not affect
register conditions or the state of the TIMA counter. TIMA operation resumes when the MCU exits stop
mode.
17.6 TIMA During Break Interrupts
A break interrupt stops the TIMA counter and inhibits input captures.
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR) enables software to clear
status bits during the break state.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to the BCFE bit. If a status bit is
cleared during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to the BCFE bit. With BCFE at 0 (its default state),
software can read and write I/O registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status
bits have a 2-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is at 0. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
