Timer Interface Module A (TIMA)
11.4.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTE1/TCH0A pin. The TIMA channel registers of
the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIMA channel 0 status and control register
(TASC0) links channel 0 and channel 1. The TIMA channel 0 registers
initially control the pulse width on the PTE1/TCH0A pin. Writing to the
TIMA channel 1 registers enables the TIMA channel 1 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMA channel registers (0 or
1) that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TASC0
controls and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIMA channel 1
status and control register (TASC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set,
the channel 1 pin, PTE2/TCH1A, is available as a general-purpose
I/O pin.
NOTE:
In buffered PWM signal generation, do not write new pulse width values
to the currently active channel registers. Writing to the active channel
registers is the same as generating unbuffered PWM signals.
11.4.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered
PWM signals, use the following initialization procedure:
1. In the TIMA status and control register (TASC):
a. Stop the TIMA counter by setting the TIMA stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the TIMA counter by setting the TIMA reset bit, TRST.
2. In the TIMA counter modulo registers (TAMODH:TAMODL), write
the value for the required PWM period.
3. In the TIMA channel x registers (TACHxH:TACHxL), write the
value for the required pulse width.
