Timer Interface Module B (TIMB)
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the PWM pulse width on channel x:
• When changing to a shorter pulse width, enable channel x output compare interrupts and write the
new value in the output compare interrupt routine. The output compare interrupt occurs at the end
of the current pulse. The interrupt routine has until the end of the PWM period to write the new
value.
• When changing to a longer pulse width, enable TIMB overflow interrupts and write the new value
in the TIMB overflow interrupt routine. The TIMB overflow interrupt occurs at the end of the current
PWM period. Writing a larger value in an output compare interrupt routine (at the end of the current
pulse) could cause two output compares to occur in the same PWM period.
NOTE
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle on
output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0% duty
cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-correct in the
event of software error or noise. Toggling on output compare also can
cause incorrect PWM signal generation when changing the PWM pulse
width to a new, much larger value.
20.3.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose output appears on the
PTF4/TBCH0 pin. The TIMB channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the
output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIMB channel 0 status and control register (TBSC0) links channel 0 and channel
1. The TIMB channel 0 registers initially control the pulse width on the PTF4/TBCH0 pin. Writing to the
TIMB channel 1 registers enables the TIMB channel 1 registers to synchronously control the pulse width
at the beginning of the next PWM period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMB channel registers (0 or
1) that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TBSC0 controls and monitors the buffered PWM
function, and TIMB channel 1 status and control register (TBSC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set,
the channel 1 pin, PTF5/TBCH1, 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. User software should track the
currently active channel to prevent writing a new value to the active
channel. Writing to the active channel registers is the same as generating
unbuffered PWM signals.
