Timer Interface B (TIMB)
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.
12.4.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered
PWM signals, use this initialization procedure:
1. In the TIMB status and control register (TBSC):
a. Stop the TIMB counter by setting the TIMB stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the TIMB counter and prescaler by setting the TIMB
reset bit, TRST.
2. In the TIMB counter modulo registers (TBMODH–TBMODL), write
the value for the required PWM period.
3. In the TIMB channel x registers (TBCHxH–TBCHxL), write the
value for the required pulse width.
4. In TIMB channel x status and control register (TBSCx):
a. Write 0:1 (for unbuffered output compare or PWM signals) or
1:0 (for buffered output compare or PWM signals) to the mode
select bits, MSxB–MSxA. See Table 12-2.
b. Write 1 to the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx.
c. Write 1:0 (to clear output on compare) or 1:1 (to set output on
compare) to the edge/level select bits, ELSxB–ELSxA. The
output action on compare must force the output to the
complement of the pulse width level. See Table 12-2.
NOTE:
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle
on output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable
0 percent 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 can also cause incorrect PWM signal generation when
changing the PWM pulse width to a new, much larger value.
5. In the TIMB status control register (TBSC), clear the TIMB stop bit,
TSTOP.
