24.1 Module Introduction
The Peripheral Trigger Generator (PTG) provides a
means to schedule complex high-speed peripheral
operations that would be difficult to achieve using soft-
ware. The PTG module uses 8-bit commands called
“steps” that the user writes to the PTG Queue register
(PTGQUE0-PTQUE7), which performs operations
such as wait for input signal, generate output trigger,
and wait for timer.
The PTG module has the following major features:
• Multiple clock sources
• Two 16-bit general purpose timers
• Two 16-bit general limit counters
• Configurable for rising or falling edge triggering
• Generates processor interrupts to include:
- Four configurable processor interrupts
- Interrupt on a step event in Single-Step mode
- Interrupt on a PTG Watchdog Timer time-out
• Able to receive trigger signals from these
peripherals:
- ADC
- PWM
- Output Compare
- Input Capture
- Op amp/Comparator
- INT2
• Able to trigger or synchronize to these
peripherals:
- Watchdog Timer
- Output Compare
- Input Capture
- ADC
- PWM
- Op amp/Comparator
