Timer Interface (TIM)
Functional Description
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.
16.4.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTE2/TCH0 pin. The TIM channel registers of the
linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIM channel 0 status and control register (TSC0)
links channel 0 and channel 1. The TIM channel 0 registers initially
control the pulse width on the PTE2/TCH0 pin. Writing to the TIM
channel 1 registers enables the TIM channel 1 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIM channel registers (0 or 1)
that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TSC0 controls
and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIM channel 1 status and
control register (TSC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set, the channel
1 pin, PTE3/TCH1, is available as a general-purpose I/O pin.
Channels 2 and 3 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTF0/TCH2 pin. The TIM channel registers of the
linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS2B bit in TIM channel 2 status and control register (TSC2)
links channel 2 and channel 3. The TIM channel 2 registers initially
control the pulse width on the PTF0/TCH2 pin. Writing to the TIM
channel 3 registers enables the TIM channel 3 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIM channel registers (2 or 3)
that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TSC2 controls
and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIM channel 3 status and
