Functional Description
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.
18.4.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose output
appears on the 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 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, TCH1, 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.
18.4.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered PWM signals,
use the following initialization procedure:
1. In the TIM status and control register (TSC):
a. Stop the TIM counter by setting the TIM stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the TIM counter and prescaler by setting the TIM reset bit,
TRST.
2. In the TIM counter modulo registers (TMODH:TMODL), write the value for
the required PWM period.
3. In the TIM channel x registers (TCHxH:TCHxL), write the value for the
required pulse width.
4. In TIM channel x status and control register (TSCx):
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 18-3.
b. Write 1 to the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx.
