Timer Interface Module A (TIMA)
TIMA during break interrupts
A break interrupt stops the TIMA counter.
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in
other modules can be cleared during the break state. The BCFE bit in
the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR) enables software to clear
status bits during the break state. See SIM break flag control register
(SBFCR) on page 93.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a
logic one to the BCFE bit. If a status bit is cleared during the break state,
it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a logic zero to the
BCFE bit. With BCFE at logic zero (its default state), software can read
and write I/O registers during the break state without affecting status
bits. Some status bits have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If
software does the first step on such a bit before the break, the bit cannot
change during the break state as long as BCFE is at logic zero. After the
break, doing the second step clears the status bit.
