8.2.9 Buffer Registers (BRA, BRB)
The buffer registers are 16-bit registers. The ITU has four buffer registers, two each in channels 3
and 4.
Channel

BRA3, BRB3
BRA4, BRB4
Function
Used for buffering
• When the corresponding GRA or GRB functions as an output
compare register, BRA or BRB can function as an output compare
buffer register: the BRA or BRB value is automatically transferred
to GRA or GRB at compare match
• When the corresponding GRA or GRB functions as an input
capture register, BRA or BRB can function as an input capture
buffer register: the GRA or GRB value is automatically transferred
to BRA or BRB at input capture

A buffer register is a 16-bit readable/writable register that is used when buffering is selected.
Buffering can be selected independently by bits BFB4, BFA4, BFB3, and BFA3 in TFCR.
The buffer register and general register operate as a pair. When the general register functions as an
output compare register, the buffer register functions as an output compare buffer register. When
the general register functions as an input capture register, the buffer register functions as an input
capture buffer register.
The buffer registers are linked to the CPU by an internal 16-bit bus and can be written or read by
either word or byte access.
Buffer registers are initialized to H'FFFF by a reset and in standby mode.
