19.2.4. Frequency Output Mode
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated
CEXn pin. The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the out-
put is toggled. The frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 19.1.
F_CEXn
=
---------------^F----^P---^C---^A---------------
2  PCA0CPHn
Note: A value of 0x00 in the PCA0CPHn register is equal to 256 for this equation.
Equation 19.1. Square Wave Frequency Output
Where F_PCA is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS2-0 bits in the PCA mode register, PCA0MD.
The lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a match,
CEXn is toggled and the offset held in the high byte is added to the matched value in PCA0CPLn. Fre-
quency Output Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register.
