10. 8-Bit TimerCounter (TC5, TC6)
10.1 Configuration
TMP86CM29LUG
10.3.7 16-Bit Programmable Pulse Generate (PPG) Output Mode (TC5 and 6)
This mode is used to generate pulses with up to 16-bits of resolution. The timer counter 5 and 6 are cascad-
able to enter the 16-bit PPG mode.
The counter counts up using the internal clock. When a match between the up-counter and the timer register
(PWREG5, PWREG6) value is detected, the logic level output from the timer F/F6 is switched to the opposite
state. The counter continues counting. The logic level output from the timer F/F6 is switched to the opposite
state again when a match between the up-counter and the timer register (TTREG5, TTREG6) value is detected,
and the counter is cleared. The INTTC6 interrupt is generated at this time.
Since the initial value can be set to the timer F/F6 by TC6CR<TFF6>, positive and negative pulses can be
generated. Upon reset, the timer F/F6 is cleared to 0.
(The logic level output from the PPG6 pin is the opposite to the timer F/F6.)
Set the lower byte and upper byte in this order to program the timer register. (TTREG5 → TTREG6,
PWREG5 → PWREG6) (Programming only the upper or lower byte should not be attempted.)
For PPG output, set the output latch of the I/O port to 1.
Example :Generating a pulse with 1-ms high-level width and a period of 16.385 ms (fc = 16.0 MHz)
Setting ports
LDW
(PWREG5), 07D0H
: Sets the pulse width.
LDW
(TTREG5), 8002H
: Sets the cycle period.
LD
(TC5CR), 33H
: Sets the operating clock to fc/2³, and16-bit PPG mode
(lower byte).
LD
(TC6CR), 057H
: Sets TFF6 to the initial value 0, and 16-bit
PPG mode (upper byte).
LD
(TC6CR), 05FH
: Starts the timer.
Note 1: In the PPG mode, do not change the PWREGi and TTREGi settings while the timer is running. Since
PWREGi and TTREGi are not in the shift register configuration in the PPG mode, the new values pro-
grammed in PWREGi and TTREGi are in effect immediately after programming PWREGi and TTREGi.
Therefore, if PWREGi and TTREGi are changed while the timer is running, an expected operation may not
be obtained.
Note 2: When the timer is stopped during PPG output, the PPG6 pin holds the output status when the timer is
stopped. To change the output status, program TC6CR<TFF6> after the timer is stopped. Do not change
TC6CR<TFF6> upon stopping of the timer.
Example: Fixing the PPG6 pin to the high level when the TimerCounter is stopped
CLR (TC6CR).3: Stops the timer
CLR (TC6CR).7: Sets the PPG6 pin to the high level
Note 3: i = 5, 6
