General-Purpose Timer
The Z8FMC16100 Series Flash MCU contains one 16-bit reloadable timer that can be
used for timing, event counting, or generation of pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals.
Features
• 16-bit reload counter
• Programmable prescaler with prescale values from 1 to 128
• PWM output generation (single or differential)
• Capture and compare capability
• External input pin for event counting, clock gating, or capture signal
• Complementary Timer Output pins
• Timer interrupt
Architecture
Capture and compare capability measures the velocity from a tachometer wheel or reads
sensor outputs for rotor position for brushless DC motor commutation. Figure 10 illus-
trates the architecture of the timer.
