signal a specified number of clock cycles after detecting an input event
(edge), use the input capture function to record the time at which the
edge occurred. A number corresponding to the desired delay is added
to this captured value and stored to an output compare register (see
25.9.5 TIMA Channel Registers
). Because both input captures and
output compares are referenced to the same 16-bit modulo counter, the
delay can be controlled to the resolution of the counter independent of
software latencies.
Reset does not affect the contents of the input capture channel register
(TACHxH–TACHxL).
25.4.3 Output Compare
With the output compare function, the TIMA can generate a periodic
pulse with a programmable polarity, duration, and frequency. When the
counter reaches the value in the registers of an output compare channel,
the TIMA can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin. Output compares can
generate TIMA CPU interrupt requests.
25.4.3.1 Unbuffered Output C ompare
Any output compare channel can generate unbuffered output compare
pulses as described in
25.4.3 Output Compare
. The pulses are
unbuffered because changing the output compare value requires writing
the new value over the old value currently in the TIMA channel registers.
An unsynchronized write to the TIMA channel registers to change an
output compare value could cause incorrect operation for up to two
counter overflow periods. For example, writing a new value before the
counter reaches the old value but after the counter reaches the new
value prevents any compare during that counter overflow period. Also,
using a TIMA overflow interrupt routine to write a new, smaller output
compare value may cause the compare to be missed. The TIMA may
pass the new value before it is written.
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the
output compare value on channel x:
