19.4.3.2 Buffered Output C ompare
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered output compare
channel whose output appears on the PTF5/TBCH1 pin. The TIMB
channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIMB channel 0 status and control register
(TBSC0) links channel 0 and channel 1. The output compare value in the
TIMB channel 0 registers initially controls the output on the
PTE2/TACH0 pin. Writing to the TIMB channel 1 registers enables the
TIMB channel 1 registers to synchronously control the output after the
TIMB overflows. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMB channel
registers (0 or 1) that control the output are the ones written to last. TSC0
controls and monitors the buffered output compare function, and TIMB
channel 1 status and control register (TBSC1) is unused. While the
MS0B bit is set, the channel 1 pin, PTF4/TBCH0, is available as a
general-purpose I/O pin.
NOTE:
Channels 2 and 3 and channels 4 and 5 can be linked to operate as
specified above.
In buffered output compare operation, do not write new output compare
values to the currently active channel registers. Writing to the active
channel registers is the same as generating unbuffered output
compares.
19.4.4 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
By using the toggle-on-overflow feature with an output compare
channel, the TIMB can generate a PWM signal. The value in the TIMB
counter modulo registers determines the period of the PWM signal. The
channel pin toggles when the counter reaches the value in the TIMB
counter modulo registers. The time between overflows is the period of
the PWM signal.
As
Figure 19-2
shows, the output compare value in the TIMB channel
registers determines the pulse width of the PWM signal. The time
between overflow and output compare is the pulse width. Program the
TIMB to clear the channel pin on output compare if the state of the PWM
