NOTE:
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle
on output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0%
duty cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to
self-correct in the event of software error or noise. Toggling on output
compare also can cause incorrect PWM signal generation when
changing the PWM pulse width to a new, much larger value.
Buffered PWM
signal generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTE2/TACH0 pin. The TIMA channel registers of
the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIMA channel 0 status and control register
(TASC0) links channel 0 and channel 1. The TIMA channel 0 registers
initially control the pulse width on the PTE2/TACH0 pin. Writing to the
TIMA channel 1 registers enables the TIMA channel 1 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMA channel registers (0 or
1) that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TASC0
controls and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIMA channel 1
status and control register (TASC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set,
the channel 1 pin, PTE3/TACH1, is available as a general-purpose I/O
pin.
Channels 2 and 3 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTF0/TACH2 pin. The TIMA channel registers of
the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS2B bit in TIMA channel 2 status and control register
(TASC2) links channel 2 and channel 3. The TIMA channel 2 registers
initially control the pulse width on the PTF0/TACH2 pin. Writing to the
TIMA channel 3 registers enables the TIMA channel 3 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMA channel registers (2 or
3) that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TASC2
controls and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIMA channel 3
status and control register (TASC3) is unused. While the MS2B bit is set,
the channel 3 pin, PTF1/TACH3, is available as a general-purpose I/O
pin.
