Section 12 Programmable Pulse Generator (PPG)
The programmable pulse generator provides pulse outputs using the 16-bit timer pulse unit (TPU)
as a time base. The PPG pulse outputs are divided into 4-bit groups (group 2 and group 3) that can
operate both simultaneously and independently. The block diagram of the PPG is shown in figure
12.1.
