Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Mode

In PWM mode, the timer outputs pulses of a given width in succession. The counter functions as either
a 16-bit pulse width modulator or 8-bit pulse width modulator. Table 17.14 lists PWM Mode
Specifications. Table 17.15 lists Registers and the Setting in PWM Mode. Figure 17.11 and Figure
17.12 show Operation Example in 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulation Mode and Operation Example in 8-Bit
Pulse Width Modulation Mode, respectively.

•
Decrement (operating as an 8-bit or a 16-bit pulse width modulator)
•
The timer reloads the reload register value at a rising edge of PWM pulse and
continues counting.
•
The timer is not affected by a trigger that occurs during counting.

•
The TAiS bit of the TABSR register is set to 1 (start counting).
•
The TAiS bit is 1 and external trigger input from the TAiIN pin
•
The TAiS bit is 1 and one of the following triggers occurs
Timer B2 overflow or underflow
Timer Aj overflow or underflow (j = i - 1, except j = 4 if i = 0)
Timer Ak overflow or underflow (k = i + 1, except k = 0 if i = 4)
The TAiS bit is set to 0 (stop counting).
On the falling edge of the PWM pulse
I/O port or trigger input
Pulse output
An undefined value is read when reading the TAi register.
•
When not counting
Value written to the TAi register is written to both the reload register and counter.
•
When counting
Value written to the TAi register is written to only the reload register
(transferred to counter when reloaded next time).
•
Output polarity control
The output polarity of the TAiOUT pin is inverted. (While the TAiS bit is set to 0 (stop
counting), a high-level signal is output).
