Selecting the PTS Mode

The second byte of each PTSCB is always an 8-bit value called PTSCON. Bits 5–7 select the PTS

mode (Figure 5-11). The function of bits 0–4 differ for each PTS mode. Refer to the sections that

describe each routine in detail to see the function of these bits. Table 5-4 on page 5-10 lists the

execution times for each PTS mode.

The PTS control (PTSCON) register selects the PTS mode and sets up control functions for that

The function of this bit depends upon which mode is selected. See the PTS control block description

in each PTS mode section.

Figure 5-11. PTS Mode Selection Bits (PTSCON Bits 7:5)

In single transfer mode, an interrupt causes the PTS to transfer a single byte or word (selected by

the BW bit in PTSCON) from one memory location to another. This mode is typically used with

serial I/O, or synchronous serial I/O, or slave port interrupts. It can also be used with the EPA to

move captured time values from the event-time register to internal RAM for further processing.

See AP-445, 8XC196KR Peripherals: A User's Point of View, for application examples with code.
