output pairs go through a dead-time insertion (DTI) unit that generates the non-inverted low side
(LS) and inverted high side (HS) of the WG output with dead-time insertion between LS and HS
switching. The DTI output will override the normal port value according to the port override set-
ting. Refer to
for more details.
The pattern generation unit can be used to generate a synchronized bit pattern on the port it is
connected to. In addition, the WG output from compare channel A can be distributed to and
override all the port pins. When the pattern generator unit is enabled, the DTI unit is bypassed.
The fault protection unit is connected to the event system, enabling any event to trigger a fault
condition that will disable the AWeX output. The event system ensures predictable and instant
fault reaction, and gives flexibility in the selection of fault triggers.

Port Override
The port override logic is common for all the timer/counter extensions.
shows a schematic diagram of the port override logic. When the dead-time enable (DTIENx) bit
is set, the timer/counter extension takes control over the pin pair for the corresponding channel.
Given this condition, the output override enable (OOE) bits take control over the CCxEN bits.
