Bits 7 and 6—Reserved: These bits cannot be modified and are always read as 1.
Bits 5 and 4—Combination Mode 1 and 0 (CMD1, CMD0): These bits select whether channels
3 and 4 operate in normal mode, complementary PWM mode, or reset-synchronized PWM mode.
Bit 5
CMD1
Bit 4
CMD0
Description
0
0
Channels 3 and 4 operate normally
(Initial value)
1
1
0
Channels 3 and 4 operate together in complementary PWM mode
1
Channels 3 and 4 operate together in reset-synchronized PWM mode
Before selecting reset-synchronized PWM mode or complementary PWM mode, halt the timer
counter or counters that will be used in these modes.
When these bits select complementary PWM mode or reset-synchronized PWM mode, they take
precedence over the setting of the PWM mode bits (PWM4 and PWM3) in TMDR. Settings of
timer sync bits SYNC4 and SYNC3 in the timer synchro register (TSNC) are valid in
complementary PWM mode and reset-synchronized PWM mode, however. When complementary
PWM mode is selected, channels 3 and 4 must not be synchronized (do not set bits SYNC3 and
SYNC4 both to 1 in TSNC).
Bit 3—Buffer Mode B4 (BFB4): Selects whether GRB4 operates normally in channel 4, or
whether GRB4 is buffered by BRB4.
Bit 3
BFB4
Description
0
GRB4 operates normally
(Initial value)
1
GRB4 is buffered by BRB4
Bit 2—Buffer Mode A4 (BFA4): Selects whether GRA4 operates normally in channel 4, or
whether GRA4 is buffered by BRA4.
Bit 2
BFA4
Description
0
GRA4 operates normally
(Initial value)
1
GRA4 is buffered by BRA4
