CNTIN defines the starting value of the count and MOD defines the final value of the
count, see the following figure. The value of CNTIN is loaded into the FTM counter, and
the counter increments until the value of MOD is reached, at which point the counter is
reloaded with the value of CNTIN.
The FTM period when using up counting is (MOD – CNTIN + 0x0001) × period of the
FTM counter clock.
The TOF bit is set when the FTM counter changes from MOD to CNTIN.
A counter event happens at the same time of TOF bit set when the FTM counter changes
from MOD to CNTIN. See
Counter events for more details.
FTM counting is up.

When Then
CNTIN = 0x0000 The FTM counting is equivalent to TPM up counting, that is,
up and unsigned counting. See the following figure.
CNTIN[15] = 1 The initial value of the FTM counter is a negative number in
two's complement, so the FTM counting is up and signed.
CNTIN[15] = 0 and CNTIN ≠ 0x0000 The initial value of the FTM counter is a positive number, so
the FTM counting is up and unsigned.
