Figure 22-27. Modulus Counter Buffered (MCB) Up/Down Mode
Figure 22-28 describes in more detail the A1 register update process in up counter mode. The A1 load
signal is generated at the last system clock period of a counter cycle. Thus, A1 is updated with A2 value
at the same time that the counter (EMIOS_CCNTR[n]) is loaded with 0x1. The load signal pulse has the
duration of one system clock period. If A2 is written within cycle
n its value is available at A1 at the first
clock of cycle n+1 and the new value is used for match at cycle n+1 . The update disable bits OU[n] of
EMIOS_OUDR can be used to control the update of this register, thus allowing to delay the A1 register
update for synchronization purposes.
Figure 22-28. MCB Mode A1 Register Update in Up Counter Mode
Figure 22-29 describes the A1 register update in up/down counter mode. Note that A2 can be written at
any time within cycle n in order to be used in cycle n+1 . Thus A1 receives this new value at the next cycle
boundary. Note that the update disable bits OU[n] of EMIOS_OUDR can be used to disable the update of
register A1.
