28.4.1.1.10 Modulus Counter (MC) Mode
The MC mode can be used to provide a time base for a counter bus or as a general purpose timer.
MODE[6] bit selects internal or external clock source when cleared or set, respectively. When external
clock is selected, the input signal pin is used as the source and the triggering polarity edge is selected by
the EDPOL and EDSEL in the EMIOS_CCR[
n ] register.
The internal counter counts up from the current value until it matches the value in register A1. Register B1
is cleared and is not accessible to the MCU. The MODE[4] bit selects up mode or up/down mode, when
cleared or set, respectively.
When in up count mode, a match between the internal counter and register A1 sets the FLAG and clears
the internal counter. The timing of those events varies according to the MC mode setup as follows:
