Timer_A
Timers TA0, TA1, TA2 and TA3 are 16-bit timers/counters (Timer_A type) with five capture/compare
registers each. Each timer supports multiple capture/compares, PWM outputs, and interval timing. Each
has extensive interrupt capabilities. Interrupts may be generated from the counter on overflow conditions
and from each of the capture/compare registers.
6.9.3.1
Timer_A Signal Connection Tables
through
list the interface signals of the Timer_A modules on the device and
connections of the interface signals to the corresponding pins or internal signals. The following rules apply
to the naming conventions used.
•
The first column lists the device level pin or internal signal that sources the clocks and/or triggers into
the Timer. The default assumption is that these are pins, unless specifically marked as (internal).
Nomenclature used for internal signals is as follows:
–
CxOUT: output from Comparator x.
–
TAx_Cy: Output from Timer x, Capture/Compare module y.
•
The second column lists the input signals of the Timer module.
•
The third column lists the submodule of the Timer and also implies the functionality (Timer, Capture
(Inputs or Triggers), or Compare (Outputs or PWM)).
•
The fourth column lists the output signals of the Timer module.
•
The fifth column lists the device-level pin or internal signal that is driven by the outputs of the Timer.
The default assumption is that these are pins, unless specifically marked as (internal).
NOTE
The pin names listed in the tables are the complete names. It is the responsibility of the
software to ensure that the pin is used in the intended mode for the targeted Timer
functionality.
NOTE
Internal signals that are sourced by the Timer outputs may connect to other modules (for
example, other timers or the ADC) in the device (as trigger sources).
