17.3.2 RTI Timebase Control Register (RTITBCTRL)
The timebase control register selects if the free running counter 0 is incremented by RTICLK or NTU. This
register is shown in
and described in

INC
Increment free running counter 0. This bit determines whether the free running counter 0 (RTIFRC0) is
automatically incremented if a failing clock on the NTU signal is detected.
0
RTIFRC0 will not be incremented on a failing external clock.
1
RTIFRC0 will be incremented on a failing external clock.
0
TBEXT
Timebase external. This bit selects whether the free running counter 0 (RTIFRC0) is clocked by the
internal up counter 0 (RTIUC0) or from the external signal NTU. Setting the TBEXT bit from 0 to 1 will
not increment RTIFRC0, since RTIUC0 is reset.
When the timebase supervisor circuit detects a missing clock edge, then the TBEXT bit is reset.
Only the software can select whether the external signal should be used.
0
RTIUC0 clocks RTIFRC0.
1
NTU clocks RTIFRC0.
