Carrier signal
The carrier signal is generated by comparing the values of the 8-bit counter for carrier generation that runs with
CLK_REMC3 and the setting values of the REMC3CARR.CRDTY[7:0] and REMC3CARR.CRPER[7:0] bits.
Figure 18.4.3.2 shows an example of the carrier signal generated.
Example) REMC3CARR.CRDTY[7:0] bits = 2, REMC3CARR.CRPER[7:0] bits = 8

The 8-bit counter for carrier generation is reset by the REMC3DBCTL.PRESET bit and is started/stopped by
the REMC3DBCTL.PRUN bit in conjunction with the 16-bit counter for data signal generation. When the
counter value is matched with the REMC3CARR.CRDTY[7:0] bits, the carrier signal waveform is inverted.
When the counter value is matched with the REMC3CARR.CRPER[7:0] bits, the carrier signal waveform is
inverted and the counter is reset to 0x00.
Data signal
The data signal is generated by comparing the values of the 16-bit counter for data signal generation
(REMC3DBCNT.DBCNT[15:0] bits) that runs with CLK_REMC3 and the setting values of the REMC3A-
PLEN.APLEN[15:0] and REMC3DBLEN.DBLEN[15:0] bits. Figure 18.4.3.3 shows an example of the data
signal generated.
