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 REMCARR.CRDTY[7:0] and REMCARR.CRPER[7:0] bits. Fig-
ure 17.4.3.2 shows an example of the carrier signal generated.
Example) REMCARR.CRDTY[7:0] bits = 2, REMCARR.CRPER[7:0] bits = 8

The 8-bit counter for carrier generation is reset by the REMDBCTL.PRESET bit and is started/stopped by the
REMDBCTL.PRUN bit in conjunction with the 16-bit counter for data signal generation. When the counter
value is matched with the REMCARR.CRDTY[7:0] bits, the carrier signal waveform is inverted. When the
counter value is matched with the REMCARR.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 (REM-
DBCNT.DBCNT[15:0] bits) that runs with CLK_REMC3 and the setting values of the REMAPLEN.
APLEN[15:0] and REMDBLEN.DBLEN[15:0] bits. Figure 17.4.3.3 shows an example of the data signal gen-
erated.
