Figure 21-18. ASQ Block Diagram
21.4.1 Time Counter
shows that the ASQ has a 20-bit time counter running at 1/16 of the PLL clock. The counter
value can be read from the read-only registers, SAPHATIMLO (low 16 bits) and SAPHATIMHI (high 4
bits). The time counter is controlled by the ASQ during measurement in auto mode; however, the time
counter can be forced to stop (SAPHTBCTL.TSTOP = 1), reset (SAPHTBCTL.TCLR = 1), and start
(SAPHTBCTL.TSTART = 1) by user software if necessary. Controlling the time counter by user software is
not recommended while ASQ is actively controlling the measurement sequences, because these changes
interfere with the measurement timings.
