37.2.4 TimerA Output Stage
The comparator output of the analog front end AFE1, the ESIEX(tsm) signal, and two preprocessing unit
outputs PPUS1 and PPUS2 are connected to a Timer_A's capture inputs through the ESI's Timer_A
output stage, shown in
. There are two different modes that are selected by the ESICS bit.
The Timer_A Output Stage provides the ESIOx signals to one of the device's Timer_A module. See the
device-specific data sheet for connection of these signals.
Figure 37-12. Timer_A Output Stage of the Analog Front End
When ESICS = 0, the ESIEX(tsm) signal and the comparator output can be selected as inputs to different
Timer_A capture/compare registers. This can be used to measure the time between excitation of a sensor
and the last oscillation that passes through the comparator or to perform a slope A/D conversion.
