23.3.2.2.4.1 Use of the ARST Bit In Case of a Toothed Wheel Without Singularity
If a toothed wheel has no singularity (that is, no missing teeth), the ACNT must be reset when it reaches
the angle zero point. To reset the ACNT when it reaches the angle zero point, set the ARST bit to 1.
Setting the ARST bit before the reload of the tick counter will cause the HWAG to fail to reload the tick
counter. The HWAG will act like a normal tooth but the next active edge on the toothed wheel input will
reset the ACNT and TCNT and clear the ARST bit. For an example of using the ARST bit in a toothed
wheel without singularity, see
