# 1.15 OCMP Compare Mode

This example application shows how to use the OCMP peripheral to generate an active low, active high, and toggle output on compare match.

## Description

In this application, three OCMP modules are used to generate waveforms.

Active Low Output: By default output is set as high and it is set as low on the compare match

Active High Output: By default output is set as low and it is set as high on the compare match

Toggled Output: Compare match toggles the output
