31.8.3 Control B Set

This register allows the user to change this register without doing a read-modify-write operation. Changes in this register will also be reflected in the Control B Set (CTRLBCLR) register.
Name: CTRLBSET
Offset: 0x05
Reset: 0x00
Property: PAC Write-Protection, Write-Synchronized, Read-Synchronized

Bit 76543210 
 CMD[2:0]IDXCMD[1:0]ONESHOTLUPDDIR 
Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 00000000 

Bits 7:5 – CMD[2:0] TCC Command

These bits can be used for software control of re-triggering and stop commands of the TCC. When a command has been executed, the CMD bit field will be read back as zero. The commands are executed on the next prescaled GCLK_TCC clock cycle.

Writing zero to this bit group has no effect

Writing a valid value to this bit group will set the associated command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 NONE No action
0x1 RETRIGGER Force start, restart or retrigger
0x2 STOP Force stop
0x3 UPDATE Force update of double buffered registers
0x4 READSYNC Force a read synchronization of COUNT

Bits 4:3 – IDXCMD[1:0] Ramp Index Command

These bits can be used to force cycle A and cycle B changes in RAMP2 and RAMP2A operation. On timer/counter update condition, the command is executed, the IDX flag in STATUS register is updated and the IDXCMD command is cleared.

Writing a zero to these bits has no effect.

Writing a valid value to these bits will set a command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 DISABLE Command disabled: IDX toggles between cycles A and B
0x1 SET Set IDX: cycle B will be forced in the next cycle
0x2 CLEAR Clear IDX: cycle A will be forced in next cycle
0x3 HOLD Hold IDX: the next cycle will be the same as the current cycle.

Bit 2 – ONESHOT One-Shot

This bit controls one-shot operation of the TCC. When in one-shot operation, the TCC will stop counting on the next overflow/underflow condition or a stop command.

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect.

Writing a '1' to this bit will enable the one-shot operation.

ValueDescription
0 The TCC will count continuously.
1 The TCC will stop counting on the next underflow/overflow condition.

Bit 1 – LUPD Lock Update

This bit controls the update operation of the TCC buffered registers.

When CTRLB.LUPD is set, the hardware UPDATE registers with value from their buffered registers is disabled. Disabling the update ensures that all buffer registers are valid before an hardware update is performed. After all the buffer registers are loaded correctly, the buffered registers can be unlocked.

This bit has no effect when input capture operation is enabled.

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect.

Writing a '1' to this bit will disable the registers updates on hardware UPDATE condition.

ValueDescription
0 The CCBx, PERB, PGVB, PGOB, and SWAPBx buffer registers values are copied into the corresponding CCx, PER, PGV, PGO and SWAPx registers on hardware update condition.
1 The CCBx, PERB, PGVB, PGOB, and SWAPBx buffer registers values are not copied into CCx, PER, PGV, PGO and SWAPx registers on hardware update condition.

Bit 0 – DIR Counter Direction

This bit is used to change the direction of the counter.

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect

Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the bit and make the counter count up.

ValueDescription
0 The timer/counter is counting up (incrementing).
1 The timer/counter is counting down (decrementing).
