Bits 31:6 – PERBUF[25:0] Period Buffer Value

These bits hold the value of the Period Buffer register. The value is copied to the PER register on UPDATE condition.

Note: When the TCC instance is a 16-bit timer/counter, the excess bits are read zero.
Note: This bit field occupies the MSB of the register, [31:m]. m is dependent on the Resolution bit in the Control A register (CTRLA.RESOLUTION(CTRLA <6:5>)):

0x2 - DITH531:5
0x3 - DITH631:6 (depicted)

Bits 5:0 – DITHERBUF[5:0] Dithering Buffer Cycle Number

These bits represent the buffer for the PER.DITHER bits. When the double buffering is enabled, the value of this bit field is copied to the PER.DITHER bits on an UPDATE condition.
Note: This bit field consists of the n LSB of the register. n is dependent on the value of the Resolution bits in the Control A register (CTRLA.RESOLUTION(CTRLA <6:5>)):
CTRLA.RESOLUTION(CTRLA <6:5>)Bits [n:0]
