47.7.3 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.

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_TCCx 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
0x0NONENo action
0x1RETRIGGERForce start, restart or retrigger
0x2STOPForce stop
0x3UPDATEForce update of double buffered registers
0x4READSYNCForce a read synchronization of COUNT
0x5DMAOSOne-shot DMA trigger

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

These bits can be used to force cycle A and cycle B changes in all RAMP2x operations. 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
0x0DISABLENo Command: IDX toggles between cycles A and B
0x1SETSet IDX: cycle B will be forced in the next cycle
0x2CLEARClear IDX: cycle A will be forced in next cycle
0x3HOLDHold 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
0The TCC will count continuously.
1The 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 CTRLBSET.LUPD (CTRLBSET<1>) 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
0The CCBUFy, PERBUF, PGVB bits (PATTBUF <15:8>) and PGEV bits (PATTBUF <7:0>) buffer registers values are copied into the corresponding CCy, PER, PGV bits (PATT <15:8>), and PGE bits (PATT <7:0>) registers on hardware update condition.
1The CCBUFy, PERBUF, PGVB bits (PATTBUF <15:8>) and PGEV bits (PATTBUF <7:0>) buffer registers values are not copied into CCy, PER, PGV bits (PATT <15:8>), and PGE bits (PATT <7:0>) registers on hardware update condition.

Bit 0 – DIR Counter Direction

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

Note: When TC is counting down, the COUNT register must be initialized to TOP value (PER or CC0 value depending on the mode).

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect

Writing a '1' to this bit will set the bit and make the counter count down. Reading this bit gives following status:

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