47.7.2 Control B Clear

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 (CTRLBSET) 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 read back zero. The commands are executed on the next prescaled GCLK_TCCx clock cycle.

Writing zero to this bit group has no effect.

Writing a '1' to any of these bits will clear the pending command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0NONENo action
0x1RETRIGGERClear start, restart or retrigger
0x2STOPForce stop
0x3UPDATEForce update of double buffered registers
0x4READSYNCForce COUNT read synchronization
0x5DMAOSOne-shot DMA trigger

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

These bits can be used to force cycle A (Ramp A) and cycle B (Ramp 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 zero to these bits has no effect.

Writing a '1' to any of these bits will clear the pending 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 one-shot operation is enabled, the TCC will stop counting on the next overflow/underflow condition or on a stop command.

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect

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

Reading this bit gives the following status:

ValueDescription
0The TCC will update the counter value on overflow/underflow condition and continue operation.
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 CTRLBCLR.LUPD (CTRLBCLR<1>) is cleared, the hardware UPDATE registers with value from their buffered registers is enabled.

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 enable the registers updates on hardware UPDATE condition.

Reading this bit gives the following status:

ValueDescription
0The CCBUFy, PERBUF, PGVB bits (PATTBUF <15:8>) and PGEV bits (PATTBUF <7:0>) buffer register bitfields are copied into the corresponding CCy, PER, PGV bits (PATT <15:8>), and PGE bits (PATT <7:0>) registers and register bitfields on hardware update condition.
1The CCBUFy, PERBUF, PGVB bits (PATTBUF <15:8>) and PGEV bits (PATTBUF <7:0>) buffer registers bitfields are not copied into the corresponding CCy, PER, PGV bits (PATT <15:8>), and PGE bits (PATT <7:0>) registers and register bitfields 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. Reading this bit gives the following status:

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