24.8.1 Quick Start Guide for TC - Basic

In this use case, the TC will be used to generate a PWM signal. Here the pulse width is set to one quarter of the period. The TC module will be set up as follows:

  • GCLK generator 0 (GCLK main) clock source

  • 16-bit resolution on the counter

  • No prescaler

  • Normal PWM wave generation

  • GCLK reload action

  • Don't run in standby

  • No inversion of waveform output

  • No capture enabled

  • Count upward

  • Don't perform one-shot operations

  • No event input enabled

  • No event action

  • No event generation enabled

  • Counter starts on 0

  • Capture compare channel 0 set to 0xFFFF/4
