TCA - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type A
  • Clarifications added
    • For single-slope PWM generation, counting from TOP to BOTTOM is not supported

    • Event actions with level input detection work reliably only if the event frequency is lower than the timer’s frequency
    • (H/L)CMPnOV bits in CTRLC in normal and split mode: When the output is connected to the pad, overriding these bits requires the CMPnEN bits in the TCAn.CTRLB register to be enabled. The CMPnEN bit is bypassed when the output is connected to the CCL.
    • LUPD bit in CTRLESET/CLR: LUPD does not prevent an update issued by CTRLE.CMD
    • For operation modes with update condition on BOTTOM and compare interrupt enabled:
      • If CMPn=0, an interrupt will be given together with the update at BOTTOM
      • If CMPnBUF=0, an interrupt will be given the next time the counter reaches BOTTOM
