Bit 6 – RUNSTDBY Run Standby
1
’ to this bit will enable the peripheral to run in Standby
sleep mode.Bit 5 – CASCADE Cascade Two Timer/Counters
Writing this bit to ‘1
’ enables cascading of two
16-bit Timer/Counters type B (TCBn) for 32-bit operation using the Event System.
This bit must be ‘1
’ for the timer/counter used for the two
Most Significant Bytes (MSB). When this bit is ‘1
’, the
selected event source for capture (CAPT) is delayed by one peripheral clock
cycle. This compensates the carry propagation delay when cascading two counters
via the Event System.
Bit 4 – SYNCUPD Synchronize Update
1
’, the TCB will restart whenever TCAn is restarted or
overflows. This can be used to synchronize capture with the PWM period. If TCAn is
selected as the clock source, the TCB will restart when that TCAn is restarted. For
other clock selections, it will restart together with TCA0.Bits 3:1 – CLKSEL[2:0] Clock Select
