21.3.3.4.5 Port Override for Waveform Generation

To make the waveform generation available on the port pins, the corresponding port pin direction must be set as output (PORTx.DIR[n] = 1). The TCA will override the port pin values when the compare channel is enabled (CMPnEN = 1 in the TCAn.CTRLB register), and a Waveform Generation mode is selected.

The figure below shows the port override for TCA. The timer/counter compare channel will override the port pin output value (PORTx.OUT) on the corresponding port pin. Enabling inverted I/O on the port pin (INVEN = 1 in the PORTx.PINnCTRL register) inverts the corresponding WG output.
