25.3.3.2.4 Dual Slope Mode

In Dual Slope mode, a TCD cycle consists of the TCD counter counting down from the CMPBCLR value to zero and up again to the CMPBCLR value, which gives a TCD cycle period:

$T_{\text{TCD\_cycle}}=\frac{2\times (\mathrm{CMPBCLR}+1)}{f_{\text{CLK\_TCD\_CNT}}}$

The WOA output is set when the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPASET value. WOA is cleared when the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPASET value.

The WOB output is set when the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPBSET value. WOB is cleared when the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPBSET value.

The outputs will overlap if CMPASET > CMPBSET.

When starting the TCD in Dual Slope mode, the TCD counter starts at the CMPBCLR value and counts down. In the first cycle, the WOB will not be set until the TCD counter matches the CMPBSET value when counting up.

When the Disable at End of Cycle Strobe (DISEOC) bit in the Control E (TCDn.CTRLE) register is set, the TCD will automatically be disabled at the end of the TCD cycle.
