1.34 TCC Compare Mode

This example shows how to use the TCC module in compare mode to generate different waveforms.

Description

Three TCC channels are configured in compare mode. Each channel generates different output waveform depending upon configured action on compare match and period match.

Normal Frequency Mode: The waveform generation output (WO[x]) is toggled on each compare match between COUNT and CCx

Match Frequency Mode: The waveform generation output (WO[0]) is toggled on each time COUNT register is auto updated.
