2 Overview

The 12-bit Timer/Counter type D (TCD) is a high-performance waveform generator that consists of an asynchronous counter, a prescaler, and compare, capture and control logic. The TCD contains a counter that can run on a clock which is asynchronous to the peripheral clock. It contains compare logic that can generate two independent outputs with optional dead time.
