41.8.2 Control B Clear

The user can change this register without doing a read-modify-write operation. Changes in this register will, also, be reflected in the Control B Set (CTRLBSET) register.
Name: CTRLBCLR
Offset: 0x04
Reset: 0x00
Property: PAC Write-Protection, Write-Synchronized, Read-Synchronized

Bit 76543210 
 CMD[2:0]IDXCMD[1:0]ONESHOTLUPDDIR 
Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 00000000 

Bits 7:5 – CMD[2:0] TCC Command

These bits can be used for software control of re-triggering and stop commands of the TCC. When a command is executed, the CMD bit field reads back as ‘0’. The commands are executed on the next prescaled GCLK_TCCx clock cycle.

Writing a ‘0’ to this bit group has no effect.

Writing a ‘1’ to any of these bits clears the pending command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0NONENo action
0x1RETRIGGERClear start, restart or retrigger
0x2STOPForce stop
0x3UPDATEForce update of double buffered registers
0x4READSYNCForce COUNT read synchronization
0x5DMAOSOne-shot DMA trigger

Bits 4:3 – IDXCMD[1:0] Ramp Index Command

These bits can be used to force cycle A and cycle B changes in the RAMP2 and RAMP2A operation. On the timer/counter update condition, the command is executed, the IDX flag in STATUS register is updated and the IDXCMD command is cleared.

Writing a ‘0’ to these bits has no effect.

Writing a ‘1’ to any of these bits clears the pending command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0DISABLEDISABLE Command disabled: IDX toggles between cycles A and B
0x1SETSet IDX: cycle B will be forced in the next cycle
0x2CLEARClear IDX: cycle A will be forced in next cycle
0x3HOLDHold IDX: the next cycle will be the same as the current cycle.

Bit 2 – ONESHOT One-Shot

This bit controls the one-shot operation of the TCC. When the one-shot operation is enabled, the TCC stops counting on the next overflow/underflow condition or on a stop command.

Writing a ‘0’ to this bit has no effect

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit disables the one-shot operation.

ValueDescription
0The TCC will update the counter value on overflow/underflow condition and continue operation.
1The TCC will stop counting on the next underflow/overflow condition.

Bit 1 – LUPD Lock Update

This bit controls the update operation of the TCC buffered registers.

When CTRLB.LUPD is cleared, the hardware UPDATE registers, with the value from their buffered registers, are enabled.

This bit has no effect when the input capture operation is enabled.

Writing a ‘0’ to this bit has no effect.

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the registers updates on the hardware UPDATE condition.

ValueDescription
0The CCBx, PERB, PGVB and PGEB buffer registers values are copied into the corresponding CCx, PER, PGV and PGE registers on hardware update condition.
1The CCBx, PERB, PGVB and PGEB buffer registers values are not copied into the corresponding CCx, PER, PGV and PGE registers on hardware update condition.

Bit 0 – DIR Counter Direction

This bit is used to change the direction of the counter.

Writing a ‘0’ to this bit has no effect.

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit set the bit and makes the counter count down.

ValueDescription
0The timer/counter is counting up (incrementing).
1The timer/counter is counting down (decrementing).
