41.1 Overview
The device provides three instances of the Timer/Counter for Control Applications (TCC).
Each TCC instance consists of a counter, a prescaler, compare/capture channels and control logic. The counter can be set to count events or clock pulses. The counter together with the compare/capture channels can be configured to time stamp input events, allowing capture of frequency and pulse-width. It can also perform waveform generation, such as frequency generation and pulse-width modulation.
Waveform extensions are featured for motor control, ballast, LED, H-bridge, power converters and other types of power control applications. They allow for low-side and high-side output with optional dead-time insertion. Waveform extensions can also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the waveform output pins. The fault options enable fault protection for safe and deterministic handling, disabling and/or shut-down of external drivers.

---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 24 | 1 | 6 | 6 |
1 | 24 | 2 | 6 | 6 |
