Bits 23:6 – PERBUF[17:0] Period Buffer Value

These bits hold the value of the Period Buffer register. The value is copied to the PER register on the UPDATE condition.

Note: When the TCC is configured as a 16-bit timer/counter, the excess bits are read as ‘0’.

Note: This bit field occupies the MSB of the register, [23:m]. m is dependent on the Resolution bits in the Control A register (CTRLA.RESOLUTION):


CTRLA.RESOLUTION	Bits [23:m]
0x0 - NONE	23:0
0x1 - DITH4	23:4
0x2 - DITH5	23:5
0x3 - DITH6	23:6 (depicted)

Bits 5:0 – DITHERBUF[5:0] Dithering Buffer Cycle Number

These bits represent the PER.DITHER bits buffer. When the double buffering is enabled, the value of this bit field is copied to the PER.DITHER bits on an UPDATE condition.

Note: This bit field consists of the n LSB of the register. n is dependent on the value of the Resolution bits in the Control A register (CTRLA.RESOLUTION):


CTRLA.RESOLUTION	Bits [n:0]
0x0 - NONE	—
0x1 - DITH4	3:0
0x2 - DITH5	4:0
0x3 - DITH6	5:0 (depicted)
