44.7.15 Counter Value

Note: Prior to any read access, this register must be synchronized by user by writing the according TCC Command value to the Control B Set register (CTRLBSET.CMD(CTRLBSET<7:5>)=READSYNC).

Bits 31:0 – COUNT[31:0] Counter Value

These bits hold the value of the Counter register. When dithering is used, some LSBs of the counter cannot be used for counting and are read to 0. These bits are used for dithering. The number of LSBs used for dithering depends on the dithering resolution set by the CTRLA.RESOLUTION bits (CTRLA <6:5>).

Note: This bit field occupies the MSB of the register, [31:m]. m is dependent on the Resolution bit in the Control A register (CTRLA.RESOLUTION(CTRLA <6:5>)):
