In Dual Slope mode, a TCD cycle consists
of the TCD counter counting down from CMPBCLR value
to zero, and up again to the CMPBCLR value. This gives a TCD cycle period:
The WOA output is set when
the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPASET
value. WOA is cleared when the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPASET
value.
The WOB output is set when
the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPBSET
value. WOB is cleared when the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPBSET value.
Figure 22-7. Dual Slope Mode
The outputs will be overlapping if CMPBSET > CMPASET.
CMPACLR is not used in Dual Slope Mode. Writing a value to CMPACLR has no effect.
When starting the TCD in Dual Slope Mode,
the TCD counter starts at the CMPBCLR value and
counts down. The WOA will not be set
before the end of the first TCD cycle.
