36.8.2 Control B Clear

This register allows the user to 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.
Note: This register is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.CTRLB must be checked to ensure the CTRLBCLR register synchronization is complete.
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 has been executed, the CMD bit field will read back zero. The commands are executed on the next prescaled GCLK_TCC clock cycle.

Writing zero to this bit group has no effect.

Writing a '1' to any of these bits will clear the pending command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 NONE No action
0x1 RETRIGGER Clear start, restart or retrigger
0x2 STOP Force stop
0x3 UPDATE Force update of double buffered registers
0x4 READSYNC Force COUNT read synchronization
0x5 DMAOS One-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 RAMP2 and RAMP2A operation. On timer/counter update condition, the command is executed, the IDX flag in STATUS register is updated and the IDXCMD command is cleared.

Writing zero to these bits has no effect.

Writing a '1' to any of these bits will clear the pending command.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 DISABLE DISABLE Command disabled: IDX toggles between cycles A and B
0x1 SET Set IDX: cycle B will be forced in the next cycle
0x2 CLEAR Clear IDX: cycle A will be forced in next cycle
0x3 HOLD Hold IDX: the next cycle will be the same as the current cycle.

Bit 2 – ONESHOT One-Shot

This bit controls one-shot operation of the TCC. When one-shot operation is enabled, the TCC will stop 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 will disable the one-shot operation.

ValueDescription
0 The TCC will update the counter value on overflow/underflow condition and continue operation.
1 The 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 value from their buffered registers is enabled.

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

Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect.

Writing a '1' to this bit will enable the registers updates on hardware UPDATE condition.

ValueDescription
0 The CCBx, PERB, PGVB, PGOB, and SWAPBx buffer registers values are copied into the corresponding CCx, PER, PGV, PGO and SWAPx registers on hardware update condition.
1 The CCBx, PERB, PGVB, PGOB, and SWAPBx buffer registers values are not copied into the corresponding CCx, PER, PGV, PGO and SWAPx 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 will clear the bit and make the counter count up.

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