Hardware Limit Timer Control Register
Notes:
  1. 1.This bit is Reset to ‘1’.
  2. 2.If CSYNC = 0, the ERS and ON edges must occur sufficiently further away from the clock edge to be registered into the timer domain. If the ERS and/or ON edges occur too close to the clock edge, it may result in a Race condition and the ERS/ON edges may be missed.
  3. 3.The TUxyCLK clock source is enabled when ON = 1 regardless of the Start event.
  4. 4.If EPOL = 1, then timer Start/Reset/Stop conditions happen at the alternate level/edge, respectively.
  5. 5.When the timer is running, any subsequent Start condition is ignored. If RESET = ‘b10 (Reset at first clock after starting), the timer resets at every Start condition, even when the actual start event is being ignored.
  6. 6.If START = ‘b11 (level triggered at ERS = 1), RESET = ‘b10 (Reset at first clock after starting) applies only at the Off-On transition of the timer’s Run state.
  7. 7.If RESET = ‘b10 (level-triggered), the RUN bit is held at ‘0’.
  8. 8.A Reset or Stop event reloads the PR register as described in Timer Period Register.
  9. 9.Actions involving ERS require ON = 1 and a running clock.
  10. 10.Software can always set ON = 0 to stop the counter.
  11. 11.If OSEN = 1, a Stop event will clear ON.
  12. 12.This register is not clock synchronized and needs to only be written when ON = 0.
  13. 13.This register is not available when the module is chained and operated as a Secondary module.

Bit 7 – EPOL: ERS Polarity Selection

ERS Polarity Selection

ValueDescription
1 The edges and levels for Start, Reset and Stop are inverted
0 The edges and levels for Start, Reset and Stop are the true input levels

Bit 6 – CSYNC: ERS Clock Synchronization Select(1,2)

ERS Clock Synchronization Select(1,2)

ValueDescription
1 ERS and ON are synchronized with TUxyCLK
0 The counter starts, stops and resets asynchronously

Bits 5:4 – START[1:0]: Counter Start Condition Select(3,4)

Counter Start Condition Select(3,4)

ValueDescription
11 Timer counter starts when ERS = 1
10 Timer counter starts at rising edge of ERS
01 Timer counter starts at either edge of ERS
00 No start due to ERS, timer runs when ON = 1

Bits 3:2 – RESET[1:0]: Counter Reset Condition Select(4,5,6,7,8)

Counter Reset Condition Select(4,5,6,7,8)

ValueDescription
11 Timer counter resets at PR match i.e., when counter equals PR; Next clock brings counter to zero
10 Timer counter resets at the first clock when starting and/or also at PR match
01 Timer counter resets when ERS = 0 and/or also at PR match
00 No hardware Reset

Bits 1:0 – STOP[1:0]: Counter Stop Condition Select(4,8,9,10,11)

Counter Stop Condition Select(4,8,9,10,11)

The Stop feature has effect only when the counter is actively running. Once stopped, additional Stop events will not invoke capture or interrupt.
ValueDescription
11 Timer stops counting at PR match i.e., when counter equals PR; current counter value is captured in TUxyCR
10 Timer stops counting at rising edge of ERS; current counter value is captured in TUxyCR
01 Timer stops counting at either edge of ERS; current counter value is captured in TUxyCR
00 ERS or PR match do not stop the timer; software must clear ON to stop the timer; current counter value is captured in TUxyCR at every rising edge of ERS
