The ZNEO Z16F Series contains three 16-bit reloadable timers used for timing, event
counting, or generation of pulse width modulated (PWM) signals.
Features
The timers include the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Capture and compare capability measures the velocity from a tachometer wheel or reads
sensor outputs for rotor position for brushless DC motor commutation.
