Functional Description
20.3 Functional Description
Figure 20-1
shows the TIMB structure. The central component of the TIMB is the 16-bit TIMB counter that
can operate as a free-running counter or a modulo up-counter. The TIMB counter provides the timing
reference for the input capture and output compare functions. The TIMB counter modulo registers,
TBMODH–TBMODL, control the modulo value of the TIMB counter. Software can read the TIMB counter
value at any time without affecting the counting sequence.
The two TIMB channels are programmable independently as input capture or output compare channels.
20.3.1 TIMB Counter Prescaler
The TIMB clock source can be one of the seven prescaler outputs or the TIMB clock pin,
PTD4/ATD12/TBCLK. The prescaler generates seven clock rates from the internal bus clock. The
prescaler select bits, PS[2:0], in the TIMB status and control register select the TIMB clock source.
20.3.2 Input Capture
An input capture function has three basic parts: edge select logic, an input capture latch and a 16-bit
counter. Two 8-bit registers, which make up the 16-bit input capture register, are used to latch the value
of the free-running counter after the corresponding input capture edge detector senses a defined
transition. The polarity of the active edge is programmable. The level transition which triggers the counter
transfer is defined by the corresponding input edge bits (ELSxB and ELSxA in TBSC0 through TBSC1
control registers with x referring to the active channel number). When an active edge occurs on the pin of
an input capture channel, the TIMB latches the contents of the TIMB counter into the TIMB channel
registers, TBCHxH–TBCHxL. Input captures can generate TIMB CPU interrupt requests. Software can
determine that an input capture event has occurred by enabling input capture interrupts or by polling the
status flag bit.
The free-running counter contents are transferred to the TIMB channel register (TBCHxH–TBCHxL, see
20.8.5 TIMB Channel
Registers) on each proper signal transition regardless of whether the TIMB channel
flag (CH0F–CH1F in TBSC0–TBSC1 registers) is set or clear. When the status flag is set, a CPU interrupt
is generated if enabled. The value of the count latched or “captured” is the time of the event. Because this
value is stored in the input capture register 2 bus cycles after the actual event occurs, user software can
respond to this event at a later time and determine the actual time of the event. However, this must be
done prior to another input capture on the same pin; otherwise, the previous time value will be lost.
By recording the times for successive edges on an incoming signal, software can determine the period
and/or pulse width of the signal. To measure a period, two successive edges of the same polarity are
captured. To measure a pulse width, two alternate polarity edges are captured. Software should track the
overflows at the 16-bit module counter to extend its range.
Another use for the input capture function is to establish a time reference. In this case, an input capture
function is used in conjunction with an output compare function. For example, to activate an output signal
a specified number of clock cycles after detecting an input event (edge), use the input capture function to
record the time at which the edge occurred. A number corresponding to the desired delay is added to this
captured value and stored to an output compare register (see
20.8.5 TIMB Channel
Registers). Because
both input captures and output compares are referenced to the same 16-bit modulo counter, the delay
can be controlled to the resolution of the counter independent of software latencies.
Reset does not affect the contents of the input capture channel register (TBCHxH–TBCHxL).
