Timer/Counter4 is a general purpose high speed Timer/Counter module, with three independent
Output Compare Units, and with enhanced PWM support.
The Timer/Counter4 features a high resolution and a high accuracy usage with the lower pres-
caling opportunities. It can also support three accurate and high speed Pulse Width Modulators
using clock speeds up to 64 MHz. In PWM mode Timer/Counter4 and the output compare regis-
ters serve as triple stand-alone PWMs with non-overlapping, non-inverted and inverted outputs.
The enhanced PWM mode allows to get one more accuracy bit while keeping the frequency
identical to normal mode (a PWM 8 bits accuracy in enhanced mode outputs the same fre-
quency that a PWM 7 bits accuracy in normal mode). Similarly, the high prescaling opportunities
make this unit useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions with infrequent actions.
A lock feature allows user to update the PWM registers and
