CounterA and CounterB are 8-bit counters and can be combined to form a 16-bit counter. CounterC and CounterD
exhibit the same features.
The counters can also be used to generate two PWM outputs on PB[0] and PB[1]. In PWM mode one can generate
PWM functions with 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 bit wide counters.
The counters A and B can be captured by events on an internal or an external signal. The capture can be
performed on both 8-bit counters running individually on two different clock sources or on both counters chained to
form a 16-bit counter. In any case, the same capture signal is used for both counters.
When the counters A and B are not chained, they can be used in several configurations: A and B as counters, A
and B as captured counters, A as PWM and B as counter, A as PWM and B as captured counter.
When the counters C and D are not chained, they can be used either both as counters or counter C as PWM and
counter D as counter.
Note: When writing to RegCntA or RegCntB, the processor writes the counter comparison values. When reading
these locations, the processor reads back either the actual counter value or the last captured value if the capture
mode is active.
