clock signal can be taken from either the DSP56366 clock divided by two (CLK/2) or from the prescaler
clock output. Each subsequent clock signal increments the counter.
At the first appropriate transition of the external clock detected on the TIO0 signal, the TCF bit in the
TCSR is set and, if the TCIE bit is set, a compare interrupt is generated. The counter halts. The contents
of the counter are loaded into the TCR. The value of the TCR represents the delay between the setting of
the TE bit and the detection of the first clock edge signal on the TIO0 signal.
If the INV bit is set, a high-to-low transition signals the end of the timing period. If INV is cleared, a
low-to-high transition signals the end of the timing period.
If the counter overflows, the TOF bit is set, and if TOIE is set, an overflow interrupt is generated.
The counter contents can be read at any time by reading the TCR.
11.4.3 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM, Mode 7)
In this mode, the timer generates periodic pulses of a preset width. This function is available only on
timer 0.
Set the TE bit to clear the counter and enable the timer. The value the timer is to count is loaded into the
TPCR. When first timer clock is received from either the DSP56366 internal clock divided by two (CLK/2)
or the prescaler clock output, the counter is loaded with the TLR value. Each subsequent timer clock
increments the counter.
When the counter equals the value in the TCPR, the TIO0 output pin is toggled and the TCF bit in the
TCSR is set. The contents of the counter are placed into the TCR. If the TCIE bit is set, a compare interrupt
is generated. The counter continues to be incremented on each timer clock.
If counter overflow has occurred, the TIO0 output pin is toggled, the TOF bit in TCSR is set, and an
overflow interrupt is generated if the TOIE bit is set. If the TRM bit is set, the counter is loaded with the
TLR value on the next timer clock and the count is resumed. If the TRM bit is cleared, the counter
continues to be incremented on each timer clock.
This process is repeated until the timer is disabled by clearing the TE bit.
TIO0 signal polarity is determined by the value of the INV bit. When the counter is started by setting the
TE bit, the TIO0 signal assumes the value of the INV bit. On each subsequent toggling of the TIO0 signal,
the polarity of the TIO0 signal is reversed. For example, if the INV bit is set, the TIO0 signal generates the
following signal: 1010. If the INV bit is cleared, the TIO0 signal generates the following signal: 0101.
The counter contents can be read at any time by reading the TCR.
The value of the TLR determines the output period ($FFFFFF − TLR + 1). The timer counter increments
the initial TLR value and toggles the TIO0 signal when the counter value exceeds $FFFFFF.
