21.2.4 Timer B Clock Output Mode
Timer B can be configured to drive a clock output on the TBA pin as shown in Figure 21-4. For the timer to operate in
this mode, the capture/reload select bit (CP/RLB = TBnCN.0) and the counter/timer select bit (C/TB = TBnCN.15) must
be cleared to 0, and the Timer B output-enable bit (TBOE = TBnCN.5) ) must be set to 1. In this mode, the DCEN bit
has no effect. The clock signal output is a 50% duty-cycle square wave with a frequency given by the equation:
Clock Output Frequency = System Clock/(2 x TBnR)
Therefore, for a system clock of 1MHz and a TBnR register value of 0005h (arbitrary example), the clock output fre-
quency is 100kHz.
21.2.5 Timer B PWM/Output Control Functionality
The PWM/output control function is enabled whenever either of the TCBS or TBCR bits (TBnCN[12:11]) is set to 1. Table
21-4 shows how these bits determine the specific operation.
