Capture Initiated by Software
Captures can be initiated by software. The CMx bits can be set for capture on
both edges. Software then sets bit CCIS1=1 and toggles bit CCIS0 to switch
the capture signal between V
CC
and GND, initiating a capture each time
CCIS0 changes state:
MOV #CAP+SCS+CCIS1+CM_3,&TBCCTLx ; Setup TBCCTLx
XOR #CCIS0,&TBCCTLx ; TBCCTLx = TBR
Compare Mode
The compare mode is selected when CAP = 0. Compare mode is used to
generate PWM output signals or interrupts at specific time intervals. When
TBR counts to the value in a TBCLx:
- Interrupt flag CCIFG is set
- Internal signal EQUx = 1
- EQUx affects the output according to the output mode
