11.5 The Output Unit

Each capture/compare block contains an output unit shown in Figure 11–22.
The output unit is used to generate output signals such as PWM signals. Each
output unit has 8 operating modes that can generate a variety of signals based
on the EQU0 and EQUx signals. The output mode is selected with the OMx
bits located in the CCTLx register.
