CONFIG TCB0-TCB1

Top  Previous  Next

Action

This configuration statement configures timer TCB0/TCB1 found in the XTINY.

 

 

Syntax

CONFIG TCB0|TCB1=mode, RUN=run, RUNMODE=runmode , SYNCUPDATE=syncupdate, ASYNC=async, CCMP_INIT=ccmp_init, CCMP_OTP=ccmp_otp, FILTER=filter, EDGE=edge, CAPT_EVENT=ecapt_event, CAPT_INT=capt_int

 

 

Remarks

At the moment of writing, all XTINY processors have one TIMER TCB0. Some processors have 2 TCB timers like the tiny3216.

The second TCB timer is named TCB1.

The TCB is is a 16 bit timer with the following capabilities :

 

• 16-Bit Counter Operation Modes:

– Periodic interrupt

– Time-out check

– Input capture

• On event

• Frequency measurement

• Pulse-width measurement

• Frequency and pulse-width measurement

– Single shot

– 8-bit Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)

• Noise Canceler on Event Input

• Optional: Operation Synchronous with TCA0

 

You best read that before you use the timer.

After reading the data sheet the following options will make more sense.

 

mode

This options sets the Timer mode. Possible values :

 

- PERIODIC_INT : Periodic interrupt

- TIME_OUT_CHECK : time out check

- INP_CAP_EVENT : input capture event

- INP_CAP_FREQ : input capture frequency

- INP_CAP_PWM : input capture pulse with measurement

- INP_CAP_FREQ_PWM : input capture frequency width measurement

- SINGLE_SHOT : single shot

- PWM : 8 bit PWM

 

- A value between 0-7 will load the mode. See table 2.

PRESCALE or CLOCKSEL

The pre scaler can divide the system clock that is applied to the timer. The pre scaler will only divide the system clock. Possible values :

- 1 , 2

- TCA0 : uses CLK_TCA from timer TCA0

- OFF, timer is disabled

RUN

This enables or disables the timer. Possible values :

ON : timer will run

OFF : timer will stop

RUNMODE

Run in standby mode.

ENABLED : the timer runs in standby sleep mode.

              Except when PRESCALE is set to TCA0.

DISABLED : timer is stopped in standby sleep mode.

SYNCUPDATE

 

Synchronize Update.

ENABLED : TCB will restart whenever the TCA0 counter is restarted or overflows. This can be used to synchronize capture with the PWM period

DISABLED : no sync

ASYNC

Asynchronous Enabling.

ENABLED : asynchronous updates of the TCB signal in single shot mode

The output will go HIGH when an event arrives

DISABLED : The output will go HIGH when the counter starts after synchronization.

CCMP_INIT

Compare/Capture PIN initial value. This setting is used to set the initial output value of the pin when an pin output is used. This bit has no effect in 8 bit PWM and single shot mode.

LOW : initial pin state is low

HIGH : initial pin state is high

CCMP_OTP

Compare/Capture output enable. This option is used to set the output value of the compare/capture output

DISABLED : Compare/capture output is zero.

ENABLED : Compare/capture output has a valid value

FILTER

Filter capture noise cancellation filter.

ENABLED : the input capture noise cancellation unit is enabled

DISABLED : input capture noise cancellation unit is disabled.

EDGE

Event Edge. This selects the  event edge. The effect of this depends on the selected count mode.

CAPT_EVENT

Capture Event input enable.

ENABLED : event input capture is enabled.

DISABLED : event input capture is disabled

CAPT_INT

All interrupts can be enabled/disabled using the ENABLE/DISABLE statements.

The Capture interrupt enable can be enabled/disabled using the configuration parameter.

ENABLED : capture interrupt is enabled

DISABLED : capture interrupt is disabled
