General-purpose timers can be used to
count or time external events that drive the timer-input pins.
The general-purpose timer module
(LGPT) contains up to four LGPT blocks with the following functional options. To
determine which timers support which functions see the device specific data
sheet:
- 16-bit or 24-bit bit counter
width
- 3 Capture/Compare channels
per timer
- One-shot or periodic
counting
- Time counting between edges
and edge counting
- Input filter on each of the
channels for all timers
- 15 different channel
Capture/Compare actions
- PWM Generation with
programmable dead-band insertion and park on fault mode
- IR Signal generation
- Quadrature decoding
(QDEC)
- Timer synchronization and
chaining
- Efficient transfers using the
μDMA controller
