In down counting mode (CM = 0) when TIMx.CTRCTL.CVAE = 0, the TIMx.LOAD value is loaded into TIMx.CTR. Then TIMx counts from the LOAD value down to zero. When the TIMx.CTR value equals zero and TIMx.CTRCTL.REPEAT is set to 1 (periodic mode), the TIMx.LOAD value is once again loaded into TIMx.CTR and the timer repeats the down counting pattern as shown in Down Counting Mode, CVAE = 0.
A zero event is generated when TIMx counts to zero. A load event is generated when TIMx counts from zero to the TIMx.LOAD value. Down Counting Mode Event Generation shows the event generating cycle.
