| //! \section sec_timer Introduction |
| //! |
| //! The timer API provides a set of functions for using the general-purpose timer module. |
| //! |
| //! The timer module contains four timer blocks with the following functional options: |
| //! - Operating modes: |
| //! - 16-bit with 8-bit prescaler or 32-bit programmable one-shot timer. |
| //! - 16-bit with 8-bit prescaler or 32-bit programmable periodic timer. |
| //! - Two capture compare PWM pins (CCP) for each 32-bit timer. |
| //! - 24-bit input-edge count or 24-bit time-capture modes. |
| //! - 24-bit PWM mode with software-programmable output inversion of the PWM signal. |
| //! - Count up or down. |
| //! - Daisy chaining of timer modules allows a single timer to initiate multiple timing events. |
| //! - Timer synchronization allows selected timers to start counting on the same clock cycle. |
| //! - User-enabled stalling when the System CPU asserts a CPU Halt flag during debug. |
| //! - Ability to determine the elapsed time between the assertion of the timer interrupt and |
| //! entry into the interrupt service routine. |
| //! |
| //! Each timer block provides two half-width timers/counters that can be configured |
| //! to operate independently as timers or event counters or to operate as a combined |
| //! full-width timer. |
| //! The timers provide 16-bit half-width timers and a 32-bit full-width timer. |
| //! For the purposes of this API, the two |
| //! half-width timers provided by a timer block are referred to as TimerA and |
| //! TimerB, and the full-width timer is referred to as TimerA. |
| //! |
| //! When in half-width mode, the timer can also be configured for event capture or |
| //! as a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator. When configured for event |
| //! capture, the timer acts as a counter. It can be configured to count either the |
| //! time between events or the events themselves. The type of event |
| //! being counted can be configured as a positive edge, a negative edge, or both |
| //! edges. When a timer is configured as a PWM generator, the input signal used to |
| //! capture events becomes an output signal, and the timer drives an |
| //! edge-aligned pulse onto that signal. |
| //! |
| //! Control is also provided over interrupt sources and events. Interrupts can be |
| //! generated to indicate that an event has been captured, or that a certain number |
| //! of events have been captured. Interrupts can also be generated when the timer |
| //! has counted down to 0 or when the timer matches a certain value. |
| //! |
| //! Timer configuration is handled by \ref TimerConfigure(), which performs the high |
| //! level setup of the timer module; that is, it is used to set up full- or |
| //! half-width modes, and to select between PWM, capture, and timer operations. |
| //! |
| //! \section sec_timer_api API |
| //! |
| //! The API functions can be grouped like this: |
| //! |
| //! Functions to perform timer control: |
| //! - \ref TimerConfigure() |
| //! - \ref TimerEnable() |
| //! - \ref TimerDisable() |
| //! - \ref TimerLevelControl() |
| //! - \ref TimerWaitOnTriggerControl() |
| //! - \ref TimerEventControl() |
| //! - \ref TimerStallControl() |
| //! - \ref TimerIntervalLoadMode() |
| //! - \ref TimerMatchUpdateMode() |
| //! - \ref TimerCcpCombineDisable() |
| //! - \ref TimerCcpCombineEnable() |
| //! |
| //! Functions to manage timer content: |
| //! - \ref TimerLoadSet() |
| //! - \ref TimerLoadGet() |
| //! - \ref TimerPrescaleSet() |
| //! - \ref TimerPrescaleGet() |
| //! - \ref TimerMatchSet() |
| //! - \ref TimerMatchGet() |
| //! - \ref TimerPrescaleMatchSet() |
| //! - \ref TimerPrescaleMatchGet() |
| //! - \ref TimerValueGet() |
| //! - \ref TimerSynchronize() |
| //! |
| //! Functions to manage the interrupt handler for the timer interrupt: |
| //! - \ref TimerIntRegister() |
| //! - \ref TimerIntUnregister() |
| //! |
| //! The individual interrupt sources within the timer module are managed with: |
| //! - \ref TimerIntEnable() |
| //! - \ref TimerIntDisable() |
| //! - \ref TimerIntStatus() |
| //! - \ref TimerIntClear() |
| //! |
