24.0 Versatile Timer Unit (VTU)
The VTU contains four fully independent 16-bit timer sub-
systems. Each timer subsystem can operate either as dual
8-bit PWM timers, as a single 16-bit PWM timer, or as a 16-
bit counter with 2 input capture channels. These timer sub-
systems offers an 8-bit clock prescaler to accommodate a
wide range of system frequencies.
The VTU offers the following features:
T The VTU can be configured to provide:

— Eight fully independent 8-bit PWM channels
— Four fully independent 16-bit PWM channels
— Eight 16-bit input capture channels
which contains:
— A 16-bit counter
— Two 16-bit capture / compare registers
— An 8-bit fully programmable clock prescaler
lowing modes:
— Low power mode, i.e. all clocks are stopped
— Dual 8-bit PWM mode
— 16-bit PWM mode
— Dual 16-bit input capture mode

The VTU is comprised of four timer subsystems. Each timer
subsystem contains an 8-bit clock prescaler, a 16-bit up-
counter, and two 16-bit registers. Each timer subsystem
controls two I/O pins which either function as PWM outputs
or capture inputs depending on the mode of operation.
There are four system-level interrupt requests, one for each
timer subsystem. Each system-level interrupt request is
controlled by four interrupt pending bits with associated en-
able/disable bits. All four timer subsystems are fully inde-
pendent, and each may operate as a dual 8-bit PWM timer,
a 16-bit PWM timer, or as a dual 16-bit capture timer.
Figure 92 shows the main elements of the VTU.
can function as either:
— PWM output with programmable output polarity
— Capture input with programmable event detection and
— Four separate system level interrupt requests
