Timer Interface Module B (TIMB)
12.4.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Technical Data
234
NOTE:
routine to write a new, smaller pulse width value can cause the compare
to be missed. The TIMB may pass the new value before it is written.
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the
PWM pulse width on channel x:
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle
on output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0%
duty cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-
correct in the event of software error or noise. Toggling on output
compare also can cause incorrect PWM signal generation when
changing the PWM pulse width to a new, much larger value.
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose
output appears on the PTE4/TCH0B pin. The TIMB channel registers of
the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIMB channel 0 status and control register
(TBSC0) links channel 0 and channel 1. The TIMB channel 0 registers
initially control the pulse width on the PTE4/TCH0B pin. Writing to the
TIMB channel 1 registers enables the TIMB channel 1 registers to
synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning of the next PWM
period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIMB channel registers (0 or
1) that control the pulse width are the ones written to last. TBSC0
controls and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIMB channel 1

When changing to a shorter pulse width, enable channel x output
compare interrupts and write the new value in the output compare
interrupt routine. The output compare interrupt occurs at the end
of the current pulse. The interrupt routine has until the end of the
PWM period to write the new value.
When changing to a longer pulse width, enable channel x TIMB
overflow interrupts and write the new value in the TIMB overflow
interrupt routine. The TIMB overflow interrupt occurs at the end of
the current PWM period. Writing a larger value in an output
compare interrupt routine (at the end of the current pulse) could
cause two output compares to occur in the same PWM period.
