Chapter 12 Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM8B6CV1) Block Description
12.3.2.12 PWM Channel Counter Registers (PWMCNTx)
Each channel has a dedicated 8-bit up/down counter which runs at the rate of the selected clock source.
The counter can be read at any time without affecting the count or the operation of the PWM channel. In
left aligned output mode, the counter counts from 0 to the value in the period register – 1. In center aligned
output mode, the counter counts from 0 up to the value in the period register and then back down to 0.
Any value written to the counter causes the counter to reset to 0x0000, the counter direction to be set to
up, the immediate load of both duty and period registers with values from the buffers, and the output to
change according to the polarity bit. The counter is also cleared at the end of the effective period (see
Section 12.4.2.5, “Left Aligned Outputs,”
details). When the channel is disabled (PWMEx = 0), the PWMCNTx register does not count. When a
channel becomes enabled (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM counter starts at the count in the
PWMCNTx register. For more detailed information on the operation of the counters, reference
Section 12.4.2.4, “PWM Timer Counters.”
In concatenated mode, writes to the 16-bit counter by using a 16-bit access or writes to either the low- or
high-order byte of the counter will reset the 16-bit counter. Reads of the 16-bit counter must be made by
16-bit access to maintain data coherency.

Writing to the counter while the channel is enabled can cause an irregular
PWM cycle to occur.
