I/O Registers
Setting MS0B disables the channel 1 status and control register and reverts TCH1 to general-purpose
I/O.
Reset clears the MSxB bit.
1 = Buffered output compare/PWM operation enabled
0 = Buffered output compare/PWM operation disabled
MSxA — Mode Select Bit A
When ELSxB:ELSxA ≠ 0:0, this read/write bit selects either input capture operation or unbuffered
output compare/PWM operation.
See Table 9-3.
1 = Unbuffered output compare/PWM operation
0 = Input capture operation
When ELSxB:ELSxA = 0:0, this read/write bit selects the initial output level of the TCHx pin. See
Table 9-3. Reset clears the MSxA bit.
1 = Initial output level low
0 = Initial output level high
NOTE
Before changing a channel function by writing to the MSxB or MSxA bit, set
the TSTOP and TRST bits in the TIM status and control register (TSC).
ELSxB and ELSxA — Edge/Level Select Bits
When channel x is an input capture channel, these read/write bits control the active edge-sensing logic
on channel x.
When channel x is an output compare channel, ELSxB and ELSxA control the channel x output
behavior when an output compare occurs.
When ELSxB and ELSxA are both clear, channel x is not connected to an I/O port, and pin TCHx is
available as a general-purpose I/O pin. Table 9-3 shows how ELSxB and ELSxA work. Reset clears
the ELSxB and ELSxA bits.
