8.5 PWM0 MODE
8.5.1 OVERVIEW
PWM function is generated by TC0 timer counter and output the PWM signal to PWM0OUT pin (P5.4). The 8-bit
counter counts modulus 256, 64, 32, 16 controlled by ALOAD0, TC0OUT bits. The value of the 8-bit counter (TC0C) is
compared to the contents of the reference register (TC0R). When the reference register value (TC0R) is equal to the
counter value (TC0C), the PWM output goes low. When the counter reaches zero, the PWM output is forced high. The
low-to-high ratio (duty) of the PWM0 output is TC0R/256, 64, 32, 16.
PWM output can be held at low level by continuously loading the reference register with 00H. Under PWM operating, to
change the PWM’s duty cycle is to modify the TC0R.
Note: TC0 is double buffer design. Modifying TC0R to change PWM duty by program, there is no glitch
and error duty signal in PWM output waveform. Users can change TC0R any time, and the new reload
value is loaded to TC0R buffer at TC0 overflow.
