Registers

The XTCVR register input is linked to several sources:

●

XTSVR register (start value) for reload when the period is finished, or for load when

the timer is starting.

●

Incrementer output when the ’up’ mode is selected,

●

Decrementer output when the ’down’ mode is selected.

●

The selection between the sources is made through the XTCR control register.

When starting the timer, by setting TEN bit of TCR to ’1’, XTCVR will be loaded with XTSVR

value on the first rising edge of the counting clock. That’s to say that for counting from 0000h

to 0009h for example, 10 counting clock rising edges are required.

The XTCVR register output is continuously compared to the XTEVR register to detect the

end of the counting period. When the registers are equal, several actions are made

depending on the XTCR control register content :

●

The output XADCINJ is conditionally generated,

●

XTCVR is loaded with XTSVR or stops or continues to count (see Table ).

XTEVR, XTSVR and all TCR bits except TEN must not be modified while the timer is

counting, ie while TEN bit of TCR = ’1’. The timer behaviour is not guaranteed if this rule is

not respected. It implies that the timer can be configured only when stopped (TEN = ’0’).

When programming the timer, XTEVR, XTSVR and XTCR bits except TEN can be modified,

with TEN = ’0’; then the timer is started by modifying only TEN bit of TCR. To stop the timer,

only TEN bit should be modified, from ’1’ to ’0’.

Timer output (XADCINJ)

The XADCINJ output is the result of the (XTCVR = XTEVR) flag after differentiation. The

duration of the output lasts two cycles (50ns at 40MHz).
