27.2 VTU REGISTERS
The VTU contains a total of 19 user accessible registers, as
listed in Table 81. All registers are word-wide and are initial-
ized to a known value upon reset. All software accesses to
the VTU registers must be word accesses.
27.2.1 Mode Control Register (MODE)
The MODE register is a word-wide read/write register which
controls the mode selection of all four timer subsystems.
The register is clear after reset.
TxRUN The Timer Run bit controls whether the corre-
sponding timer is stopped or running. If set,
the associated counter and clock prescaler is
started depending on the mode of operation.
Once set, the clock to the clock prescaler and
the counter are enabled and the counter will
increment each time the clock prescaler
counter value matches the value defined in
the associated clock prescaler field (CxPR-
SC).
0 – Timer stopped.
1 – Timer running.
TMODx The Timer System Operating Mode field en-
ables or disables the Timer Subsystem and
defines its operating mode.
00 – Low-Power Mode. All clocks to the
counter subsystem are stopped. The
counter is stopped regardless of the val-
ue of the TxRUN bits. Read operations
to the Timer Subsystem will return the
last value; software must not perform
any write operations to the Timer Sub-
system while it is disabled since those
will be ignored.
01 – Dual 8-bit PWM mode. Each 8-bit
counter may individually be started or
stopped via its associated TxRUN bit.
The TIOx pins will function as PWM out-
puts.
10 – 16-bit PWM mode. The two 8-bit
counters are concatenated to form a sin-
gle 16-bit counter. The counter may be
started or stopped with the lower of the
two TxRUN bits, i.e. T1RUN, T3RUN,
T5RUN, and T7RUN. The TIOx pins will
function as PWM outputs.
11 – Capture Mode. Both 8-bit counters are
concatenated and operate as a single
16-bit counter. The counter may be start-
ed or stopped with the lower of the two
TxRUN bits, i.e., T1RUN, T3RUN,
T5RUN, and T7RUN. The TIOx pins will
function as capture inputs.
