Timer_A Operation
12-16 Timer_A
Output ExampleTimer in Up/Down Mode
The OUTx signal changes when the timer equals TACCRx in either count
direction and when the timer equals TACCR0, depending on the output mode.
An example is shown in Figure 1214 using TACCR0 and TACCR2.

Note: Switching Between Output Modes
When switching between output modes, one of the OUTMODx bits should
remain set during the transition, unless switching to mode 0. Otherwise,
output glitching can occur because a NOR gate decodes output mode 0. A
safe method for switching between output modes is to use output mode 7 as
a transition state:
BIS #OUTMOD_7,&TACCTLx ; Set output mode=7
BIC #OUTMODx,&TACCTLx ; Clear unwanted bits
