Stop_Cont

Stop Continuous—Applies to multiple modes, as follows:

0 = Stop

1 = Continuous

•

IC  mode

Stop operation—At each IC event, counter is reset.

Continuous operation—counter is not reset at each IC event.

Effect is to create Status count values that are cumulative between Capture events. If the 
special Pulse Mode Capture type is specified, the Stop_Cont bit is not used, operation 
fixed as if it were Stop.

•

OC  mode

Stop operation—Counter resets and stops at first OC event. Note: Software needs to pass 
through Timer_MS=000 state to restart timer.

Continuous operation—counter resets and continues at each OC event.

Effect to is create back-to-back periodic OC events.

—In this mode the polarity of Stop_cont is reversed. Also, in Stop Mode, the 

output event falsely retriggers at the expiration of the prescale count.

This means the software has to service and output event prior to the prescale expiring. 
Service is defined as programming mode_sel field to 0, which causes the programmed 
prescale and count values to be reset.

•

PWM  mode

Bit not used, operation is always Continuous.

•

CPU Timer mode

Stop operation—On counter expiration, Timer waits until Status bit is cleared by passing 
through Timer_MS=000 state before beginning a new cycle. 

Continuous operation—On counter expiration, Timer resets and immediately begin a new 
cycle. 

Effect is to generate fixed periodic timeouts.

•

WatchDog Timer and GPIO modes

Bit not used.

22

Open_Drn

Open Drain

0 = Normal I/O

1 = Open Drain emulation—affects all modes that drive the I/O pin (GPIO, OC, & PWM). 
Any output “1” is converted to a tri-state at the I/O pin.

23

IntEn

Enable interrupt—enables interrupt generation to the CPU for all modes (IC, OC, PWM, and 
Internal Timer). IntEn is not required for watchdog expiration to create a reset. 1 = enabled

GPIO

GPIO mode type. Simple GPIO functionality that can be used simultaneously with the Internal 
Timer mode. It is not compatible with IC, OC, or PWM modes, since these modes dictate the 
usage of the I/O pin.

0x=Timer enabled as simple GPIO input

10=Timer enabled as simple GPIO output, value=0

11=Timer enabled as simple GPIO output, value=1 (tri-state if Open_Drn=1)

While in GPIO modes, internal timer mode is also available. To prevent undesired timer 
expiration, keep the CE bit low.
