EVENT PROCESSOR ARRAY (EPA)
Figure 11-6. EPA Simplified Input-capture Structure
If a third event occurs before the CPU reads the event-time register, the overwrite bit
(EPAx_CON.0) determines how the EPA will handle the event. If the bit is clear, the EPA ignores
the third event. If the bit is set, the third event time overwrites the second event time in the capture
buffer. Table 11-5 summarizes the possible actions when a valid event occurs.

NOTE
In order for an event to be captured, the signal must be stable for at least two
state times both before and after the transition occurs (Figure 11-7).
