Input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM functions do not make sense when the counter is 
operating in up/down counting mode so this implies that all active channels within a TPM must be used in 
CPWM mode when CPWMS=1.
The TPM may be used in an 8-bit MCU. The settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to ensure 
coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to any of the registers 
TPMxMODH, TPMxMODL, TPMxCnVH, and TPMxCnVL, actually write to buffer registers. 
In center-aligned PWM mode, the TPMxCnVH:L registers are updated with the value of their write buffer 
according to the value of CLKSB:CLKSA bits, so:
If (CLKSB:CLKSA = 0:0), the registers are updated when the second byte is written
If (CLKSB:CLKSA not = 0:0), the registers are updated after the both bytes were written, and the 
TPM counter changes from (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL - 1) to (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL). If 
the TPM counter is a free-running counter, the update is made when the TPM counter changes from 
0xFFFE to 0xFFFF.
When TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL=TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, the TPM can optionally generate a TOF 
interrupt (at the end of this count).
Writing to TPMxSC cancels any values written to TPMxMODH and/or TPMxMODL and resets the 
coherency mechanism for the modulo registers. Writing to TPMxCnSC cancels any values written to the 
channel value registers and resets the coherency mechanism for TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL.

Reset Overview
16.5.1
General
The TPM is reset whenever any MCU reset occurs. 
16.5.2
Description of Reset Operation
Reset clears the TPMxSC register which disables clocks to the TPM and disables timer overflow interrupts 
(TOIE=0). CPWMS, MSnB, MSnA, ELSnB, and ELSnA are all cleared which configures all TPM 
channels for input-capture operation with the associated pins disconnected from I/O pin logic (so all MCU 
pins related to the TPM revert to general purpose I/O pins). 
16.6
Interrupts
16.6.1
General
The TPM generates an optional interrupt for the main counter overflow and an interrupt for each channel. 
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on each channel’s mode of operation. If the channel is 
configured for input capture, the interrupt flag is set each time the selected input capture edge is 
recognized. If the channel is configured for output compare or PWM modes, the interrupt flag is set each 
time the main timer counter matches the value in the 16-bit channel value register.
