1: Compare output is set to DIR when TCC counter matches CCx value.
z
Bits 15:12 – Reserved
These bits are unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always write these bits to 
zero when this register is written. These bits will always return zero when read.
z
Bits 11:8 – CICCENx [x=3..0]: Circular Channel x Enable
Setting these bits enable the compare circular buffer option on channel. When the bit is set, CCx register value is 
copied-back into the CCx register on UPDATE condition.
z
Bit 7 – CIPEREN: Circular period Enable
Setting these bits enable the period circular buffer option. When the bit field is set, the PER register value is cop-
ied-back into the PERB register on UPDATE condition.
z
Bit 6 – Reserved
This bit is unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero 
when this register is written. This bit will always return zero when read.
z
Bits 5:4 – RAMP[1:0]: Ramp Mode
These bits select Ramp operation (RAMP), as shown in the table below. These bits are not synchronized.

z
Bit 3 – Reserved
This bit is unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always write this bit to zero 
when this register is written. This bit will always return zero when read.
z
Bits 2:0 – WAVEGEN[2:0]: Waveform Generation
These bits select the waveform generation operation, as shown in the table below. The settings impact the top 
value and select the frequency/PWM mode. These bits are not synchronized.
