Chapter 7 Timer/Counter Units

2. If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 0, 1), the output level on the TOn (n = 0, 1) pin is the inverted value of the value set

in ALVn (n = 0, 1). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the PWM output function is selected, the active level
is output.

7.1.8 PPG Output

The PPG output function outputs a square wave that has a period determined by the CR01 compare register, and
has a pulse width determined by the CR00 compare register. PPG output is PWM output whose period is made
variable. This output signal can be output on the TO0 pin only.

Before this function can be used, the CLR01 bit of capture/compare control register 0 (CRC0) must be set to 1.

The pulse period and pulse width are as follows:

• PPG period = ((value set in CR01 compare register) + 1)

× 8/f

CLK

• PPG pulse width = ((value set in CR00 compare register)

× 8 + 2)/f

CLK

(value set in CR00)

× 8/f

CLK

where, CR00

≤ CR01

• Duty factor = (PPG pulse width)/(PPG period) = ((value set in CR00)

× 8 + 2)/(((value set in CR01) + 1) × 8) (value

set in CR00)/((value set in CR01) + 1)

Caution In PPG output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by two clock pulses of f

CLK

for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses of f

CLK

for the inactive level. Take this point

into consideration when high-precision output is required or the PPG pulse period is short.

Fig. 7-18 shows an example of PPG output using 16-bit timer 0. Fig. 7-19 shows an example of PPG output when
CR00 = CR01. Fig. 7-20 shows an example of PPG output when CR00 = 0000H.
