Extending the range of the 16-bit counter with an 8-bit software counter Software keeps track of counter overflows Creates a 24-bit counter (16-bit + 8-bit) Time values are stored as 3-byte numbers Measuring Long Periods Using Counter Overflow
Each of the eight I/O pins of Port T may be used as either an input capture or an output compare If IOSX is 0, the corresponding channel acts as an input capture If IOSX is 1, the corresponding channel acts as an output compare Input Capture Vs. Output Compare
Used to record time event occurs When input signal is received by input capture channel Contents of free-running counter is transferred to 16-bit register corresponding to that input capture channel Input Capture Concept
16-bit registers Input edge-detection logic Interrupt generation logic Features of Input Capture Function
Eight 16-bit input capture registers are available Each register has a corresponding timer input pin (TC0-TC7) located on Port T pins PT0-PT7 When edge is detected at timer input pin, current value of free-running counter is stored in corresponding input capture register Input Capture Registers
Can be read at any time as a pair of 8-bit registers using instructions like LDD or LDX Writing to register when used as Input Capture has no meaning Input Capture Registers (cont’d) Bit 15 - - - - - - Bit 8 $0050 TC0 $0051 Bit 7 - - - - - - Bit 0 … Bit 15 - - - - - - Bit 8 $005E TC7 $005F Bit 7 - - - - - - Bit 0

Can be used as time reference for output function. Input capture records event time Offset representing time delay is added to input capture and stored to output compare. Both input captures and output compares are referenced from same counter, so software latencies do not affect accuracy to time delay Application of Input Captures (cont’)
Can be used as general purpose I/O pins when the timer functions are not needed Logic levels can be read even if input-capture function is enabled Can serve as flexible interrupt input pins Have some advantages over IRQ pin Other Uses of Input Capture Pins
Output Compare: Basic Concept • • 8 Output Compare Registers to store numbers: • Each is 16-Bit Register • • 8 comparators-one for each channel • Comparator checks Number against Free Running Counter (TCNT Register) • This is done in hardware, no processor time used • •When Counter matches TCx Register, it triggers an event
What “Event” is triggered? • Three Non-Exclusive Possibilities: • Changes output of: • One of port T pins if either of registers corresponding to Output Compare 0 to 6 successfully compares to TCNT register • One/several of Port T pins if Output Compare 7 register successfully compares to TCNT register • Set a Flag in TFLG Register • Cause an Interrupt
Output Compare 0 PT0 Output Compare 1 PT1 Output Compare 2 PT2 Output Compare 3 PT3 Output Compare 4 PT4 Output Compare 5 PT5 Output Compare 6 PT6 Output Compare causes Port T Pins to change state (Part I) • Output Compares 0 to 6: • Each Output compare controls a SINGLE PIN:
Output Compare causes Port T Pins to change state (Part II) • Output Compares 0 to 6: • TCTL1 ($0048) and TCTL2 ($0049) Registers Control How Each Pin Changes TCTL1 $1020

Output Compare Causes Flag to be Set part (II) You clear the Flag by writing a 1 to the corresponding Bit in TFLG ! You Must clear the Flag after it is set • Use LDAA, STAA commands to write 1 to Flag But DON’T USE BSET!!!!

Measuring Long Intervals: Problems with Overflow Bit You must measure this length of time t Record Start Time Record End Time time t But I only have this much time to record last overflow …then I need to record the end time! This is where timer rolls over (overflow) t = [TEND-TSTART]+(# of overflows)*(Toverflow)
CFORC $0041 FOC7 FOC6 FOC5 FOC4 FOC3 FOC2 FOC1 FOC0 Forced Output If you need to change state of Port T Pin BEFORE output compare occurs • Use Forced Output • Software triggers compare to occur • Pin T will change state accordingly. • For Forced Compare, Flag is not set. • Forced Compare takes precedence over regular compare if both occur at same time in same channel • No Flag will be set.

PAEN: 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled PAMOD: 0 = Event Counter, 1 = Gated Time PEDGE: Event Counter: 0 : Falling Edges, 1 : Rising Edges Gated Time: 0 : IOC7 input pin high enables bus clock divided by 64 clock to pulse Accumulator, and trailing falling edge on IOC7 sets PAIF flag 1: IOC7 input pin low enables bus clock divided by 64 clock to pulse Accumulator, and trailing rising edge on IOC7 sets PAIF flag Register Settings
CLK[0:1]: Timer Clock Selection (See page 454 Reference Manual) PAOVF: 0 = No Overflow, 1 = Overflow PAOVI: 0 = Polling, 1 = Interrupt-Driven PAIF: 0 = No Trailing Falling Edge Detected, 1 = Trailing Rising Edge Detected PAIF: 0 = No Trailing Rising Edge Detected, 1 = Trailing Falling Edge Detected PAI: 0 = Polling, 1 = Interrupt-Driven Register Settings
PAMOD = 0 Counts Active Edge of PAI pin Example: (PACNT = 0; PAEN = 1; PEDGE = 1) PAI PT7/ IOC7 16-BIT COUNTER PACNT Value 1 2 3 4 PACNT Event Counting Mode
A light emitter/detector pair can be used in an assembly line to count the number of parts going by. Event Counting Example
PAMOD = 1 Free-running bus clock divided by 64 Subject to PT7/IOC7 pin being active bus/64 CLOCK (from Main Timer) Clock PT7/ IOC7 AND 16-BIT COUNTER PACNT Gated Time Accumulation Mode
PACNT = 0; PAEN = 1; PEDGE = 1 (inhibit counting when PT7/IOC7 is 1) bus/64 PT7 is set to 0 PACNT Value 1 2 3 4 5 6 Gated Time Example
Common use of Gated mode Measure duration of single pulses Easier than with Input Capture Counter is zero before pulse starts After pulse, pulse time directly read (need starting and ending count for input capture) Pulse Width Measurement
Gated Time Accumulation (PAMOD = 1) Set Pulse Accumulator to cause interrupt to occur after 5ms Steps: Calculate time for one bus/64 cycle Divide delay by time for one bus/64 cycle Take 2’s complement and store in PACNT When input goes to active level, counter will increment until overflow Example:Interrupt at Specified Time
