Timebase

For edge-aligned mode, a 12-bit up-only counter is used to create the PWM period. Therefore, the PWM resolution in edge-aligned mode is one clock (highest resolution is125 ns @ fOP = 8 MHz) as shown in Figure 12-5. Again, the timer modulus register is used to determine the maximum count. The PWM period will equal:

(timer modulus) x (PWM clock period)

Center-aligned operation versus edge-aligned operation is determined by the option EDGE. See 5.2 Functional Description.
