Mnemonic

Address

Description

 

 

 

EPA_MASK

1F9CH

EPA Mask

 

 

Four bits (OVR0, OVR1, OVR2, and OVR3) in this 8-bit register

 

 

enable and disable (mask) the individual capture overrun interrupt

 

 

sources associated with capture/compare channels EPA3:0.

EPA_PEND

1F9EH

EPA Pending

 

 

Four bits (OVR0, OVR1, OVR2, and OVR3) in this 8-bit register

 

 

indicate an overrun status for the associated capture/compare

 

 

channels, EPA3:0. OVR0 and OVR1 are multiplexed to share one

 

 

interrupt pending bit (OVR0_1) in INT_PEND1; OVR2 and OVR3

 

 

are multiplexed to share another interrupt pending bit (OVR2_3)

 

 

in INT_PEND1.

EPA0_CON

1F80H

EPAx Capture/Compare Control

EPA1_CON

1F84H

These registers control the functions of the capture/compare

EPA2_CON

1F88H

channels. EPA1_CON and EPA3_CON require an extra byte

EPA3_CON

1F8CH

because they contain an additional bit for PWM remap mode.

 

 

 

 

These two registers must be addressed as words; the others can

 

 

be addressed as bytes.

EPA0_TIME

1F82H

EPAx Capture/Compare Time

EPA1_TIME

1F86H

In capture mode, these registers contain the captured timer value.

EPA2_TIME

1F8AH

In compare mode, these registers contain the time at which an

EPA3_TIME

1F8EH

event is to occur. In capture mode, these registers are buffered to

 

 

 

 

allow two captures before an overrun occurs. However, they are

 

 

not buffered in compare mode.

INT_MASK

0008H

Interrupt Mask

 

 

Three bits in this 8-bit register (OVRTM1, OVRTM2, and EPA0)

 

 

enable and disable (mask) the three interrupts associated with the

 

 

corresponding bits in INT_PEND register.

INT_MASK1

0013H

Interrupt Mask 1

 

 

Five bits in this 8-bit register (EPA1, EPA2, EPA3, OVR0_1, and

 

 

OVR2_3) enable and disable (mask) the five interrupts associated

 

 

with the corresponding bits in INT_PEND1 register.

INT_PEND

0009H

Interrupt Pending

 

 

Any set bit in this 8-bit register indicates a pending interrupt. The

 

 

three bits associated with EPA interrupts are OVRTM1, OVRTM2,

 

 

and EPA0.

INT_PEND1

0012H

Interrupt Pending 1

 

 

Any set bit in this 8-bit register indicates a pending interrupt. The

 

 

five bits associated with EPA interrupts are EPA1, EPA2, EPA3,

 

 

OVR0_1, and OVR2_3.

P1_DIR

1FD2H

Port 1 Direction

 

 

Each bit of P1_DIR controls the direction of the corresponding

 

 

pin. Clearing a bit configures a pin as a complementary output;

 

 

setting a bit configures a pin as an input or open-drain output.

 

 

(Open-drain outputs require external pull-ups.)
