The EPA control (EPAx_CON) registers control the functions of their assigned capture/compare channels. The registers for EPA0 andEPA2 are identical. The registers for EPA1 and EPA3 have an additional bit, the remap bit. This added bit (bit 8) requires an additional byte, so EPA1_CON and EPA3_CON must be addressed as words, while the others can be addressed as bytes.

Reset Opposite Timer

 

 

Controls different functions for capture and compare modes.

 

 

In Capture Mode:

 

 

0

= causes no action

 

 

1

= resets the opposite timer

 

 

In Compare Mode:

 

 

Selects the timer that is to be reset if the RT bit is set.

 

 

0

= selects the reference timer for possible reset

 

 

1

= selects the opposite timer for possible reset

 

 

The TB bit (bit 7) selects which is the reference timer and which is the

 

 

opposite timer.

 

 

 

0

ON/RT

Overwrite New/Reset Timer

 

 

The ON/RT bit functions as overwrite new in capture mode and reset

 

 

timer in compare mode.

 

 

In Capture Mode (ON):

 

 

An overrun error is generated when an input capture occurs while the

 

 

event-time register (EPAx_TIME) and its buffer are both full. When an

 

 

overrun occurs, the ON bit determines whether old data is overwritten or

 

 

new data is ignored:

 

 

0

= ignores new data

 

 

1

= overwrites old data in the buffer

 

 

In Compare Mode (RT):

 

 

0

= disables the reset function

 

 

1

= resets the ROT-selected timer

 

 

 

 

These bits apply to the EPA1_CON and EPA3_CON registers only.
