27.2.8Counter Register n (COUNTx)

The Counter (COUNTx) registers are word-wide read/write registers. There are a total of four registers called COUNT1 through COUNT4, one for each of the four timer sub- systems. Software may read the registers at any time. Reading the register will return the current value of the counter. The register may only be written if the counter is stopped (i.e. if both TxRUN bits associated with a timer sub- system are clear). The registers are cleared at reset.

27.2.10 Duty Cycle/Capture Register n (DTYCAPx)

The Duty Cycle/Capture (DTYCAPx) registers are word- wide read/write registers. There are a total of four registers called DTYCAP1 through DTYCAP4, one for each timer subsystem. The registers hold the period compare value in PWM mode or the counter value at the time the last associ- ated capture event occurred. In PWM mode, the register is double buffered. If a new duty cycle compare value is written while the counter is running, the write will not take effect un- til the counter value matches the previous period compare value or until the counter is stopped. The update takes effect on period boundaries only. Reading may take place at any time and will return the most recent value which was written. The DTYCAPx registers are cleared at reset.

27.2.9Period/Capture Register n (PERCAPx)

The PERCAPx registers are word-wide read/write registers. There are a total of four registers called PERCAP1 through PERCAP4, one for each timer subsystem. The registers hold the period compare value in PWM mode of the counter value at the time the last associated capture event occurred. In PWM mode the register is double buffered. If a new peri- od compare value is written while the counter is running, the write will not take effect until counter value matches the pre- vious period compare value or until the counter is stopped. Reading may take place at any time and will return the most recent value which was written. The PERCAPx registers are cleared at reset.
