PWM Waveform Generation
If the 
PRDCNT bit is set, the internally-clocked timer generates rectangular 
signals with well-defined period and duty cycles. This mode also generates 
periodic interrupts for real-time processing.
The 32-bit period (
TMxPRD) and width (TMxW) registers are programmed 
with the values of the timer count period and pulse width modulated out-
put pulse width.
When the timer is enabled in this mode, the TIMERx signal is pulled to a 
deasserted state each time the pulse width expires, and the signal is 
asserted again when the period expires (or when the timer is started).
