14.12.12 CNTL – Counter register L
The CNTH and CNTL register pair represents the 16-bit value, CNT. CNT contains the 16-bit
counter value in the timer/counter. CPU and DMA write access has priority over count, clear, or
reload of the counter.
For more details on reading and writing 16-bit registers, refer to ”Accessing 16-bit Registers” on
page 13.
• Bit 7:0 – CNT[7:0]
These bits hold the LSB of the 16-bit counter register.
14.12.13 CNTH – Counter register H
• Bit 7:0 – CNT[15:8]
These bits hold the MSB of the 16-bit counter register.
14.12.14 PERL – Period register L
The PERH and PERL register pair represents the 16-bit value, PER. PER contains the 16-bit
TOP value in the timer/counter.
• Bit 7:0 – PER[7:0]
These bits hold the LSB of the 16-bit period register.
