24 General Purpose Timer Array (GPTA)
This chapter describes the General Purpose Timer Array of the TC1796. The GPTA
consists of three sub-modules: GPTA0 and GPTA1 with identical functionality; LTCA2
has reduced GPTA0/1 functionality.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• A summary on the structure and basic functionalities (see Page 24-2)
• Functional description of the GPTA kernel, applicable for GPTA0 and GPTA1
(see Page 24-6)
• Register descriptions of all GPTA kernel specific registers, applicable for GPTA0 and
GPTA1 (see Page 24-150)
• Functional description of the LTCA2 kernel (see Page 24-217)
• Register descriptions of all LTCA2 kernel specific registers (see Page 24-233)
• TC1796 implementation-specific details and registers of the GPTA module, including
port connections and control, interrupt control, address decoding, and clock control
(see Page 24-247).
Note: The GPTA kernel register names described in Section 24.3 and Section 24.5 will
be referenced in the TC1796 User’s Manual by the module name prefix “GPTA0_”
for the GPTA0 module, by “GPTA1_” for the GPTA1 module, and by “LTCA2_” for
the LTCA2 module.
