14.6 Design Tips
Question 1: The Output Compare pin stops functioning even when the OCSIDL bit is not
set. Why?
Answer: This is most likely to occur when the TSIDL bit (TxCON<13>) of the associated timer
source is set. Therefore, it is the timer that actually goes into Idle mode when the PWRSAV
instruction is executed.
Question 2: Can I use the Output Compare modules with the selected time base
configured for 32-bit mode?
Answer: No. The T32 bit (TxCON<3>) should be cleared when the timer is used with an output
compare module.
