Differences between Timer’s A and B
Differences between Timer’s A and B
The Timer_A and Timer_B peripherals are very similar. The following slide highlights the few
differences between them.
Hint: For a more complete understanding of these differences, we highly recommend that you
refer to MSP430 Microcontroller Basics. John Davies does a great job of describing the
differences between these timers. Furthermore, his discussion of generating PWM
waveforms using these timers is extremely good. If you’ve never heard of the differences
between edge-aligned and centered PWM waveforms, check out his MSP430 book.
