Capture Initiated by Software
Captures can be initiated by software. The CMx bits can be set for capture on
both edges. Software then sets CCIS1 = 1 and toggles bit CCIS0 to switch the
capture signal between V
CC
and GND, initiating a capture each time CCIS0
changes state:
MOV #CAP+SCS+CCIS1+CM_3,&TACCTLx ; Setup TACCTLx
XOR #CCIS0,&TACCTLx ; TACCTLx = TAR
Compare Mode
The compare mode is selected when CAP = 0. The compare mode is used to
generate PWM output signals or interrupts at specific time intervals. When
TAR counts to the value in a TACCRx:
- Interrupt flag CCIFG is set
- Internal signal EQUx = 1
- EQUx affects the output according to the output mode
- The input signal CCI is latched into SCCI
