Enhanced Capture (eCAP)
5.5.3 Continuous/One-Shot Control
Operation of eCAP in Continuous/One-Shot mode:
• The Mod4 (2-bit) counter is incremented via edge qualified events (CEVT1-CEVT4).
• The Mod4 counter continues counting (0->1->2->3->0) and wraps around unless stopped.
• A 2-bit stop register is used to compare the Mod4 counter output, and when equal, stops the Mod4
counter and inhibits further loads of the CAP1-CAP4 registers. This occurs during one-shot operation.
The continuous/one-shot block controls the start, stop and reset (zero) functions of the Mod4 counter, via
a mono-shot type of action that can be triggered by the stop-value comparator and re-armed via software
control.
Once armed, the eCAP module waits for 1-4 (defined by stop-value) capture events before freezing both
the Mod4 counter and contents of CAP1-4 registers (time stamps).
Re-arming prepares the eCAP module for another capture sequence. Also, re-arming clears (to zero) the
Mod4 counter and permits loading of CAP1-4 registers again, providing the CAPLDEN bit is set.
In continuous mode, the Mod4 counter continues to run (0->1->2->3->0, the one-shot action is ignored,
and capture values continue to be written to CAP1-4 in a circular buffer sequence.
