Timebase peripheral |
摘要 |
A microcontroller has a programmable timebase, wherein the timebase has a trigger input to start a timer or counter of the timebase and wherein the timebase can be configured to operate upon receiving a trigger signal in a first mode to generate a plurality of timer/counter event signals until a reset bit in a control register is set and in a second mode to generate a single timer/counter event signal and wherein the timebase can be configured to operate in a third mode to generate a predefined number of timer/counter event signals, wherein the predefined number is defined by a plurality of bits of a register. |

1. A microcontroller comprising a programmable timebase, wherein the timebase comprises a trigger input to start a timer or counter of the timebase and wherein the timebase can be configured to operate in a first mode to generate a plurality of timer/counter event signals until a reset bit in a control register is set and in a second mode to generate a single timer/counter event signal and in a third mode to generate a predefined number of timer/counter event signals, wherein the predefined number is defined by a plurality of bits of a register and wherein the first mode is set by setting a first mode bit and the second mode or the third mode are set by setting a second mode plurality of bits, wherein the control register is a first control register and the plurality of bits are bits of a second control register associated with the timebase. |
