Timebase peripheral |
摘要 |
A microcontroller has a timebase driven by a clock signal, wherein the timebase has a reset input and an output coupled with a comparator. The comparator is further coupled with a register and is operable to generate a synchronization output signal if the timebase matches the register value. The microcontroller further has a first multiplexer receiving the synchronization output signal from the comparator and further receiving at least one event signal generated by a unit other than the timebase, wherein the first multiplexer is operable to select either the synchronization output signal or the at least one event signal as a timebase synchronization output signal. |

1. A microcontroller comprising a timebase driven by a clock signal, wherein the timebase comprises a reset input and an output coupled with a comparator, wherein the comparator is further coupled with a register and is operable to generate a synchronization output signal if the timebase matches the register value; further comprising a first multiplexer receiving the synchronization output signal from the comparator and further receiving at least one event signal generated by a unit other than the timebase, wherein the first multiplexer is operable to select either the synchronization output signal or the at least one event signal as a timebase synchronization output signal. |
