AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–08/02

Capture Operating Mode

This mode is entered by clearing the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode

pulse timing, frequency, period, duty cycle and phase on TIOA and TIOB signals which

are inputs.

Figure 46 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Capture

Mode.

Capture Registers A and B

(RA and RB)

Registers A and B are used as capture registers. This means that they can be loaded

with the counter value when a programmable event occurs on the signal TIOA.

The parameter LDRA in TC_CMR defines the TIOA edge for the loading of register A,

and the parameter LDRB defines the TIOA edge for the loading of Register B.

RA is loaded only if it has not been loaded since the last trigger or if RB has been loaded

since the last loading of RA.

RB is loaded only if RA has been loaded since the last trigger or the last loading of RB.

Loading RA or RB before the read of the last value loaded sets the Overrun Error Flag

(LOVRS) in TC_SR (Status Register). In this case, the old value is overwritten.

Trigger Conditions

In addition to the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger, an

external trigger can be defined.

Bit ABETRG in TC_CMR selects input signal TIOA or TIOB as an external trigger.

Parameter ETRGEDG defines the edge (rising, falling or both) detected to generate an

external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0 (none), the external trigger is disabled.

Status Register

The following bits in the status register are significant in Capture Operating Mode.

•

CPCS: RC Compare Status

There has been an RC Compare match at least once since the last read of the

status

•

COVFS: Counter Overflow Status

The counter has attempted to count past $FFFF since the last read of the status

•

LOVRS: Load Overrun Status

RA or RB has been loaded at least twice without any read of the corresponding reg-

ister, since the last read of the status

•

LDRAS: Load RA Status

RA has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status

•

LDRBS: Load RB Status

RB has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status

•

ETRGS: External Trigger Status

An external trigger on TIOA or TIOB has been detected since the last read of the

status

Note:

All the status bits are set when the corresponding event occurs and they are automati-

cally cleared when the Status Register is read.
