SAM3S8/SD8 Summary
– Interval Measurement
– Pulse Generation
– Delay Timing
– Pulse Width Modulation
– Up/down Capabilities
• Each channel is user-configurable and contains:
– Three external clock inputs
– Five internal clock inputs
– Two multi-purpose input/output signals
• Two global registers that act on all three TC Channels
• Quadrature decoder
– Advanced line filtering
– Position / revolution / speed
• 2-bit Gray Up/Down Counter for Stepper Motor
11.7 Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM)
• One Four-channel 16-bit PWM Controller, 16-bit counter per channel
• Common clock generator, providing Thirteen Different Clocks
– A Modulo n counter providing eleven clocks
– Two independent Linear Dividers working on modulo n counter outputs
– High Frequency Asynchronous clocking mode
• Independent channel programming
– Independent Enable Disable Commands
– Independent Clock Selection
– Independent Period and Duty Cycle, with Double Buffering
– Programmable selection of the output waveform polarity
– Programmable center or left aligned output waveform
– Independent Output Override for each channel
– Independent complementary Outputs with 12-bit dead time generator for each
channel
– Independent Enable Disable Commands
– Independent Clock Selection
– Independent Period and Duty Cycle, with Double Buffering
• Synchronous Channel mode
– Synchronous Channels share the same counter
– Mode to update the synchronous channels registers after a programmable number
of periods
• Connection to one PDC channel
– Provides Buffer transfer without processor intervention, to update duty cycle of
synchronous channels
• Two independent event lines which can send up to 4 triggers on ADC within a period
