TOVx — Toggle-On-Overflow Bit
When channel x is an output compare channel, this read/write bit controls the behavior of the channel
x output when the TIMA counter overflows. When channel x is an input capture channel, TOVx has no
effect. Reset clears the TOVx bit.
1 = Channel x pin toggles on TIMA counter overflow.
0 = Channel x pin does not toggle on TIMA counter overflow.
NOTE
When TOVx is set, a TIMA counter overflow takes precedence over a
channel x output compare if both occur at the same time.
CHxMAX — Channel x Maximum Duty Cycle Bit
When the TOVx bit is at logic 1, setting the CHxMAX bit forces the duty cycle of buffered and
unbuffered PWM signals to 100%. As Figure 25-8 shows, the CHxMAX bit takes effect in the cycle after
it is set or cleared. The output stays at the 100% duty cycle level until the cycle after CHxMAX is
cleared.

25.8.5 TIMA Channel Registers
These read/write registers contain the captured TIMA counter value of the input capture function or the
output compare value of the output compare function. The state of the TIMA channel registers after reset
is unknown.
In input capture mode (MSxB–MSxA = 0:0) reading the high byte of the TIMA channel x registers
(TACHxH) inhibits input captures until the low byte (TACHxL) is read.
In output compare mode (MSxB–MSxA ≠ 0:0) writing to the high byte of the TIMA channel x registers
(TACHxH) inhibits output compares and the CHxF bit until the low byte (TACHxL) is written.
