18.3.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose output appears on the T1CH0
pin. The TIM1 channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the pulse width of the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIM1 channel 0 status and control register (T1SC0) links channel 0 and channel 1.
The TIM1 channel 0 registers initially control the pulse width on the T1CH0 pin. Writing to the TIM1
channel 1 registers enables the TIM1 channel 1 registers to synchronously control the pulse width at the
beginning of the next PWM period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIM1 channel registers (0 or 1) that
control the pulse width are the ones written to last. T1SC0 controls and monitors the buffered PWM
function, and TIM1 channel 1 status and control register (T1SC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set,
the channel 1 pin, T1CH1, is available as a general-purpose I/O pin.
NOTE
In buffered PWM signal generation, do not write new pulse width values to
the currently active channel registers. User software should track the
currently active channel to prevent writing a new value to the active
channel. Writing to the active channel registers is the same as generating
unbuffered PWM signals.
18.3.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered PWM signals, use the following
initialization procedure:
1. In the TIM1 status and control register (T1SC):
a. Stop the TIM1 counter by setting the TIM1 stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the TIM1 counter and prescaler by setting the TIM1 reset bit, TRST.
2. In the TIM1 counter modulo registers (T1MODH:T1MODL), write the value for the required PWM
period.
3. In the TIM1 channel x registers (T1CHxH:T1CHxL), write the value for the required pulse width.
4. In TIM1 channel x status and control register (T1SCx):
a. Write 0:1 (for unbuffered output compare or PWM signals) or 1:0 (for buffered output compare
or PWM signals) to the mode select bits, MSxB:MSxA. See Table 18-2.
b. Write 1 to the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx.
c. Write 1:0 (polarity 1 — to clear output on compare) or 1:1 (polarity 0 — to set output on
compare) to the edge/level select bits, ELSxB:ELSxA. The output action on compare must
force the output to the complement of the pulse width level. See Table 18-2.
NOTE
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle on
output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0% duty
cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-correct in the
event of software error or noise. Toggling on output compare can also
cause incorrect PWM signal generation when changing the PWM pulse
width to a new, much larger value.
5. In the TIM1 status control register (T1SC), clear the TIM1 stop bit, TSTOP.
Setting MS0B links channels 0 and 1 and configures them for buffered PWM operation. The TIM1
channel 0 registers (TCH0H:TCH0L) initially control the buffered PWM output. TIM1 status control
