Information

The FTM period when using up counting is (MOD – CNTIN + 0x0001) × period of the
FTM counter clock.
The TOF bit is set when the FTM counter changes from MOD to CNTIN.
FTM counting is up.

CNTIN = 0xFFFC (in two's complement is equal to -4)
period of counting = (MOD - CNTIN + 0x0001) x period of FTM counter clock

When Then
CNTIN = 0x0000 The FTM counting is equivalent to TPM up counting, that is,
up and unsigned counting. See the following figure.
CNTIN[15] = 1 The initial value of the FTM counter is a negative number in
two's complement, so the FTM counting is up and signed.
CNTIN[15] = 0 and CNTIN ≠ 0x0000 The initial value of the FTM counter is a positive number, so
the FTM counting is up and unsigned.
