Functional Description
The main components of each GPTM block are two free-running 16-bit up/down counters (referred
to as TimerA and TimerB), two 16-bit match registers, two prescaler match registers, and two
16-bit load/initialization registers and their associated control functions. The exact functionality of
each GPTM is controlled by software and configured through the register interface.
Software configures the GPTM using the GPTM Configuration (GPTMCFG) register (see
page 147), the GPTM TimerA Mode (GPTMTAMR) register (see page 148), and the GPTM
TimerB Mode (GPTMTBMR) register (see page 149). When in one of the 32-bit modes, the timer
can only act as a 32-bit timer. However, when configured in 16-bit mode, the GPTM can have its
two 16-bit timers configured in any combination of the 16-bit modes.
GPTM Reset Conditions
After reset has been applied to the GPTM module, the module is in an inactive state, and all
control registers are cleared and in their default states. Counters TimerA and TimerB are initialized
to 0xFFFF, along with their corresponding load registers: the GPTM TimerA Interval Load
(GPTMTAILR) register (see page 157) and the GPTM TimerB Interval Load (GPTMTBILR)
register (see page 158). The prescale counters are initialized to 0x00: the GPTM TimerA
Prescale (GPTMTAPR) register (see page 161) and the GPTM TimerB Prescale (GPTMTBPR)
register (see page 162).
