Chaining of timer channels

The timer channels can be chained. Chaining of 16-bit counters is supported by accommodating counts up to 64-bits. The chained channels can be selected by a Timer property. For example, if 32-bit counts are required for the FreeCntr component, it is possible to set the Timer property of the component by selecting the TMRA01_Compare or TMRA01_Free values. These counters are not standalone 32- bit HW counters, but rather two chained 16-bit counters.

Note: Only chaining of the channels 0-1, 2-3 and 0-1-2-3 are available. Another possible chains can be created using Init_TMR components.
