Calculating the freest rising edge

d Say we are measuring for rising edges
whenever this est lip has rising edge the
working value of 32 Git counter is moved to
of capture evey
and at same time an Interrupt is raised
capture provided if it is enabled
now the user can read the value of

1 4 32 bit match registers are available
for this
Optional interrupt generation on match
Stops the timer every time there is a match
resets the timer everytime there is match

up to a external signals are there associated
to match veg
4 types of narration you can set with
these external signals
Set low high Toggle Do nothing on match

example changing the ops when there is

a match
value in match obey 0005
12345
reset everytime when there
is a match
when value in 32 bit Counter
0005 becomes 0005

32 bit comparator generates

an interrupt
If
enabled
Say if every match toggles
an op high is set Then
pe is set to high
Again the counter Valve is reset
