Hi , i'm learning MC9S08PT60 MCU with demo code , when comes to the frequency of FTM1,it really confused me.The pictures below are the FTM1 module's demo code and MC9S08PT60 MCU's RM:
Yes you are right, that description on the code can be tricky and confusing.
That description is regarding the Busclock, which by default is the Frequency devided by 2 and this is before the Prescale Factor Selection.
