Hi Kerry,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I just wish there is a PIT hardware trigger output to trigger the quad timer. Then, using the XBAR to connect that trigger output to the quad input to generate a single pulse of set width, say, 300ms. In that case, there is no need to cascade 2 quad timers together to get a 32-bit timer.
Also, if we can do it in that way, we can control the interval between the pulses using PIT trigger output. Using the interrupt might not be a way since software will have to keep servicing the interrupts.
We are tight in finding spare output pins. If we cascade 2 quad timers together, what is the best way of ensuring the period of the PWM output is changed only on the completion of last period? Or will the PWM module handle this change automatically? Let me know should you need more details of what we intend to do.
When cascading 2 quad timers, can we use any of the quad timers? Say, TMR1 Channel 0 cascaded to TMR 1 Channel 3, or, TMR1 Channel 1 to TMR2 Channel 0?
Your feedbacks are very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Cindy
