FlexTimer of MC9S08PA16 has dead-time for motor control?

I need to know if FlexTimer of MC9S08PA16 has dead-time for motor control?
Where can I download the complete 9S08PA Series Reference Manual?
Is it the same as the 9S08PT series by removing TSI?

Thank you very much.

I see that the MC9S08MP16 is documented to have FlexTimer peripherals with Dead Time Insertion DTI for motor control to help avoid shoot-through on bridge drivers.

But I do not see that MC9S08PA16 has Dead Time Insertion in its Flex Timer Peripherals.

Personally, I tend to favor using hardware to avoid possibility of shoot-through versus having to rely on always having proper code execution to avoid catastrophic destruction.   I have relied on FPGA/CPLD to do this also, but I suppose the dead timer feature is put into the MC9S08MP16 for a reason.

Sorry that I cannot be of better help!
