15.2 Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA C3 devices have a set of five flexible 16-bit timer/counters (TC). Their capa-
bilities include accurate program execution timing, frequency and waveform generation, and
input capture with time and frequency measurement of digital signals. Two timer/counters can
be cascaded to create a 32-bit timer/counter with optional 32-bit capture.
A timer/counter consists of a base counter and a set of compare or capture (CC) channels. The
base counter can be used to count clock cycles or events. It has direction control and period set-
ting that can be used for timing. The CC channels can be used together with the base counter to
do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse width waveform modulation, as well
as various input capture operations. A timer/counter can be configured for either capture or com-
pare functions, but cannot perform both at the same time.
