R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 15-0 PTPER<15:0>: Master Time Base (PMTMR) Period Value bits
Note 1: The PWM time base has a minimum value of 0x0010, and a maximum value of 0xFFF8.
2: Any period value that is less than 0x0028 must have the Least Significant 3 bits (LSbs) set to ‘0’. This
yields a period resolution of 8.32 ns (at fastest Auxiliary Clock rate) for these very short PWM period
pulses.
