Write a value which satisfies GRA_0 + 1 < GR < H'FFFF to the buffer register. A 
waveform with a duty cycle of 0% can be output. However, a waveform with a duty 
cycle of 100% cannot be output using the buffer operation. Also, the buffer operation 
cannot be used to change duty cycles while a waveform with a duty cycle of 100% is 
being output. For details on buffer operation, see section 14.4.8, Buffer Operation. 
14.4.8 Buffer Operation 
Buffer operation differs depending on whether GR has been designated for an input capture 
register or an output compare register, or in reset synchronous PWM mode or complementary 
PWM mode. 
Table 14.8 shows the register combinations used in buffer operation.

1.  When GR is an output compare register 
When a compare match occurs, the value in the buffer register of the corresponding channel is 
transferred to the general register. 
This operation is illustrated in figure 14.35.
