8XC196MH only: The 8XC196MH device has an additional edge-aligned mode, mode 4. This
mode prevents the output “jitter” that can occur in mode 3 when an EPA event reloads
WG_COUNTER, which also causes a change in the duty cycle. In mode 4, an EPA event reloads
WG_OUTPUT, but WG_COMPx and WG_COUNTER are reloaded only when the counter
reaches the reload value.
