EVENT PROCESSOR ARRAY (EPA)
Figure 10-5. A Single EPA Capture/Compare Channel
10.4.1 Operating in Capture Mode
In capture mode, when a valid event occurs on the pin, the value of the selected timer is captured
into a buffer. The timer value is then transferred from the buffer to the EPAx_TIME register,
which sets the EPA interrupt pending bit as shown in Figure 10-6. If enabled, an interrupt is gen-
erated. If a second event occurs before the CPU reads the first timer value in EPAx_TIME, the
current timer value is loaded into the buffer and held there. After the CPU reads the EPAx_TIME
register, the contents of the capture buffer are automatically transferred into EPAx_TIME and the
EPA interrupt pending bit is set.
