26.2.3.4 Up/Down Mode
The up/down mode is used if the timer period must be different from TBxR(max) counts and if symmetrical pulse generation is needed. The timer repeatedly counts up to the value of compare latch TBxCL0, and back down to zero (see Figure 26-7). The period is twice the value in TBxCL0.
NOTE
TBxCL0 > TBxR(max)
If TBxCL0 > TBxR(max), the counter operates as if it were configured for continuous mode. It does not count down from TBxR(max) to zero.
Figure 26-7 Up/Down Mode The count direction is latched. This allows the timer to be stopped and then restarted in the same direction it was counting before it was stopped. If this is not desired, the TBCLR bit must be used to clear the direction. Setting TBCLR also clears the TBxR value and the clock divider counter logic (the divider setting remains unchanged).
In up/down mode, the TBxCCR0 CCIFG interrupt flag and the TBIFG interrupt flag are set only once during the period, separated by one-half the timer period. The TBxCCR0 CCIFG interrupt flag is set when the timer counts from TBxCL0-1 to TBxCL0, and TBIFG is set when the timer completes counting down from 0001h to 0000h. Figure 26-8 shows the flag set cycle.
