The up/down mode is used if the timer period must be different from TBR(max) counts, and if a symmetrical pulse generation is needed. The timer repeatedly counts up to the value of compare latch TBCL0, and back down to zero, as shown in Figure 13-7. The period is twice the value in TBCL0.
TBCL0 > TBR(max)
If TBCL0 > TBR(max), the counter operates as if it were configured for continuous mode. It does not count down from TBR(max) to zero.
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. The TBCLR bit also clears the TBR value and the clock divider.
In up/down mode, the TBCCR0 CCIFG interrupt flag and the TBIFG interrupt flag are set only once during the period, separated by 1/2 the timer period. The TBCCR0 CCIFG interrupt flag is set when the timer counts from TBCL0-1 to TBCL0, and TBIFG is set when the timer completes counting down from 0001h to 0000h. Figure 13-8 shows the flag set cycle.
