Using complex timers in high level components

This topic explains the options of usage of the complex timers in the high-level components allowing you to benefit from the advanced features of these components. All peripherals from this group are also supported by the Peripheral Initialization Components (for details, see Component categories topic).

The following table shows a list of the timer components and PE devices that can be used in the components as rows. The columns show the state of all devices defined for the timer for conditions determined by rows.

Table 1. Timer components and PE devices

Table legend:

Blocked - Device might not be directly used by the component, but it cannot be used (shared) by other components because it would disrupt the component's function.
Used - Device is required and used by the component.
Free - Device is not used nor blocked by the component so it can be used by another component.
