Description

The next-generation high-end timer module (HET) on Hercules MCUs is an intelligent timer that provides sophisticated timing functions for real-time applications. The timer is an independent coprocessor using its own reduced instruction set with a specialized timer micromachine and an attached I/O port. The HET can be used for generating pulse-width-modulated outputs for capturing or comparing i
