The counter is decremented each time thecounter reaches zero, the counter will be reloaded by the value of the DAC CNTVALregister and the DMA request bit INT_DMA_REQ will be set in hardware.Note that the contents of the DAC CTRL and DAC CNTVAL registers are read and writeaccessible, but the timer itself is not accessible for either read or write.Table 1019.D/A Control register (CTRL - address 0x400E 1004) bit descriptionBit Symbol Value Description Resetvalue0 INT_DMA_REQ DMA request 00 This bit is cleared on any write to the DAC CR register.1 This bit is set by hardware when the timer times out.1 DBLBUF_ENA DMA double-buffering 00 Disable double-buffering.1 Enable double-buffering. When this bit and theCNT_ENA bit are both set, the double-buffering featurein the DAC CR register will be enabled. Writes to theDAC CR register are written to a pre-buffer and thentransferred to the DAC CR on the next time-out of thecounter.2 CNT_ENA DMA time-out 00 Time-out counter operation is disabled.1 Time-out counter operation is enabled.3 DMA_ENA DAC and DMA enable 00 Disable DMA/DMA.1 Enable DAC and DMA Burst Request Input 15 (seeTable 270).31:4 - Reserved, user software should not write ones toreserved bits.
