The QG family reuses the robust TPM module found on most of NXP’s 8-bit products. The TPM channels can operate as input capture, output compare, buffered edge-aligned pulse width modulation (PWM), and buffered center-aligned PWM. NXP has added the 8-bit MTIM to be used as a 2nd timebase for software interrupts. The MTIM can be used to create software events at a different timebase than the events generated by the TPM.
