CHAPTER 7 8-BIT PWM TIMER
■ PWM timer function
The PWM timer function has 8-bit resolution and can control the "H" and "L" width of one cycle.
• As the resolution is 1/256, pulses can be output with duty ratio of between 0 and 99.6%.
• The cycle of the PWM wave can be selected from four types.
• The PWM timer can be used as a D/A converter by connecting the output to a low-pass filter.
Table 7.1-2 "Available PWM wave cycle for PWM timer function" lists the available PWM wave cycles
for the PWM timer function. Figure 7.1-1 "Example D/A converter configuration using PWM output and
low-pass filter" shows an example D/A converter configuration.

Reference:
Interrupt requests are not generated during operation of the PWM function.
