Event Manager (EV) Reference Guide SPRU065E Error

Hi:

On page 1-19, section 1.4.9, states:  "GP Timer Compare Output ... It goes from low to high (high to low) on the first compare match when
it is active high (low). It then goes from high to low (low to high) ... , or on period match if the GP timer is in up-counting mode. "

This is false.  The TnCMP output goes to the inactive level in up-counting mode on underflow, ie. when TnCNT transitions from the TnPR value (top count) to zero (bottom count) , then the TnCMP pin goes to inactive level.

The erroneous advice is repeated on page 1-27, section 1.4.24.

I have confirmed this by manually clocking the TCLKINx pin and watching the TnCMP out with various configurations.

In general, TnCNT underflow to zero causes the TnCMP to go inactive.  Also, software setting of TnCNT->0 causes TnCMP to go inactive, and this condition is latched (stays inactive until the next compare match).  Also clearing TnCON.TECMPR makes TnCMP output inactive, and is latched until next compare match (when compare is reenabled).
