Hi kvvsai,

the main difference between TimerA0 and TimerA1/2 is, that you only have 3 capture compare registers compared to the 5 CC in the TimerA0.

Hi Peter,
We can use Timer A1 similar to how we used Timer A0 i.e writing interrupt service routine and using interrupt vector without any limitation.

Best regards,
