AVR 0 series- TCA in split mode

[sanka1p]

Hi All, I am trying to use TCA in split mode in Atmega1608. I read Datasheet and Application note but few things are unclear to me. First one is, what does Low Byte count and High Byte count mean? How can I use them to make 2 PWMs? Can I just use LCMP0 and LCMP1 to generate those? It is quite confusing. I tried the understand the waveform on page 200 of datasheet, but it manly describes the count down nature of split timer. My Ultimate goal is to make a PWM of 2Hz on one pin and a 1Khz PWM on other pin.

On github there are some examples. I find them really useful:

Yes, I went through the application note. One big question I have is,  when it says "A TCA instance can be split into two completely independent 8-bit timers" does that mean LPER and HPER register are 8 bit register or 16 bit?
