CHAPTER 11 TIMEBASE TIMER
11.6 Precautions when Using Timebase Timer
Precautions when using the timebase timer are shown below.
■ Precautions when Using Timebase Timer
●
Clearing interrupt request
To clear the overflow interrupt request flag bit in the timebase timer control register (TBTC: TBOF = 0),
disable interrupts (TBTC: TBIE = 0) or mask the timebase timer interrupt by using the interrupt level mask
register in the processor status.
●
Clearing timebase timer counter
Clearing the timebase timer counter affects the following operations:
• When the timebase timer is used as the interval timer (interval interrupt).
• When the watchdog timer is used.
• When the clock supplied from the timebase timer is used as the operation clock of the PPG timer.
●
Using timebase timer as oscillation stabilization wait time timer
After power on or in the main stop mode, PLL stop mode, and sub clock mode, the oscillation clock stops.
Therefore, when oscillation starts, the timebase timer requires the oscillation stabilization wait time of the
main clock. An appropriate oscillation stabilization wait time must be selected according to the types of
oscillators connected to high-speed oscillation input pins.
Reference:
For details on the oscillation stabilization wait time, see "5.6 Oscillation Stabilization Wait Interval".
●
Resources to which timebase timer supplies clock
• At transition to operation modes (PLL stop mode, sub clock mode, and main stop mode) in which the
oscillation clock stops, the timebase timer counter is cleared and the timebase timer stops.
• When the timebase timer counter is cleared, an after-clearing interval time is needed. It may cause the
clock supplied from the timebase timer to have a short High level or a 1/2 cycle longer Low level.
• The watchdog timer performs normal counting because the watchdog timer counter and timebase timer
counter are cleared simultaneously.
