8.5.4 Pulse width measurement operations
It is possible to measure the pulse width of the signals input to the TI00/P00 pin and TI01/P01 pin using the
16-bit timer register (TM0).
There are two measurement methods: measuring with TM0 used in free-running mode, and measuring by
restarting the timer in synchronization with the edge of the signal input to the TI00/P00 pin.
(1) Pulse width measurement with free-running counter and one capture register
When the 16-bit timer register (TM0) is operated in free-running mode (see register settings in Figure 8-17),
and the edge specified by external interrupt mode register 0 (INTM0) is input to the TI00/P00 pin, the value
of TM0 is taken into 16-bit capture/compare register 01 (CR01) and an external interrupt request signal (INTP0)
is set.
Any of three edge specifications can be selected—rising, falling, or both edges—by means of bits 2 and 3
(ES10 and ES11) of INTM0.
For valid edge detection, sampling is performed at the interval selected by means of the sampling clock
selection register (SCS), and a capture operation is only performed when a valid level is detected twice, thus
eliminating noise with a short pulse width.
Figure 8-17. Control Register Settings for Pulse Width Measurement with
Free-Running Counter and One Capture Register
(a) 16-bit timer mode control register (TMC0)
(b) Capture/compare control register 0 (CRC0)
Remark 0/1: Setting 0 or 1 allows another function to be used simultaneously with pulse width
measurement. See the description of the respective control registers for details.
