CHAPTER 8 16-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTER
8.2 16-Bit Timer/Event Counter Functions
The 16-bit timer/event counter (TM0) has the following functions.
• Interval timer
• PWM output
• Pulse width measurement
• External event counter
• Square-wave output
• One-shot pulse output
PWM output and pulse width measurement can be used at the same time.
(1) Interval timer
TM0 generates interrupt requests at the preset time interval.

Remarks 1. fX: Main system clock oscillation frequency
2. MCS: Oscillation mode selection register (OSMS) bit 0

X = 5.0 MHz
(2) PWM output
TM0 can generate 14-bit resolution PWM output.
(3) Pulse width measurement
TM0 can measure the pulse width of an externally input signal.
(4) External event counter
TM0 can measure the number of pulses of an externally input signal.
