CHAPTER 6 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 00 AND 01
6.1 Functions of 8-Bit Timer/Event Counters 00 and 01
The 8-bit timer/event counters (TM00 and TM01) have the following functions.
• Interval timer (TM00 and TM01)
• External event counter (TM01 only)
• Square wave output (TM01 only)
The
µ
PD789800 Subseries is provided with a 1-channel (TM01) 8-bit timer/event counter and a 1-channel (TM00)
8-bit timer. When reading the description of TM00, “timer/event counter” should be read as “ timer”.
(1) 8-bit interval timer
When the 8-bit timer/event counter is used as an interval timer, it generates an interrupt at any preset time
interval.
