CHAPTER 6 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 00 AND 01

6.5 Notes on Using 8-Bit Timer/Event Counters 00 and 01
(1) Error on starting timer
An error of up to 1 clock occurs after the timer is started until a match signal is generated. This is because 8-bit
timer counters 00 and 01 (TM00 and TM01) are started asynchronously to the count pulse.

(2) Setting of 8-bit compare register
8-bit compare registers 00 and 01 (CR00 and CR01) can be set to 00H.
Therefore, one pulse can be counted when the 8-bit timer/event counter operates as an event counter.
