CHAPTER 21 REAL-TIME OUTPUT PORT
(1) Real-time output buffer register (RTBL, RTBH)
Addresses of RTBL and RTBH are mapped individually in the special function register (SFR) area as shown
in Figure 21-2.
When specifying 4 bits x 2 channels as the operating mode, data are set individually in RTBL and RTBH.
When specifying 8 bits x 1 channel as the operating mode, data are set to both RTBL and RTBH by writing
8-bit data to either RTBL or RTBH.
Table 21-2 shows operations during manipulation of RTBL and RTBH.

Notes 1. Only the bits set in the real-time output port mode can be read. When a read is performed to the bits
set in the port mode, 0 is read out.
2. After setting data in the real-time output port, output data should be set in RTBL and RTBH by the
time a real-time output trigger is generated.
