M16C/6N Group (M16C/6NL, M16C/6NN) 12. Timers
Under development
This document is under development and its contents are subject to change.
Item Specification
Count Source f1, f2, f8, f32, fC32
Count Operation Down-count
When the counter reaches 0000h, it stops counting after reloading a new value
If a trigger occurs when counting, the timer reloads a new count and restarts counting
Divide Ratio 1/n n : set value of the TAi register 0000h to FFFFh
However, the counter does not work if the divide-by-n value is set to 0000h.
Count Start Condition The TAiS bit in the TABSR register = 1 (start counting) and one of the following
triggers occurs.
External trigger input from the TAiIN pin
Timer B2 overflow or underflow,
Timer Aj overflow or underflow,
Timer Ak overflow or underflow
The TAiOS bit in the ONSF register is set to 1 (timer starts)
Count Stop Condition When the counter is reloaded after reaching 0000h
TAiS bit is set to 0 (stop counting)
Interrupt Request Generation Timing
When the counter reaches 0000h
TAiIN Pin Function I/O port or trigger input
TAiOUT Pin Function I/O port or pulse output
Read from Timer An indeterminate value is read by reading the TAi register
Write to Timer When not counting and until the 1st count source is input after counting start
Value written to the TAi register is written to both reload register and counter
When counting (after 1st count source input)
Value written to the TAi register is written to only reload register
(Transferred to counter when reloaded next)
Select Function Pulse output function
The timer outputs a low when not counting and a high when counting.
12.1.3 One-shot Timer Mode
In one-shot timer mode, the timer is activated only once by one trigger. When the trigger occurs, the timer
starts up and continues operating for a given period. Table 12.4 lists specifications in one-shot timer
mode. Figure 12.11 shows the TAiMR register in the one-shot timer mode.
Table 12.4 Specifications in One-shot Timer Mode
i = 0 to 4
j = i - 1, except j = 4 if i = 0
k = i + 1, except k = 0 if i = 4
