17.3 Operation
17.3.1 Interval Count Operation
When an internal clock is selected with the CKS1 and CKS0 bits in CMCSR and the STR bit in
CMSTR is set to 1, CMCNT starts incrementing using the selected clock. When the values in
CMCNT and CMCOR match, CMCNT is cleared to H'0000 and the CMF flag in CMCSR is set to
1. CMCNT then starts counting up again from H'0000.
Figure 17.2 shows the operation of the compare match counter.

17.3.2 CMCNT Count Timing
One of four internal clocks (Pφ/4, Pφ/8, Pφ/16, and Pφ/64) obtained by dividing the Pφ clock can
be selected with bits CKS1 and CKS0 in CMCSR. Figure 17.3 shows the timing.
