22.9.1.3 Timer A (One-shot Timer Mode)
The timer remains idle after reset. Set the mode, count source, counter value, etc. using the TAiMR
(i = 0 to 4) register, the TAi register, the TA0TGL and TA0TGH bits in the ONSF register and the TRGSR
register before setting the TAiS bit in the TABSR register to 1 (count starts).
Always make sure the TAiMR register, the TA0TGL and TA0TGH bits and the TRGSR register are
modified while the TAiS bit remains 0 (count stops) regardless whether after reset or not.
When setting the TAiS bit to 0 (count stop), the followings occur:
A counter stops counting and a content of reload register is reloaded.
TAiOUT pin outputs L.
After one cycle of the CPU clock, the IR bit in the TAiIC register is set to 1 (interrupt request).
Output in one-shot timer mode synchronizes with a count source internally generated. When an external
trigger has been selected, one-cycle delay of a count source as maximum occurs between a trigger
input to TAiIN pin and output in one-shot timer mode.
The IR bit is set to 1 when timer operation mode is set with any of the following procedures:
Select one-shot timer mode after reset.
Change an operation mode from timer mode to one-shot timer mode.
Change an operation mode from event counter mode to one-shot timer mode.
To use the Timer Ai interrupt (the IR bit), set the IR bit to 0 after the changes listed above have been
made.
When a trigger occurs, while counting, a counter reloads the reload register to continue counting after
generating a re-trigger and counting down once. To generate a trigger while counting, generate a second
trigger between occurring the previous trigger and operating longer than one cycle of a timer count
source.
When the external trigger is selected as count start condition, do not input again the external trigger
between 300 ns before the counter reachs 0000h.
______
If a low-level signal is applied to the NMI pin when the IVPCR1 bit in the TB2SC register = 1 (three-
______
phase output forcible cutoff by input on NMI pin enabled), the TA1OUT, TA2OUT and TA4OUT pins go
to a high-impedance state.
