CHAPTER 4: PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND OPERATION (Clock Timer)
4.9.3 Interrupt function
The clock timer can cause interrupts at the falling edge of 32 Hz, 8 Hz, 2 Hz and 1 Hz signals. Software
can set whether to mask any of these frequencies.
Figure 4.9.3.1 is the timing chart of the clock timer.

Fig. 4.9.3.1 Timing chart of clock timer
As shown in Figure 4.9.3.1, interrupt is generated at the falling edge of the frequencies (32 Hz, 8 Hz, 2 Hz,
1 Hz). At this time, the corresponding interrupt factor flag (IT0, IT1, IT2, IT3) is set to "1". Selection of
whether to mask the separate interrupts can be made with the interrupt mask registers (EIT0, EIT1, EIT2,
EIT3). However, regardless of the interrupt mask register setting, the interrupt factor flag is set to "1" at
the falling edge of the corresponding signal.
