9. Timer
9.1 Overview
This LSI includes 2 channels of 8-bit timers.
For input clocks, see Chapter 6, “Clock Generation Circuit”.
9.1.1 Features
•
The timer interrupt (TMnINT) is generated when the values of timer counter register (TMnC, n=2, 3) and timer
data register (TMnD) coincide.
•
A timer configured by combining timer 2 and timer 3 can be used as a 16-bit timer.
•
For the timer clock, the low-speed clock (LSCLK), high-speed time base clock (HTBCLK), or external clock can
be selected.
•
A 16bit-timer 2 & 3 has clock frequency measurement mode, which can count HTBCLK and generates the
timer interrupt (TM3INT) when the count ends.
Using the count data to know the frequency by software can determine more accurate baud-rate.
9.1.2 Configuration
Figure 9-1 shows the configuration of the timers.
