4.7.10 Response frequency of high-speed counters
1. Response frequency of hardware counters
The table below shows the maximum response frequency of hardware counters.
When hardware counters are handled as software counters in some operating conditions, their maximum response
frequency becomes equivalent to that of software counters, and thus hardware counters are some times subject to
restrictions in total frequency.
→
For the conditions in which hardware counters are handled as software counters,
refer to the previous page.
2. Response frequency and total frequency of software counters
The table below shows the maximum response frequency and total frequency of software counters.
When using the HSZ or HSCT instruction in a program, both the maximum response frequency and the total frequency
are limited for all software counters without regarding the operands of the instruction. When examining a system or
creating a program, consider the limitations, and use software counters within the allowable range of maximum
response frequency and total frequency.
→
For the conditions handled as software counters, refer to the previous page.

*1.
When an index register is added to a counter number specified by a HSCS, HSCR, HSZ or HSCT instruction,
all hardware counters are switched to software counters.
*2.
The high-speed counters C244 (OP) and C245 (OP) can count up to 10 kHz.
