7.4 Operations of 8-Bit Timer/Event Counters 50 and 51
7.4.1 Operation as interval timer
8-bit timer/event counter 5n operates as an interval timer that generates interrupt requests repeatedly at intervals
of the count value preset to 8-bit timer compare register 5n (CR5n).
When the count value of 8-bit timer counter 5n (TM5n) matches the value set to CR5n, counting continues with the
TM5n value cleared to 0 and an interrupt request signal (INTTM5n) is generated.
The count clock of TM5n can be selected with bits 0 to 2 (TCL5n0 to TCL5n2) of timer clock selection register 5n
(TCL5n).
Setting
<1> Set the registers.
•
TCL5n: Select the count clock.
•
CR5n: Compare value
•
TMC5n: Stop the count operation, select the mode in which clear & start occurs on a match of TM5n
and CR5n.

<2> After TCE5n = 1 is set, the count operation starts.
<3> If the values of TM5n and CR5n match, INTTM5n is generated (TM5n is cleared to 00H).
<4> INTTM5n is generated repeatedly at the same interval.
Set TCE5n to 0 to stop the count operation.
Caution Do not write other values to CR5n during operation.
Remarks 1. For how to enable the INTTM5n signal interrupt, see CHAPTER 13 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS .
