CHAPTER 5 PERIPHERAL HARDWARE FUNCTIONS
(2) Timer/event counter time setting
[Timer setup time] (cycle) is found by dividing [modulo register co 1] by [count pulse (CP)
frequency] selected by setting the mode register.
n+1
T (sec) = = (n + 1) · (resolution)
f
CP
T (sec) : Timer setup time (seconds)
f
CP
(Hz) : Count pulse frequency (Hz)
n : Modulo register content (n • 0)
Once the timer is set, interrupt request signal (IRQTn) is generated at the intervals set in the timer.
Table 5-6 lists the resolution and longest setup time (time when FFH is set in the modulo register) for each
count pulse to the timer/event counter.
