6.3.4 Operation as basic interval timer
When WDTM is reset to “0”, the interrupt request flag (IRQBT) is set by the overflow of the basic interval timer
(BT), and the basic interval timer/watchdog timer operates as the basic interval timer. BT is always incremented by
the clock supplied by the clock generator and its counting operation cannot be stopped.
Four time intervals at which an interrupt occurs can be selected by BTM (
µ
PD754244 only. Refer to
Figure 6-
21
).
By setting bit 3 of BTM to “1”, BT and IRQBT can be cleared (command to start the interval timer).
The count value of BT can be read by using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. No data can be written to BT.
Start the timer operation as follows (<1> and <2> may be performed simultaneously).
<1> Set interval time to BTM.
<2> Set bit 3 of BTM to “1”.
Example
To generate an interrupt at intervals of the
µ
PD754244 of 1.37 ms (at f

= 6.0 MHz)

Note
It is 1.95 ms when the

= 4.19 MHz.
In the case of the
