Bit 7
COnen
This bit disables the automatic CR oscillation stop function to enable continuous oscillation function.
1 (R/W): Enable continuous oscillation
0 (R/W): Disable continuous oscillation
For more information, refer to “CR Oscillation Frequency Monitoring Function.”
Bit 6
eVTen
This bit enables external clock input mode (event counter mode).
1 (R/W): External clock input mode
0 (R/W): Normal mode
For more information, refer to “Operating Modes.”
Note: Do not input an external clock before the RFC
n
CTL.EVTEN bit is set to 1. The RFIN
n
pin is
pulled down to V
SS
level when the port function is switched for the R/F converter.
Bits 5–4
SMODe[1:0]
These bits configure the oscillation mode. For more information, refer to “Operating Modes.”

Bit 0
MODen
This bit enables the RFC operations.
1 (R/W): Enable RFC operations (The operating clock is supplied.)
0 (R/W): Disable RFC operations (The operating clock is stopped.)
Note: If the RFC
n
CTL.MODEN bit is altered from 1 to 0 during R/F conversion, the counter value
being converted cannot be guaranteed. R/F conversion cannot be resumed.

SSenB
This bit controls CR oscillation for sensor B. This bit also indicates the CR oscillation status.
1 (W):
Start oscillation
0 (W):
Stop oscillation
1 (R):
Being oscillated
0 (R):
Stopped
Note: Writing 1 to the RFC

Bit 1
SSena
This bit controls CR oscillation for sensor A. This bit also indicates the CR oscillation status.
1 (W):
Start oscillation
0 (W):
Stop oscillation
1 (R):
Being oscillated
