6.1 Functions of 16-Bit Timer/Event Counter 00
16-bit timer/event counter 00 has the following functions.
(1) Interval timer
16-bit timer/event counter 00 generates interrupt requests at the preset time interval.
•
Number of counts: 2 to 65536
(2) External event counter
16-bit timer/event counter 00 can measure the number of pulses with a high-/low-level width of valid level
pulse width or more of a signal input externally.
