CHAPTER 6 16-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTER 00
User’s Manual U16898EJ3V0UD

(1) Pulse width measurement with free-running counter and one capture register
Specify both the rising and falling edges as the valid edges of the TI000 pin, by using bits 4 and 5 (ES000 and
ES010) of PRM00.
When 16-bit timer counter 00 (TM00) is operated in free-running mode, and the valid edge specified by
PRM00 is input, the value of TM00 is taken into 16-bit timer capture/compare register 010 (CR010) and an
external interrupt request signal (INTTM010) is set.
Sampling is performed using the count clock selected by PRM00, and a capture operation is only performed
when a valid level of the TI000 pin is detected twice, thus eliminating noise with a short pulse width.
Caution The measurable pulse width in this operation example is up to 1 cycle of the timer counter.
