11.5.2 8-Bit Timer/Counter Mode
The 8-bit timer/counter mode is selected by control register as shown in Figure 11.6.
The 8-bit timer have counter and data register. The counter register is increased by internal or external clock
input. Timer 0 can use the input clock with one of 2, 4, 8, 32, 128, 512 and 2048 prescaler division rates
(T0CK[2:0]). When the value of T0CNT and T0DR is identical in timer 0, a match signal is generated and the
interrupt of Timer 0 occurs. T0CNT value is automatically cleared by match signal. It can be also cleared by
software (T0CC).
The external clock (EC0) counts up the timer at the rising edge. If the EC0 is selected as a clock source by
T0CK[2:0], EC0 port should be set to the input port by P52IO bit.
