9.3 Prescaler
9.3.1 Prescaler Operation
■ Prescaler operation
Prescaler outputs IOCLK/8 and IOCLK/64 with using IOCLK as an input clock and MCLK/8 with using MCLK
as an input clock.
■ Count Source and Prescaler
When IOCLK/8, IOCLK/64 or MCLK/8 is selected as a timer count source, the setting of the prescaler is neces-
sary. Table: 9.3.1 shows the count clock source and controlled registers.
Table:9.3.1 Count Source and Prescaler
When selecting MCLK or MCLK/8, the setting of the TMnCLKSEL register is necessary.
