9.4.1 Interval Timer Function Operation
Interval timer function is the function which can generate the interrupts repeatedly at regular time intervals.
■ Clock Source Selection
The generation cycle of timer interrupts is set in advance by the clock source selection and the setting value of the
base register (TMnBR). The clock source can be selected by the timer as below.
Table:9.4.1 Clock Source at Timer Operating and 1 Count Time
*1 count time is calculated with the oscillation frequency as 10 MHz, 6 multiplication and IOCLK/=MCLK/2.
