2.2.2.5 Event Counter Mode with Free-run Type Selected
In event counter mode, select functions from those listed in Table 2.5 . An example using the indicated
options is described below. Figure 2.15 shows the operation timing, and Figure 2.16 shows the set-up
procedure.
Table 2.5: Timer A event counter mode and free-run type functions
Note j = i - 1, but j = 4 when i = 0
Operation
(1) Setting the count start flag to “1” causes the counter to count the falling edges of the count source.
(2) Even if an underflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count con-
tinues. At this time, the Timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to “1”.
(3) If switching from an up count to a down count or vice versa while a count is in progress, the switch
takes effect from the next effective edge of the count source.
(4) Even if an overflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count contin-
ues. At this time, the Timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to “1”.
