2.2.2.8 One-shot timer mode
In one-shot timer mode, select functions from those listed in Table 2.9 . An example using the indicated
options is described below. Figure 2.21 shows the operation timing, and Figure 2.22 shows the set-up
procedure.
Table 2.9: Timer A one-shot timer mode
Note: j = i - 1, but j = 4 when i = 0; k = i + 1, but k = 0 when i = 4
Operation
(1) Setting the one-shot start flag to “1” with the count start flag set to “1” causes the counter to perform
a down count on the count source. At this time, the TAi
OUT
pin outputs an “H” level.
(2) The instant the value of the counter becomes “0000
16
”, the TAi
OUT
pin outputs an “L” level, and
the counter reloads the content of the reload register and stops counting. At this time, the Timer Ai
interrupt request bit goes to “1”.
(3) If a trigger occurs while a count is in progress, the counter reloads the value in the reload register
again and continues counting. The reload timing is in step with the next count source input after the
trigger.
(4) Setting the count start flag to “0” causes the counter to stop and to reload the content of the reload
register. Also, the TAi
OUT
pin outputs an “L” level. At this time, the Timer Ai interrupt request bit goes
to “1”.
