14.1.5 Pulse Period Measurement Mode
Pulse period measurement mode is mode to measure the pulse period of an external signal which inputs from
the INT1
/TRAIO pin (see Table 14.6 Pulse Period Measurement Mode Specifications).
Figure 14.11 shows the TRAIOC Register in Pulse Period Measurement Mode and Figure 14.12 shows the
Operating Example of Pulse Period Measurement Mode.
NOTE:
1. Input the pulse whose period is longer than twice of the timer RA prescaler period. Input the longer
pulse for “H” width and “L” width than the timer RA prescaler period. If the shorter pulse than the
period is input to the TRAIO pin, the input may be disabled.
Table 14.6 Pulse Period Measurement Mode Specifications
Item Specification
Count Sources f1, f2, f8, fOCO
Count Operations Decrement
After an active edge of measurement pulse is input, contents for the read-out
buffer are retained at the first underflow of timer RA prescaler. Then timer RA
reloads contents in the reload register at the second underflow of timer RA
prescaler and continues counting.
Count Start Condition Write 1 (count start) to the TSTART bit in the TRACR register
Count Stop Conditions Write 0 (count stop) to TSTART bit in the TRACR register
Write 1 (count forcibly stops) to the TSTOP bit in the TRACR register
Interrupt Request
Generation Timing
When timer RA underflows or reloads [timer RA interrupt]
Rising or falling of the TRAIO input (end of measurement period) [timer RA
interrupt]
INT1
/TRAIO Pin
Function
Measurement pulse input
(1)
(INT1 interrupt input)
TRAO Pin Function
Programmable I/O port
Read from Timer The count value can be read by reading the TRA and TRAPRE registers.
Write to Timer When registers TRAPRE and TRA are written while the count is stopped,
values are written to both the reload register and counter.
When registers TRAPRE and TRA are written during the count, values are
written to the reload register and counter (refer to 14.1.1.1 Timer Write
Control during Count Operation).
Select Functions
Measurement level select
The TEDGSEL bit in the TRAIOC register can select the measurement
period of input pulse.
Measurement pulse input pin select function
P1_7 or P1_5 is selected by the TIOSEL bit in the TRAIOC register.
Digital filter function
Bits TIPF0 and TIPF1 in the TRAIOC register enable or disable the digital
filter and select the sampling frequency.
