TIMER B
Figure 35 shows a block diagram of timer B.
Timer B has three modes: timer mode, event counter mode, and
pulse period measurement/pulse width measurement mode. The
mode is selected with bits 0 and 1 of the timer Bi mode register (i=0
to 2). Each of these modes is described below.
(1) Timer mode [00]
Figure 36 shows the bit configuration of the timer Bi mode register
during timer mode. Bits 0 and 1 of the timer Bi mode register must
always be “0” in timer mode.
Bits 6 and 7 are used to select the clock source. The counting of the
selected clock starts when the count start bit is “1” and stops when
“0”.
As shown in Figure 19, the timer Bi count start bit is at the same ad-
dress as the timer Ai count start bit. The count is decremented, an
interrupt occurs, and the interrupt request bit in the timer Bi interrupt
control register is set when the contents becomes 0000
16
. At the
same time, the contents of the reload register is stored in the counter
and count is continued.
Timer Bi does not have a pulse output function or a gate function like
timer A.
When data is written to timer Bi halted, it is written to the reload reg-
ister and the counter. When data is written to timer Bi which is busy,
the data is written to the reload register, but not to the counter. The
new data is reloaded from the reload register to the counter at the
next reload time and counting continues.
The contents of the counter can be read at any time.
