15.1.2

Event Counter Mode

In event counter mode, the timer counts overflows/underflows of another timer, or the external pulse input.

Timers A2, A3, and A4 can count externally generated two-phase signals.

Table 15.4 lists specifications of event counter mode when not handling two-phase pulse signals.

Table 15.5 lists specifications of event counter mode when handling two-phase pulse signals with timers A2,

A3, and A4. Figure 15.15 shows a event counter mode operation when not handling two-phase pulse signals.

Figure 15.16 shows a event counter mode operation when handling two-phase pulse signals with timers A2, A3,

and A4.

Table 15.4

Specifications of Event Counter Mode When Not Handling Two-Phase Pulse Signals

NOTE:

1. Wait for one or more count source cycles to write after the count starts.

Item

Specification

Count source

• External signal applied to the TAiIN pin (i = 0 to 4) (valid edge is selectable by

a program)

• Timer B2 overflows or underflows

• Timer Aj overflows or underflows (j = i - 1, except j = 4 if i = 0)

• Timer Ak overflows or underflows (k = i + 1 except k = 0 if i = 4)

Count operation

• Count direction (increment or decrement) can be selected by external signal or

by a program.

• Reload/Free-run type can be selected.

Reload function: The contents of the reload register are reloaded into the

counter and the count continues when the timer underflows or overflows.

Free-running function: The counter continues running without reloading when

the timer underflows or overflows.

Number of counting

(FFFFh - n + 1): when incrementing

n + 1: when decrementing

n: setting value of the TAi register, 0000h to FFFFh

Count start condition

The TAiS bit in the TABSR register is set to 1 (count starts)

Count stop condition

The TAiS bit is set to 0 (count stops)

Interrupt request generation timing When the timer overflows or underflows

TAiIN pin function

Count source input

TAiOUT pin function

Pulse output, or input to select the count direction

Read from timer

A read from the TAi register returns a counter value

Write to timer

• A write to the TAi register while the count is stopped:

The value is written to both the reload register and the counter.

• A write to the TAi register while counting:

The value is written to the reload register (It is transferred to the counter at the

next reload timing).(1)

Selectable function

Pulse output function

The polarity of the TAiOUT pin is inverted whenever the timer overflows or

underflows. The TAiOUT pin outputs “L” signal while the TAiS bit is 0 (count

stops).
