CHAPTER 9 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 1, 2
9.1 Functions
8-bit timer/event counters 1 and 2 (TM1, TM2) have the following two modes.
•
Mode using 8-bit timer/event counters 1 and 2 (TM1, TM2) alone (discrete mode)
•
Mode using the cascade connection (16-bit resolution: cascade connection mode)
These two modes are described next.
(1) Mode using 8-bit timer/event counters 1 and 2 alone (discrete mode)
The timer operates as an 8-bit timer/event counter.
It can have the following functions.
•
Interval timer
•
External event counter
•
Square wave output
•
PWM output
(2) Mode using the cascade connection (16-bit resolution: cascade connection mode)
The timer operates as a 16-bit timer/event counter by connecting in cascade.
It can have the following functions.
•
Interval timer with 16-bit resolution
•
External event counter with 16-bit resolution
•
Square wave output with 16-bit resolution
