Table 1.14.3. Timer specifications in event counter mode (when processing two-phase pulse signal with timers A2, A3, and A4)
Item
Specification
Count source
• Two-phase pulse signals input to TAiIN or TAiOUT pin
Count operation
• Up count or down count can be selected by two-phase pulse signal
• When the timer overflows or underflows, the reload register content is
reloaded and the timer starts over again (Note 1)
Divide ratio
1/ (FFFF16 - n + 1) for up count
1/ (n + 1) for down count
n : Set value
Count start condition
Count start flag is set (= 1)
Count stop condition
Count start flag is reset (= 0)
Interrupt request generation timing Timer overflows or underflows
TAiIN pin function
Two-phase pulse input (Set the TAiIN pin correspondent port direction register to “0”.)
TAiOUT pin function
Two-phase pulse input (Set the TAiOUT pin correspondent port direction register to “0”.)
Read from timer
Count value can be read out by reading timer A2, A3, or A4 register
Write to timer
• When counting stopped
When a value is written to timer A2, A3, or A4 register, it is written to both
reload register and counter
• When counting in progress
When a value is written to timer A2, A3, or A4 register, it is written to only
reload register. (Transferred to counter at next reload time.)
Select function (Note 2) • Normal processing operation (timer A2 and timer A3)
The timer counts up rising edges or counts down falling edges on the TAiIN
pin when input signal on the TAiOUT pin is “H”.

• Multiply-by-4 processing operation (timer A3 and timer A4)
If the phase relationship is such that the TAiIN pin goes “H” when the input
signal on the TAiOUT pin is “H”, the timer counts up rising and falling edges
on the TAiOUT and TAiIN pins. If the phase relationship is such that the
TAiIN pin goes “L” when the input signal on the TAiOUT pin is “H”, the timer
counts down rising and falling edges on the TAiOUT and TAiIN pins.

Note 1: This does not apply when the free-run function is selected.
Note 2: Timer A3 alone can be selected. Timer A2 is fixed to normal processing operation, and timer A4
is fixed to multiply-by-4 processing operation.
