9.2 Timer A
9.2.1 Overview
Timer A is an 8-bit timer with interval timing and real-time clock time-base functions. The clock
time-base function is available when a 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator is connected. A clock signal
divided from 32.768 kHz or from the system clock can be output at the TMOW pin.
1. Features
Features of timer A are given below.
• Choice of eight internal clock sources (ø/8192, ø/4096, ø/2048, ø/512, ø/256, ø/128, ø/32,
ø/8).
• Choice of four overflow periods (1 s, 0.5 s, 0.25 s, 31.25 ms) when timer A is used as a clock
time base (using a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator).
• An interrupt is requested when the counter overflows.
• Any of eight clock signals can be output from pin TMOW: 32.768 kHz divided by 32, 16, 8,
or 4 (1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz), or the system clock divided by 32, 16, 8, or 4.
