8. Multi-Function Timer Pulse Unit (MTU)
Counter Clearing by another Channel: In complementary PWM mode, by setting a mode for
synchronization with another channel by means of the timer synchro register (TSYR), and
selecting synchronous clearing with bits CCLR2 to CCLR0 in the timer control register (TCR), it
is possible to have TCNT_3, TCNT_4, and TCNTS cleared by another channel.
Figure 8.49 illustrates the operation.
Use of this function enables counter clearing and restarting to be performed by means of an
external signal.

Example of AC Synchronous Motor (Brushless DC Motor) Drive Waveform Output: In
complementary PWM mode, a brushless DC motor can easily be controlled using the timer gate
control register (TGCR). Figures 8.50 to 8.53 show examples of brushless DC motor drive
waveforms created using TGCR.
When output phase switching for a 3-phase brushless DC motor is performed by means of external
signals detected with a Hall element, etc., clear the FB bit in TGCR to 0. In this case, the external
signals indicating the polarity position are input to channel 0 timer input pins TIOC0A, TIOC0B,
