8.4 TIMERS
This microcomputer has 6 timers: timer 1, timer 2, timer 3, timer 4,
timer 5, and timer 6. All timers are 8-bit timers with the 8-bit timer
latch. The timer block diagram is shown in Figure 8.4.3.
All of the timers count down and their divide ratio is 1/(n+1), where n
is the value of timer latch. By writing a count value to the correspond-
ing timer latch (addresses 00F016 to 00F316 : timers 1 to 4, addresses
00EE16 and 00EF16 : timers 5 and 6), the value is also set to a timer,
simultaneously.
The count value is decremented by 1. The timer interrupt request bit
is set to “1” by a timer overflow at the next count pulse, after the
count value reaches “0016”.
8.4.1 Timer 1
Timer 1 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• f(XIN)/4096 or f(XCIN)/4096
• External clock from the TIM2 pin
The count source of timer 1 is selected by setting bits 5 and 0 of
timer mode register 1 (address 00F416). Either f(XIN) or f(XCIN) is
selected by bit 7 of the CPU mode register.
Timer 1 interrupt request occurs at timer 1 overflow.
8.4.2 Timer 2
Timer 2 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• Timer 1 overflow signal
• External clock from the TIM2 pin
The count source of timer 2 is selected by setting bits 4 and 1 of
timer mode register 1 (address 00F416). Either f(XIN) or f(XCIN) is
selected by bit 7 of the CPU mode register. When timer 1 overflow
signal is a count source for the timer 2, the timer 1 functions as an 8-
bit prescaler.
Timer 2 interrupt request occurs at timer 2 overflow.
8.4.3 Timer 3
Timer 3 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• f(XCIN)
• External clock from the TIM3 pin
The count source of timer 3 is selected by setting bit 0 of timer mode
register 2 (address 00F516) and bit 6 at address 00C716. Either f(XIN)
or f(XCIN) is selected by bit 7 of the CPU mode register.
Timer 3 interrupt request occurs at timer 3 overflow.
8.4.4 Timer 4
Timer 4 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• f(XIN)/2 or f(XCIN)/2
• f(XCIN)
The count source of timer 3 is selected by setting bits 1 and 4 of the
timer mode register 2 (address 00F516). Either f(XIN) or f(XCIN) is
selected by bit 7 of the CPU mode register. When timer 3 overflow
signal is a count source for the timer 4, the timer 3 functions as an 8-
bit prescaler.
Timer 4 interrupt request occurs at timer 4 overflow.
8.4.5 Timer 5
Timer 5 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• Timer 2 overflow signal
• Timer 4 overflow signal
The count source of timer 3 is selected by setting bit 6 of timer mode
register 1 (address 00F416) and bit 7 of the timer mode register 2
(address 00F516). When overflow of timer 2 or 4 is a count source
for timer 5, either timer 2 or 4 functions as an 8-bit prescaler. Either
f(XIN) or f(XCIN) is selected by bit 7 of the CPU mode register.
Timer 5 interrupt request occurs at timer 5 overflow.
8.4.6 Timer 6
Timer 6 can select one of the following count sources:
• f(XIN)/16 or f(XCIN)/16
• Timer 5 overflow signal
The count source of timer 6 is selected by setting bit 7 of the timer
mode register 1 (address 00F416). Either f(XIN) or f(XCIN) is selected
by bit 7 of the CPU mode register. When timer 5 overflow signal is a
count source for timer 6, the timer 5 functions as an 8-bit prescaler.
Timer 6 interrupt request occurs at timer 6 overflow.
At reset, timers 3 and 4 are connected by hardware and “FF16” is
automatically set in timer 3; “0716” in timer 4. The f(XIN) ^✽ /16 is se-
lected as the timer 3 count source. The internal reset is released by
timer 4 overflow in this state and the internal clock is connected.
At execution of the STP instruction, timers 3 and 4 are connected by
hardware and “FF16” is automatically set in timer 3; “0716” in timer 4.
However, the f(XIN) ^✽ /16 is not selected as the timer 3 count source.
So set both bit 0 of timer mode register 2 (address 00F516) and bit 6
at address 00C716 to “0” before the execution of the STP instruction
(f(XIN) ^✽ /16 is selected as timer 3 count source). The internal STP
state is released by timer 4 overflow in this state and the internal
clock is connected.
As a result of the above procedure, the program can start under a
stable clock.
✽: When CPU Mode Register bit 7 (CM7) = 1, f(XIN) becomes f(XCIN).
The timer-related registers is shown in Figures 8.4.1 and 8.4.2.
The input path for the TIM2 pin can be selected between ports P16 or
P24. Use Port P3 Direction Register (address 00C716) bit 7 to select
either port.
