19. Usage Notes
19.7 Timer
19.7.1 Timer A
19.7.1.1 Timer A (Timer Mode)
1. The timer remains idle after reset. Set the mode, count source, counter value, etc. using the TAiMR
(i = 0 to 4) register and the TAi register before setting the TAiS bit in the TABSR register to “1” (count
starts).
Always make sure the TAiMR register is modified while the TAiS bit remains “0” (count stops)
regardless whether after reset or not.
2. While counting is in progress, the counter value can be read out at any time by reading the TAi
register. However, if the TAi register is read at the same time the counter is reloaded, the read value
is always “FFFF16”. If the TAi register is read after setting a value in it, but before the counter starts
counting, the read value is the one that has been set in the register.

3. If a low-level signal is applied to the SD pin when the IVPCR1 bit in the TB2SC register is set to “1”
_____
(three-phase output forcible cutoff by input on SD pin enabled), the TA1OUT, TA2OUT and TA4OUT
pins go to a high-impedance state.
19.7.1.2 Timer A (Event Counter Mode)
1. The timer remains idle after reset. Set the mode, count source, counter value, etc. using the TAiMR
(i = 0 to 4) register, the TAi register, the UDF register, the TAZIE, TA0TGL and TA0TGH bits in the
ONSF register and the TRGSR register before setting the TAiS bit in the TABSR register to “1”
(count starts).
Always make sure the TAiMR register, the UDF register, the TAZIE, TA0TGL and TA0TGH bits and
the TRGSR register are modified while the TAiS bit remains “0” (count stops) regardless whether
after reset or not.
2. While counting is in progress, the counter value can be read out at any time by reading the TAi
register. However, if the TAi register is read at the same time the counter is reloaded, the read value
is always “FFFF16” when the timer counter underflows and “000016” when the timer counter over-
flows. If the TAi register is read after setting a value in it, but before the counter starts counting, the
read value is the one that has been set in the register.

pins go to a high-impedance state.
