If the corresponding TIER bit is set to 1 at this time, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU. After
the compare-match, TCNT starts counting up again from H'0000 (H'0001 in channels 6 and 7).
Figure 11.14 shows the operation when channel 3 is used as a cyclic counter (with a cycle setting
of H'0008).

11.3.3 Compare-Match Function
Designating general registers in channels 1 to 5 and 11 (GR1A to GR1H, GR2A to GR2H, GR3A
to GR3D, GR4A to GR4D, GR5A to GR5D, GR11A, GR11B) for compare-match operation in the
timer I/O control registers (TIOR1 to TIOR5, TIOR11) enables compare-match output to be
performed at the corresponding external pins (TIO1A to TIO1H, TIO2A to TIO2H, TIO3A to
TIO3D, TIO4A to TIO4D, TIO5A to TIO5D, TIO11A, TIO11B).
A free-running counter (TCNT) starts counting up when 1 is set in the timer status register
(TSTR). When the desired number is set beforehand in GR, and the TCNT value matches the GR
value, the timer status register (TSR) bit corresponding to GR is set and a waveform is output
from the corresponding external pin.
1 output, 0 output, or toggle output can be selected by means of a setting in TIOR. If the
appropriate interrupt enable register (TIER) setting is made, an interrupt request will be sent to the
CPU when a compare-match occurs.
To perform internal interrupts by compare-match or compare-match flag polling processing
without performing compare-match output, designate the corresponding compare-match output
pin as a general I/O pin and select 1 output, 0 output, or toggle output on compare-match in TIOR.
Channel 1 and 2 compare-match registers (OCR1, OCR2A to OCR2H) perform compare-match
operations unconditionally. However, there are no corresponding output pins. If the appropriate
TIER setting is made, an interrupt request will be sent to the CPU when a compare-match occurs.
