Timer A
2.21.3 One-shot timer mode
In this mode, the timer operates only once (See Table 1.20 ). When a trigger occurs, the timer starts
up and continues operating for a given period. Figure 1.66 shows the timer Ai mode register in one-
shot mode.

Count source
f1, f8, f32
Count operation
The timer counts down
When the count reaches 0000
16
, the timer stops counting after reloading a new count
If a trigger occurs when counting, the timer reloads a new count and restarts counting
Divide ratio
1/n n: Set value
Count start condition
An external trigger is input
The selected timer overflows
The one-shot start flag is set (= 1)
Count stop condition
A new count is reloaded after the count has reached 0000
16
The count start flag is reset (= 0)
Interrupt request
generation tim
ing
The count reaches 0000

TAiIN pin function
Programmable I/O port or trigger input
TAiOUT pin function
Programmable I/O port or pulse output
Read from timer
When timer Ai register is read, it indicates an indeterminate value
Write to timer
When counting is stopped and a value is written to timer Ai register, it is written to both
reload register and counter
When counting is in progress and a value is written to timer Ai register, it is written to the
reload register to be transferred to counter at next load time

). If timer overflow is selected, this bit can be “1” or “0”.
Note 3: Set the corresponding port direction register to “0”.
