In one-shot timer mode, choose functions from those listed in Table 2.2.10. Operations of the circled
items are described below. Figure 2.2.22 shows the operation timing, and Figure 2.2.23 shows the set-up
procedure.

Operation
Note
Note: j = i – 1, but j = 4 when i = 0; k = i + 1, but k = 0 when i = 4.
(1) If the TAiIN pin input level changes from “L” to “H” with the count start flag set to “1”, the
counter performs a down count on the count source. At this time, the TAiOUT pin output level
goes to “H” level.
(2) If the value of the counter becomes “000016”, the TAiOUT pin outputs an “L” level, and the
counter reloads the content of the reload register and stops counting. At this time, the timer Ai
interrupt request bit goes to “1”.
(3) If a trigger occurs while a count is in progress, the counter reloads the value of the reload
register again and continues counting. The reload timing is in step with the next count source
input after the trigger.
(4) Setting the count start flag to “0” causes the counter to stop and to reload the content of the
reload register. Also, the TAiOUT pin outputs an “L” level. At this time, the timer Ai interrupt
request bit goes to “1”.
When the timer Ai register is set to “000016”, the counter does not operate and the timer Ai
interrupt request is not generated. When the pulse is set to output, the pulse does not output
from the TAiOUT pin.
