Specification
Count source
f1, f8, f32, fC32
Count operation
The timer counts down (operating as an 8-bit or a 16-bit pulse width modulator)
The timer reloads a new count at a rising edge of PWM pulse and continues counting
The timer is not affected by a trigger that occurs when counting
16-bit PWM
High level width
n / fi
n : Set value
Cycle time
(216-1) / fi fixed
8-bit PWM
High level width n (m+1) / fi n : values set to timer Ai register’s high-order address
Cycle time (28-1)
(m+1) / fi m:values set to timer Ai register’s low-order address
Count start condition
External trigger is input
The timer overflows
The count start flag is set (= 1)
Count stop condition
The count start flag is reset (= 0)
Interrupt request generation timing PWM pulse goes “L”
TAiIN pin function
Programmable I/O port or trigger input
TAiOUT pin function
Pulse output Two-phase pulse input (Setting by corresponding port function
select register and peripheral function select register)
Read from timer
When timer Ai register is read, it indicates an indeterminate value
Write to timer
When counting stopped
When a value is written to timer Ai register, it is written to both reload
register and counter
When counting in progress
When a value is written to timer Ai register, it is written to only reload register
(Transferred to counter at next reload time)
(4) Pulse width modulation (PWM) mode
In this mode, the timer outputs pulses of a given width in succession. (See Table 1.13.5.) In this mode, the counter
functions as either a 16-bit pulse width modulator or an 8-bit pulse width modulator. Figure 1.13.11 shows the
timer Ai mode register in pulse width modulation mode. Figure 1.13.12 shows the example of how a 16-bit pulse
width modulator operates. Figure 1.13.13 shows the example of how an 8-bit pulse width modulator operates.

select bit
0: Functions as a 16-bit pulse width modulator
1: Functions as an 8-bit pulse width modulator
Trigger select bit
External trigger select
bit (Note 1)
0: Falling edge of TAiIN pin's input signal (Note 2)
1: Rising edge of TAiIN pin's input signal (Note 2)
0: Count start flag is valid
1: Selected by event/trigger select register
Note 1: Valid only when the TAiIN pin is selected by the event/trigger select bit
(addresses 034216 and 034316). If timer overflow is selected, this bit can be “1” or “0”.
Note 2: Set the corresponding port function select register to I/O port, and port direction
register to “0”.

This bit is invalid in M16C/80 series.
Port output control is set by the function select registers A and B.
