III-7 CLOCK TIMER

Configuration of Clock Timer

The clock timer consists of an 8-bit binary counter that is clocked by a 256-Hz signal derived from the low-speed
(OSC1) oscillation clock f
seconds, minutes, hours, and day) to be read out in a software. It can also generate an interrupt using a 32-Hz, 8-Hz,
2-Hz, or 1-Hz (1-second) signal or when a one-minute, one-hour, or one-day count is up, in addition to generating an
alarm at a specified time (minute or hour) or day.
The low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit and the clock timer can be kept operating even when the CPU and other
internal peripheral circuits are placed in standby mode (HALT or SLEEP).
Normally, this clock timer should be used for a clock and various other clocking functions.
Figure 7.1 shows the structure of the clock timer.
Note: Since the clock timer is driven by a clock originating from the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit,
this timer cannot be used unless the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit (32.768 kHz, Typ.) is
used.
