10.1 Watch Timer Functions
The watch timer has the following functions.
• Watch timer
• Interval timer
The watch timer and the interval timer can be used simultaneously.
(1) Watch timer
When the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock is used, a flag (WTIF) is set at 0.5 second or 0.25 second intervals.
When the 4.19 MHz (standard: 4.194304 MHz) main system clock is used, a flag (WTIF) is set at 0.5 second
or 0.25 second intervals.
Caution 0.5-second intervals cannot be generated with the 5.0-MHz main system clock. You should
switch to the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock to generate 0.5-second intervals.
(2) Interval timer
Interrupt requests (INTTM3) are generated at the preset time interval.
