The timer mode register A (TMA) works to control the interrupts of timer A and to select the input
clock.
TMA is an 8-bit read/write register. When reset, the TMA will be initialized to H'30.
Bit 7 Timer A Overflow Flag (TMAOV): This is a status flag indicating the fact that the TCA
is overflowing (H'FF → H'00).
Bit 7
TMAOV
Description
0
[Clearing conditions]
When 0 is written to the TMAOV flag after reading the TMAOV flag under the status
where TMAOV = 1
1
[Setting conditions]
When the TCA overflows
Bit 6 Enabling Interrupt of the Timer A (TMAIE): This bit works to permit/prohibit
occurrence of interrupt of the Timer A (TMAI) when the TCA overflows and when the TMAOV
of the TMA is set to 1.
Bit 6
TMAIE
Description
0
Prohibits occurrence of interrupt of the Timer A (TMAI)
1
