Timer L Mode Register (LMR)
Bit :
Initial value :
R/W :
R /(W)*
Note: * Only 0 can be written to clear the flag.
The timer L mode register A (LMR) is an 8-bit read/write register which works to control the
interrupts, to select between up-counting and down-counting and to select the clock source. When
reset, the LMR is initialized to H'30.
Bit 7 Timer L Interrupt Requesting Flag (LMIF): This is the Timer L interrupt requesting
flag. It indicates occurrence of overflow or underflow of the LTC or occurrence of compare
match clear.
Bit 7
LMIF
Description
0
[Clearing conditions]
When 0 is written after reading 1
1
[Setting conditions]
When the LTC overflows, underflows or when compare match clear has occurred
Bit 6 Enabling Interrupt of the Timer L (LMIE): This bit works to permit/prohibit
occurrence of interrupt of timer L when the LTC overflows, underflows or when compare match
clear has occurred.
Bit 6
LMIE
Description
0
Prohibits occurrence of interrupt of Timer L
1
Permits occurrence of interrupt of Timer L
Bits 5 and 4 Reserved: These bits cannot be modified and are always read as 1.
Bit 3 Up-Count/Down-Count Control (LMR3): This bit is for selection if timer L is to be
controlled to the up-counting function or down-counting function.
