Usage Notes
Input Clock Restrictions:
The input clock pulse width must be at least 1.5 states in the case of single-edge detection, and at
least 2.5 states in the case of both-edge detection. The TPU will not operate properly with a
narrower pulse width.
In phase counting mode, the phase difference and overlap between the two input clocks must be at
least 1.5 states, and the pulse width must be at least 2.5 states. Figure 12.46 shows the input clock
conditions in phase counting mode.

Caution on Period Setting:
When counter clearing by compare match is set, TCNT is cleared in the final state in which it
matches the TGR value (the point at which the count value matched by TCNT is updated).
Consequently, the actual counter frequency is given by the following formula:
φ
f = ————
(N + 1)
Where f: Counter frequency
φ: Operating frequency
N: TGR set value
