Operation of Pulse Width Measurement Function

Time cycle between arbiter events of input pulse can be measured by the time.
Operation of Pulse Width Measurement Function
The pulse width measurement function does not start the count until the set measurement start edge is input
after it is started. Starts the count up after clearing the timer to be 0000
stops the count when detecting the stop edge. The value counted in this period is registered as the pulse
width. When the measurement ends, the interruption is detected.
Operates as follows depending on the measurement mode after the measurement.
• Single measurement mode: Suspends the operation.
• Continuous measurement mode: The timer value is transferred to the buffer register and the
Figure 15.3-2 and Figure 15.3-3 show the single measurement mode operation and the continuous measurement
mode operation, respectively.
