Event Counter Mode

In event counter mode, the timer counts pulses from an external device or overflows and underflows of other
timers. Timer A2, A3 and A4 can count two-phase external signals. Table 15.2 lists Specifications in Event Counter
Mode (when not processing two-phase pulse signal). Table 15.3 lists Specifications in Event Counter Mode (when
processing two-phase pulse signal with Timer A2, A3 and A4). Figure 15.9 shows TAiMR Register in Event
Counter Mode (when not using two-phase pulse signal processing). Figure 15.10 shows TA2MR to TA4MR
Registers in Event Counter Mode (when using two-phase pulse signal processing with Timer A2, A3 and A4).

• External signals input to TAiIN pin (i=0 to 4) (effective edge can be selected in
program)
• Timer B2 overflows or underflows,
Timer Aj (j=i-1, except j=4 if i=0) overflows or underflows,
Timer Ak (k=i+1, except k=0 if i=4) overflows or underflows
• Up-count or down-count can be selected by external signal or program
• When the timer overflows or underflows, it reloads the reload register contents
and continues counting. When operating in free-running mode, the timer
continues counting without reloading.
1/ (FFFFh - n + 1) for up-count
1/ (n + 1) for down-count n : set value of TAi register 0000h to FFFFh
Set TAiS bit in the TABSR register to "1" (= start counting)
Set TAiS bit to "0" (= stop counting)
Timer overflow or underflow
I/O port or count source input
I/O port, pulse output, or up/down-count select input
Count value can be read by reading TAi register
• When not counting and until the 1st count source is input after counting start
Value written to TAi register is written to both reload register and counter
• When counting (after 1st count source input)
Value written to TAi register is written to only reload register
(Transferred to counter when reloaded next)
• Free-run count function
Even when the timer overflows or underflows, the reload register content is
not reloaded to it
• Pulse output function
Whenever the timer underflows or underflows, the output polarity of TAiOUT
pin is inverted. When TAiS bit is set to "0" (stop counting), the pin outputs a
low.
