1. Timer Mode

In timer mode, the timer counts a count source generated internally. Table 1.13.1 lists specifications in
timer mode. Figure 1.13.7 shows TAiMR register in timer mode.

• Down-count
• When the timer underflows, it reloads the reload register contents and continues counting
1/(n+1) n: set value of TAiMR register
Set TAiS bit of TABSR register to "1" (start counting)
Set TAiS bit to "0" (stop counting)
Timer underflow
I/O port or gate input
I/O port or pulse output
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)
• Gate function
Counting can be started and stopped by an input signal to TAi
• Pulse output function
Whenever the timer underflows, the output polarity of TAi
When not counting, the pin outputs a low.
