2.2.13 Precautions for Timer A (event counter mode)
(1) To clear reset, the count start flag is set to "0". Set a value in the timer Ai register, then set the
flag to "1".
(2) Reading the timer Ai register while a count is in progress allows reading, with arbitrary timing,
the value of the counter. Reading the timer Ai register with the reload timing shown in Figure
2.2.29 gets "FFFF
setting a value in the timer Ai register with a count halted but before the counter starts count-
ing gets a proper value.
(3) Please note the standards for the differences between the 2 pulses used in the two-phase
pulse signals input signals to the TAi
2.2.30.
(4) When free run type is selected, if count is stopped, set a value in the timer Ai register again.
