2.2.7 Operation of timer A (two-phase pulse signal process in event counter mode,
normal mode selected)
In processing two-phase pulse signals in event counter mode, choose functions from those listed in Table
2.2.6. Operations of the circled items are described below. Figure 2.2.16 shows the operation timing, and
Figure 2.2.17 shows the set-up procedure.

(1) Setting the count start flag to "1" causes the counter to count effective edges of the count
source.
(2) Even if an underflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count
continues. At this time, the timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to "1".
(3) Even if an overflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count
continues. At this time, the timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to "1".
• The up count or down count conditions are as follows:
If a rising edge is present at the TAi
an up count is performed.
If a falling edge is present at the TAi
a down count is performed.
