Event Counter Mode (When Processing Two-Phase Pulse Signal)

Timers A2, A3, and A4 can be used to count two-phase pulse signals. Table 17.10 lists Event Counter
Mode Specifications (When Processing Two-Phase Pulse Signal with Timers A2, A3, and A4). Table
17.11 lists Registers and the Setting in Event Counter Mode (When Processing Two-Phase Pulse
Signal).

Two-phase pulse signals input to the TAiIN or TAiOUT pin
•
Increment or decrement can be selected by a two-phase pulse signal.
•
When the timer overflows or underflows, it reloads the reload register value and
continues counting. When selecting free-run type, the timer continues counting
without reloading.
When selecting reload type:
•
FFFFh - n + 1 when incrementing
•
n + 1 when decrementing
n: setting value of the TAi register, 0000h to FFFFh
Set the TAiS bit in the TABSR register to 1 (start counting).
Set the TAiS bit to 0 (stop counting).
Timer overflow or underflow
Two-phase pulse input
Two-phase pulse input
Count value can be read by reading timer A2, A3, or A4 register.
•
When not counting
Value written to the TAi register is written to both the reload register and counter.
•
When counting
Value written to the TAi register is written to only reload register
(transferred to counter when reloaded next).
•
Select normal or multiply-by-4 processing operation (timer A3).
•
Counter initialization by Z-phase input (timer A3)
The timer count value is initialized to 0 by Z-phase input.
