Operating Clock
The count source for each timer acts as a clock, controlling such timer operations as counting and
reloading.
If the conditions to start counting are met, the stopped counter starts counting at the count timing of the
first count source. For this reason, a delay exists between when the count start conditions are met and
the counter starts counting. Figure 15.4 shows Output Example of One-Shot Timer Mode.

Counter Reload Timing
Timer Ai starts counting from the value set (n) in the TAi register. The TAi register consists of a counter
and a reload register. The counter starts decrementing the count source from n, reloads a value in the
reload register at the next count source after the value becomes 0000h, and continues decrementing.
When incrementing, the counter reloads a value in the reload register at the next count source after the
value becomes FFFFh.
The value written in the TAi register is reflected in the counter and the reload register at the following
timings:
•
When the count is stopped
•
Between when the count starts and when the first count source is input
A value written to the TAi register is immediately written to the counter and the reload register.
•
After the count starts and the first count source is input
A value written to the TAi register is immediately written to the reload register. The counter
continues counting and reloads the value in the reload register at the next count source after the
value becomes 0000h (or FFFFh).
