Section 7 16-Bit Timer Pulse Unit (TPU)
7.1

Overview

The H8S/2338 Series, H8S/2328 Series, and H8S/2318 Series have an on-chip 16-bit timer pulse
unit (TPU) that comprises six 16-bit timer channels.
7.1.1

Features

• Maximum 16-pulse input/output
 A total of 16 timer general registers (TGRs) are provided (four each for channels 0 and 3,
and two each for channels 1, 2, 4, and 5), each of which can be set independently as an
output compare/input capture register
 TGRC and TGRD for channels 0 and 3 can also be used as buffer registers
• Selection of 8 counter input clocks for each channel
• The following operations can be set for each channel:
 Waveform output at compare match: Selection of 0, 1, or toggle output
 Input capture function: Selection of rising edge, falling edge, or both edge detection
 Counter clear operation: Counter clearing possible by compare match or input capture
 Synchronous operation: Multiple timer counters (TCNT) can be written to simultaneously
Simultaneous clearing by compare match and input capture possible
Register simultaneous input/output possible by counter synchronous operation
 PWM mode: Any PWM output duty can be set
Maximum of 15-phase PWM output possible by combination with synchronous operation
• Buffer operation settable for channels 0 and 3
 Input capture register double-buffering possible
 Automatic rewriting of output compare register possible
• Phase counting mode settable independently for each of channels 1, 2, 4, and 5
 Two-phase encoder pulse up/down-count possible
• Cascaded operation
 Channel 2 (channel 5) input clock operates as 32-bit counter by setting channel 1 (channel
4) overflow/underflow
• Fast access via internal 16-bit bus
 Fast access is possible via a 16-bit bus interface
