Timer Ai register (Note 1)
W
R
Timer mode
000016 to FFFF16
Counts an internal count source
Function
Values that can be set
Event counter mode
000016 to FFFF16
Counts pulses from an external source or timer overflow
One-shot timer mode
000016 to FFFF16
Counts a one shot width
(Note 2,4)
Pulse width modulation mode (16-bit PWM)
Functions as a 16-bit pulse width modulator
Pulse width modulation mode (8-bit PWM)
Timer low-order address functions as an 8-bit
prescaler and high-order address functions as an 8-bit
pulse width modulator
000016 to FFFE16
(Note 3,4)
Note 1: Read and write data in 16-bit units.
Note 2: When the timer Ai register is set to “000016”, the counter does not
operate and the timer Ai interrupt request is not generated. When
the pulse is set to output, the pulse does not output from the TAiOUT
pin.
Note 3: When the timer Ai register is set to “000016”, the pulse width
modulator does not operate and the output level of the TAiOUT pin
remains “L” level, therefore the timer Ai interrupt request is not
generated. This also occurs in the 8-bit pulse width modulator mode
when the significant 8 high-order bits in the timer Ai register are set
to “0016”.
Note 4: Use MOV instruction to write to this register.
0016 to FE16
(High-order address)
0016 to FF16
(Low-order address)
(Note 3,4)
Note 1: Use MOV instruction to write to this register.
Note 2: Set the TAiIN and TAiOUT pins correspondent port direction registers to “0”.
