CHAPTER 6 16-BIT TIMER
6.4 16-Bit Timer Operation
6.4.1 Operation as timer interrupt
In the timer interrupt function, interrupts are repeatedly generated at the count value preset in 16-bit compare
register 90 (CR90) based on the intervals of the value set in TCL901 and TCL900.
To operate the 16-bit timer as a timer interrupt, the following settings are required.
• Set count values in CR90
• Set 16-bit timer mode control register 90 (TMC90) as shown in Figure 6-5.

Setting of count clock (see Table 6-2)
Caution If both the CPT901 and CPT900 flags are set to 0, the capture operation is prohibited.
When the count value of 16-bit timer counter 90 (TM90) matches the value set in CR90, counting of TM90
continues and an interrupt request signal (INTTM90) is generated.
Table 6-2 shows interval time, and Figure 6-6 shows timing of timer interrupt operation.
Caution When rewriting the value in CR90 during a count operation, be sure to execute the following
processing.
<1> Set interrupt disabled (set TMMK90 (bit 4 of interrupt mask flag register 1 (MK1)) to 1).
<2> Disable inversion control of timer output data (set TOC90 to 0)
If the value in CR90 is rewritten in the interrupt-enabled state, an interrupt request may occur at
the moment of rewrite.
