TIMER A
7.5 One-shot pulse mode
7.5 One-shot pulse mode
Timer Aj (j = 0 to 2, 4, 9) is equipped with the one-shot pulse mode. In this mode, the timer outputs a pulse
which has an arbitrary width once.
When a trigger occurs, the timer outputs “H” level from the TAjOUT pin for an arbitrary time. Table 7.5.1 lists
the specifications of the one-shot pulse mode. Figure 7.5.1 shows the structures of the timer Aj register and
timer Aj mode register in the one-shot pulse mode.
Each of timers A3, A5 to A8 is not equipped with this mode.

ꢀ Countdown
ꢀ When the counter value becomes “000016,” reload register’s con-
tents are reloaded, and counting stops.
ꢀ If a trigger occurs during counting, reload register’s contents are
reloaded, and counting continues.

Read from timer Aj register
Write to timer Aj register
An undefined value is read out.
ꢀ While counting is stopped
When a value is written to timer Aj register, it is written to both of
the reload register and counter.
ꢀ While counting is in progress
When a value is written to timer Aj register, it is written only to the
reload register. (Transferred to counter at the next reload timing.)
Note: The trigger is generated with the count start bit = “1.”
