Interrupts

10.5.1

Interrupt Sources and Priority Ranking

The MTU has three interrupt sources: TGR register compare-match/input captures, TCNT counter

overflows and TCNT counter underflows. Because each of these three types of interrupts are

allocated its own dedicated status flag and enable/disable bit, the issuing of interrupt request

signals to the interrupt controller can be independently enabled or disabled.

When an interrupt source is generated, the corresponding status flag in the timer status register

(TSR) is set to 1. If the corresponding enable/disable bit in the timer input enable register (TIER)

is set to 1 at this time, the MTU makes an interrupt request of the interrupt controller. The

interrupt request is canceled by clearing the status flag to 0.

The channel priority order can be changed with the interrupt controller. The priority ranking

within a channel is fixed. For more information, see section 6, Interrupt Controller.

Table 10.13 lists the MTU interrupt sources.

Input Capture/Compare Match Interrupts: If the TGIE bit of the timer input enable register

(TIER) is already set to 1 when the TGF flag in the timer status register (TSR) is set to 1 by a

TGR register input capture/compare-match of any channel, an interrupt request is sent to the

interrupt controller. The interrupt request is canceled by clearing the TGF flag to 0. The MTU has

8 input capture/compare-match interrupts; four for channel 0, and two each for channels 1 and 2.

Overflow Interrupts: If the TCIEV bit of the TIER is already set to 1 when the TCFV flag in the

TSR is set to 1 by a TCNT counter overflow of any channel, an interrupt request is sent to the

interrupt controller. The interrupt request is canceled by clearing the TCFV flag to 0. The MTU

has three overflow interrupts, one for each channel.

Underflow Interrupts: If the TCIEU bit of the TIER is already set to 1 when the TCFU flag in

the TSR is set to 1 by a TCNT counter underflow of any channel, an interrupt request is sent to the

interrupt controller. The interrupt request is canceled by clearing the TCFU flag to 0. The MTU

has two underflow interrupts, one each for channels 1 and 2.
