TIMER A

[Precautions in event counter mode]

1. While counting is in progress, by reading out the timer Ai register, the counter value can be read at an

arbitrary timing. However, when reading is performed at the reload timing shown in Figure 6.4.11, value

“FFFF16” is read out at an underflow and value “000016” is read out at an overflow. If reading is performed

in the period from when a value is set into the timer Ai register with the counter stopped until the counter

starts counting, the set value is correctly read out.
