Timer Modes of Operation
DSP56366 24-Bit Digital Signal Processor User Manual, Rev. 4
Freescale Semiconductor 11-19
The duty cycle of the TIO0 signal is determined by the value in the TCPR. When the value in the TLR is
incremented to a value equal to the value in the TCPR, the TIO0 signal is toggled. The duty cycle is equal
to ($FFFFFF – TCPR) divided by ($FFFFFF − TLR + 1). For a 50% duty cycle, the value of TCPR is equal
to ($FFFFFF + TLR + 1) / 2.
NOTE
The value in TCPR must be greater than the value in TLR.
11.4.4 Watchdog Modes

11.4.4.1 Watchdog Pulse (Mode 9)

In this mode, the timer generates an interrupt at a preset rate. Timer 0 also generates pulse on TIO0. The
signal period is equal to the period of one timer clock.
Set the TE bit to clear the counter and enable the timer. The value the timer is to count is loaded into the
TCPR. The counter is loaded with the TLR value on the first timer clock received from either the
DSP56366 internal clock divided by two (CLK/2) or the prescaler clock output. Each subsequent timer
clock increments the counter.
When the counter matches the value of the TCPR, the TCF bit in the TCSR is set and a compare interrupt
is generated if the TCIE bit is also set.
If the TRM bit is set, the counter is loaded with the TLR value on the next timer clock and the count is
resumed. If the TRM bit is cleared, the counter continues to be incremented on each subsequent timer
clock.
This process is repeated until the timer is disabled (i.e., TE is cleared).
If the counter overflows, the TOF bit is set, and if TOIE is set, an ov erflow interrupt is generated. Timer 0
also generates an output pulse on the TIO0 signal with a pulse width equal to the timer clock period. The
pulse polarity is determined by the value of the INV bit. If the INV bit is set, the pulse polarity is high
(logical 1). If the INV bit is cleared, the pulse polarity is low (logical 0).
The counter contents can be read at any time by reading the TCR.
The counter is reloaded whenever the TLR is written with a new value while the TE bit is set.
NOTE
In this mode, internal logic preserves the TIO0 value and direction for an
additional 2.5 internal clock cycles after the DSP56366 hardware RESET
signal is asserted. This ensures that a valid RESET signal is generated when
the TIO0 signal is used to reset the DSP56366.
