CHAPTER 6 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 5 AND 6
6.4.2 External event counter operation
The external event counter counts the number of external clock pulses to be input to the TI5/PI00/TO5 and TI6/
P101/TO6 pins with 8-bit timer registers 5 and 6 (TM5 and TM6).
TM5 and TM6 are incremented each time the valid edge specified with the timer clock select register 5 and 6 (TCL5
and TCL6) is input. Either the rising or falling edge can be selected.
When the TM5 and TM6 counted values match the values of 8-bit compare registers 50 and 60 (CR50 and CR60),
TM5 and TM6 are cleared to 0 and the interrupt request signals (INTTM5 and INTTM6) are generated.
