In Mode 9, the timer generates an external signal at a preset rate. The signal period is equal to the period of one timer clock. After the counter reaches the value in the TCPR, if the TCSR[TRM] bit is set, the counter is loaded with the TLR value on the next timer clock and the count resumes. Therefore TRM = 1 is not useful for watchdog functions. If the TCSR[TRM] bit is cleared, the counter continues to increment on each subsequent timer clock. This process repeats until the timer is disabled (that is, TCSR[TE] is cleared). If the counter overflows, a pulse is output on the TIO signal with a pulse width equal to the timer clock period. If the INV bit is set, the pulse polarity is high (logical 1). If INV is cleared, the pulse polarity is low (logical 0). The counter reloads when the TLR is written with a new value while the TCSR[TE] bit is set. In Mode 9, internal logic preserves the TIO value and direction for an additional 2.5 internal clock cycles after the hardware RESET signal is asserted. This convention ensures that a valid RESET signal is generated when the TIO signal resets the DSP56301.
