Disabled—TOUTx is disabled and three-stated.

Toggle Mode—If the timer is disabled (SWR = 0) when this encoding is programmed, TOUTx is immediately set to zero. If the timer is enabled (SWR = 1), timeout events (counter reaches $0000) toggle TOUTx. In the input capture/output compare mode, TOUTx is immediately set to zero if the timer is disabled (SWR = 0). If the timer is enabled (SWR = 1), timer compare events toggle TOUTx. (Timer compare events occur when the counter reaches the value stored in the COM.)

Zero Mode—If the timer is disabled (SWR = 0) when this encoding is programmed, TOUTx is immediately set to zero. If the timer is enabled (SWR = 1), TOUTx will be set to zero at the next timeout. In the input capture/output compare mode, TOUTx is immediately set to zero if the timer is disabled (SWR = 0). If the timer is enabled (SWR

=1), TOUTx will be set to zero at timeouts and set to one at timer compare events. If the COM is $0000, TOUTx will be set to zero at the timeout/timer compare event.

One Mode—If the timer is disabled (SWR = 0) when this encoding is programmed, TOUTx is immediately set to one. If the timer is enabled (SWR = 1), TOUTx will be set to one at the next timeout. In the input capture/output compare mode, TOUTx is immediately set to one if the timer is disabled (SWR = 0). If the timer is enabled (SWR = 1), TOUTx will be set to one at timeouts and set to zero at timer compare events. If the COM is $0000, TOUTx will be set to one at the timeout/timer compare event.

8.4.4 Status Register (SR)

The SR contains timer status information as well as the state of the prescaler. This register is updated on the rising edge of the system clock when a read of its location is not in progress, allowing the most current information to be contained in this register. The register can be read, and the TO, TG, and TC bits can be written when the timer module is enabled (i.e., the STP bit in the MCR is cleared).

IRQ—Interrupt Request bit

The positioning of this bit in the most significant location in this register allows it it be conditionally tested as if it were a signed binary integer.

1 = An interrupt condition has occurred. This bit is the logical OR of the enabled TO, TG, and TC interrupt bits.

0 = The bit(s) that caused the interrupt condition has been cleared. If an IRQ≈ signal has been asserted, it is negated when this bit is cleared.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
