5.4 BASIC INTERVAL TIMER
The
µ
PD75402A is equipped with an 8-bit basic interval timer which has the following functions:
(a) Standard time generation (2 different time intervals)
(b) Reading counter contents
This basic interval timer can also be used as a watchdog timer for the detection of inadvertent program looping.
5.4.1 Basic Interval Timer Configuration
The configuration of the basic interval timer is shown in Fig. 5-21.
