CHAPTER 9 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS
9.1 8-Bit Timer/Event Counter Function
The on-chip 8-bit timer/event counters of the
µ
PD78058F, 78058FY Subseries have two modes: a mode in which
the two 8-bit timer/event counter channels are separately used (8-bit timer/event counter mode), and a mode in which
the two 8-bit timer/event counter channels are used combined as a 16-bit timer/event counter (16-bit timer/event
counter mode).
9.1.1 8-bit timer/event counter mode
The 8-bit timer/event counters 1 and 2 (TM1 and TM2) have the following functions.
• Interval timer
• External event counter
