(3) Timer output control register (TOC)
The TOC register is an 8-bit register for specifying the active level of timer output and for enabling/disabling
timer output.
The lower 4 bits control the timer output operation (on the TO0 and TO1 pins) of the 16-bit timer/counter. (The
higher 4 bits control the timer output operation (on the TO2 and TO3 pins) of 8-bit timer/counter 2.)
The TOC register allows only write operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-5 shows the
format of the TOC register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the TOC register is cleared to 00H.
