CHAPTER 9 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 1 AND 2
(3) Square-wave output operation
Operates as square wave output with any selected frequency at intervals of the count value preset to 8-bit
compare registers 10 and 20 (CR10, CR20). When setting the count value, set the value of higher 8 bits to
CR20 and the value of lower 8 bits to CR10.
The TO2/P32 pin output status is reversed at intervals of the count value preset to CR10 and CR20 by setting
bit 4 (TOE2) of the 8-bit timer output control register (TOC1) to 1. This enables a square wave with any selected
frequency to be output.
