CHAPTER 15 WATCH TIMER

15.1

Overview of Watch Timer

The watch timer is a 15-bit free-run counter that increments in synchronization with the
subclock.
• Eight interval times can be selected and an interrupt request can be generated for

each interval time.

• An operation clock can be supplied to the oscillation stabilization wait time timer of

the subclock and the watchdog timer.

• The subclock is always used as a count clock regardless of the settings of the clock

select register (CKSCR).

Interval Timer Function

When the watch timer reaches the interval time set by the interval time select bits (WTC:WTC2 to

WTC0), the bit corresponding to the interval time of the watch timer counter overflows (carries) and the

overflow flag bit is set (WTC:WTOF = 1).

When the overflow flag bit is set (WTC:WTOF = 1) with interrupt enabled when an overflow occurs

(WTC:WTIE = 1), an interrupt request is generated.

The interval time of the watch timer can be selected from eight types shown in Table 15.1-1 .

SCLK: Subclock frequency
The parenthesized values are provided when the subclock operates at 8.192 kHz. Please consider the frequency
difference of built-in CR oscillation when you use built-in CR oscillation clock as a sub-clock.
