4-3 16-bit Timer Operation (timer 4)
4-3-1 Overview
Timer 4 is a 16-bit programmable counter that can be used as an event counter.
A signal with frequency of 1/2 of the timer 4 overflow signal can be output from the
TM4IO pin. An input capture function and added pulse PWM output function can
also be used.
■ Timer Operation
Settings for timer operation are listed below.
(1) Set the TM4EN flag of the timer 4 mode register (TM4MD) to "0" so that the count
operation of timer 4 is stopped.
(2) Set the TM4CK2~0 flags of the TM4MD register to select fosc, fs/4, or fs/16 as the
clock source.
(3) Set the TM4PWM flag of the TM4MD register to "0" so that 16-bit timer operation is
selected.

16-bit Timer Operation (timer 4)
When servicing an interrupt, reset
the timer 4 interrupt request flag
before operating timer 4.
During a count operation, be
careful if the value set in TM4OCH
and TM4OCL is smaller than the
value of binary counter 4, since
the count-up operation will
continue until overflow occurs. Clock

If the TM4EN flag of the TM4MD register is changed
simultaneously with other bits, the switching operation may cause
binary counter 4 to be incremented.
If the value of TM4OCH and TM4OCL registers is overwritten while
timer 4 has stopped counting, binary counter 4 will be reset to
X'0000'.
