CHAPTER 9 8-BIT TIMER/EVENT COUNTERS 1 AND 2
(3) Square-wave output operation
The 8-bit timer/event counters 1 and 2 operate as square wave outputs with any selected frequency at
intervals of the value preset to 8-bit compare registers (CR10 and CR20). To set the count value, set the
values of the higher 8 bits to CR20 and set the values of the 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.
