7.2 8-BIT TIMER/COUNTER 1
7.2.1 Functions
Eight-bit timer/counter 1 can function as an interval timer and can also be used for pulse width measurement. In
addition to these basic functions, 8-bit timer/counter 1 can be used as a timer for generating an output trigger on
a real-time output port.
(1) Interval timer
When operating as an interval timer, 8-bit timer/counter 1 generates an internal interrupt at specified intervals.

(2) Pulse width measurement
Eight-bit timer/counter 1 measures the pulse width of a signal applied to the external interrupt request input
pin INTP0.
