In reality, however, to avoid skipping the timer process in the above example, a delay is provided between
the negative-going edge of the timer carry FF set pulse and the negative-going edge of the timer interrupt
pulse, as shown in Fig. 12-10 (b).
As shown at (2) in Fig. 12-10, restricting the clock process to within 10 ms can eliminate skipping of a timer
interrupt that would otherwise be caused by a CE reset.

Timer carry FF set pulse
Timer interrupt pulse
Timer interrupt Because the timer carry FF set
pulse goes high, a CE reset occurs
here, thus skipping detection
of a timer interrupt once.

Because there is a delay of 10
ms between the negative-going
edge of the timer interrupt pulse
and the positive-going edge of
the timer carry FF set pulse, a CE
reset does not hamper the
normal timer processing,
provided that the timer interrupt
handling is finished within 10 ms.
