5 PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND THEIR OPERATION (Programmable Timer)
To accept the subsequent interrupt after interrupt
generation, re-setting of the interrupt flags (set
interrupt flag to lower level than the level indicated
by the interrupt priority registers, or execute the
RETE instruction) and interrupt factor flag reset are
necessary. The interrupt factor flag is reset to "0" by
writing "1".
When the 16-bit mode is selected, the interrupt
factor flag FPT0 is not set to "1" and a timer 0
interrupt cannot be generated. (In the 16-bit mode,
the interrupt factor flag FPT1 is set to "1" by an
underflow of the 16-bit counter.)
At initial reset, this flag is reset to "0".

5.10.11 Programming notes

(1) The programmable timer is actually made to
RUN/STOP in synchronization with the falling
edge of the input clock after writing to the
PRUN0(1) register. Consequently, when "0" is
written to the PRUN0(1), the timer shifts to
STOP status when the counter is decremented
"1". The PRUN0(1) maintains "1" for reading
until the timer actually shifts to STOP status.
Figure 5.10.11.1 shows the timing chart of the
RUN/STOP control.

The event counter mode is excluded from the
above note.
(2) The SLP instruction is executed when the
programmable timer is in the RUN status
(PRUN0(1) = "1"). The programmable timer
operation will become unstable when returning
from SLEEP status. Therefore, when shifting to
SLEEP status, set the clock timer to STOP status
(PRUN0(1) = "0") prior to executing the SLP
instruction.
In the same way, disable the TOUT signal
output (PTOUT = "0") to avoid an unstable clock
output to the R27 output port terminal.
(3) Since the TOUT signal is generated asynchro-
nously from the register PTOUT, when the
signal is turned ON or OFF by the register
setting, a hazard of a 1/2 cycle or less is gener-
ated.

(4) When the OSC3 oscillation circuit is made the
clock source, it is necessary to turn the OSC3
oscillation ON, prior to using the programmable
timer.
From the time the OSC3 oscillation circuit is
turning ON until oscillation stabilizes, an
interval of several 100 µsec to several 10 msec is
necessary. Consequently, you should allow an
adequate waiting time after turning the OSC3
oscillation circuit ON before starting the count
of the programmable timer. (The oscillation
start time will vary somewhat depending on the
oscillator and on external parts. Refer to the
oscillation start time example indicated in
Chapter 7, "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIS-
TICS".)
At initial reset, OSC3 oscillation circuit is set to
OFF status.
(5) When the 16-bit mode has been selected, be sure
to read the counter data in the order of PTD00–
PTD07 and PTD10–PTD17. Moreover, the time
interval between reading PTD00–PTD07 and
PTD10–PTD17 should be 0.73 msec or less.
