CNTR1 output control: square wave output control
Outline: The output/stop of square wave from timer 3 every timer 4 underflow can be controlled.
Specifications: 4 kHz square wave is output from timer 3 at system clock frequency f(X
IN
) = 4.0
MHz. Also, timer 4 controls ON/OFF of square wave every constant period.
Figure 2.3.6 shows the setting example of CNTR1 output.

Timer operation: timer start by external input
Outline: The constant period can be measured by external input.
Specifications: Timer 1 operates by INT0 input as a trigger and an interrupt occurs after 1 ms.
Figure 2.3.7 and Figure 2.3.8 show the setting example of timer start.

Watchdog timer
Watchdog timer provides a method to reset the system when a program run-away occurs.
In the 4513/4514 Group, bit 15 of 16-bit timer is counted twice for the watchdog timer.
Accordingly, when the watchdog timer function is set to be valid, execute the WRST instruction at
a certain period which consists of timer 16-bit timers’ 32767 counts or less (execute WRST instruction
at a cycle of 32766 machine cycles or less).
Outline: Execute the WRST instruction in 16-bit timer’s 32767 counts at the normal operation. If a
program runs incorrectly, the WRST instruction is not executed and system reset occurs.
Specifications: System clock frequency f(X
IN
) = 4.0 MHz is used, and program run-away is detected
by executing the WRST instruction in 24 ms.
Figure 2.3.2 shows the watchdog timer function, and Figure 2.3.9 shows the example of watchdog
timer.
