CHAPTER 15 WATCH TIMER

15.1

Overview of Watch Timer

The watch timer is a 15-bit free-run counter that increments in synchronization with the
subclock.
• Eight interval times can be selected and an interrupt request can be generated for

each interval time.

• An operation clock can be supplied to the oscillation stabilization wait time timer of

the subclock and the watchdog timer.

• The subclock is always used as a count clock regardless of the settings of the clock

select register (CKSCR).

■

Interval Timer Function

•

When the watch timer reaches the interval time set by the interval time select bits (WTC:WTC2 to

WTC0), the bit corresponding to the interval time of the watch timer counter overflows (carries) and the

overflow flag bit is set (WTC:WTOF = 1).

•

When the overflow flag bit is set (WTC:WTOF = 1) with interrupt enabled when an overflow occurs

(WTC:WTIE = 1), an interrupt request is generated.

•

The interval time of the watch timer can be selected from eight types shown in Table 15.1-1 .

SCLK: Subclock frequency
The parenthesized values are provided when the subclock operates at 8.192 kHz. Please consider the frequency
difference of built-in CR oscillation when you use built-in CR oscillation clock as a sub-clock.
