6.1 Functions of Timer Array Unit
Timer array unit has the following functions.
6.1.1 Independent channel operation function
By operating a channel independently, it can be used for the following purposes without being affected by the operation
mode of other channels.
(1) Interval timer
Each timer of a unit can be used as a reference timer that generates an interrupt (INTTM0n) at fixed intervals.

(2) Square wave output
A toggle operation is performed each time INTTM0n interrupt is generated and a square wave with a duty factor of
50% is output from a timer output pin (TO0n).

(3) External event counter
Each timer of a unit can be used as an event counter that generates an interrupt when the number of the valid
edges of a signal input to the timer input pin (TI0n) has reached a specific value.

(4) Divider function (channels 0 and 3 only)
A clock input from a timer input pin (TI00, TI03) is divided and output from an output pin (TO00, TO03).

(5) Input pulse interval measurement
Counting is started by the valid edge of a pulse signal input to a timer input pin (TI0n). The count value of the timer
is captured at the valid edge of the next pulse. In this way, the interval of the input pulse can be measured.
