21.2 Introduction
This section describes the timebase module (TBM). The TBM will 
generate periodic interrupts at user selectable rates using a counter 
clocked by the external crystal clock. This TBM version uses 15 divider 
stages, eight of which are user selectable.
For further information regarding timers on M68HC08 family devices, 
please consult the HC08 Timer Reference Manual, TIM08RM/AD.
21.3 Features
Features of the TBM module include:
• Software programmable 1 Hz, 4 Hz, 16 Hz, 256 Hz, 512 Hz, 1024 
Hz, 2048 Hz, and 4096 Hz periodic interrupt using external 32.768 
kHz crystal
• User selectable oscillator clock source enable during stop mode to 
allow periodic wakeup from stop
