11.10 Usage Notes 
11.10.1  Module Stop Mode Setting 
TPU operation can be disabled or enabled using the module stop control register. The initial 
setting is for TPU operation to be halted. Register access is enabled by clearing module stop 
mode. For details, refer to section 24, Power-Down Modes. 
11.10.2  Input Clock Restrictions 
The input clock pulse width must be at least 1.5 states in the case of single-edge detection, and at 
least 2.5 states in the case of both-edge detection. The TPU will not operate properly with a 
narrower pulse width. 
In phase counting mode, the phase difference and overlap between the two input clocks must be at 
least 1.5 states, and the pulse width must be at least 2.5 states. Figure 11.45 shows the input clock 
conditions in phase counting mode.
