6.3.12  Refresh Timer Counter (RTCNT) 
RTCNT is an 8-bit readable/writable up-counter. RTCNT counts up using the internal clock 
selected by bits RTCK2 to RTCK0 in REFCR. 
When RTCNT matches RTCOR (compare match), the CMF flag in REFCR is set to 1 and 
RTCNT is cleared to H'00. If the RFSHE bit in REFCR is set to 1 at this time, a refresh cycle is 
started. If the RFSHE bit is cleared to 0 and the CMIE bit in REFCR is set to 1, a compare match 
interrupt (CMI) is generated. 
RTCNT is initialized to H'00 by a reset and in hardware standby mode. It is not initialized in 
software standby mode. 
Note:  The refresh control is not supported by the 5-V version. 
6.3.13  Refresh Time Constant Register (RTCOR) 
RTCOR is an 8-bit readable/writable register that sets the period for compare match operations 
with RTCNT. 
The values of RTCOR and RTCNT are constantly compared, and if they match, the CMF flag in 
REFCR is set to 1 and RTCNT is cleared to H'00. 
RTCOR is initialized to H'FF by a reset and in hardware standby mode. It is not initialized in 
software standby mode. 
Note:  The refresh control is not supported by the 5-V version.
