8.3.3 Interval timer control register (ITMC)
This register is used to set up the starting and stopping of the 12-bit interval timer operation and to specify the timer
compare value.
The ITMC register can be set by a 16-bit memory manipulation instruction.
Reset signal generation clears this register to 0FFFH.
Figure 8-4. Format of Interval Timer Control Register (ITMC)
Address: FFF90H After reset: 0FFFH R/W
Symbol 15 14 13 12 11 to 0
ITMC RINTE 0 0 0 ITCMP11 to ITCMP0
RINTE 12-bit interval timer operation control
0 Count operation stopped (count clear)
1 Count operation started
ITCMP11 to ITCMP0 Specification of the 12-bit interval timer compare value
001H
These bits generate an interrupt at the fixed cycle (count clock cycles x (ITCMP
setting + 1)).

Example interrupt cycles when 001H or FFFH is specified for ITCMP11 to ITCMP0
• ITCMP11 to ITCMP0 = 001H, count clock: when f
SUB = 32.768 kHz
1/32.768 [kHz] × (1 + 1) = 0.06103515625 [ms] ≅ 61.03 [

• ITCMP11 to ITCMP0 = FFFH, count clock: when f
SUB = 32.768 kHz
1/32.768 [kHz] × (4095 + 1) = 125 [ms]
Cautions 1. Before changing the RINTE bit from 1 to 0, use the interrupt mask flag register to disable
the INTIT interrupt servicing. When the operation starts (from 0 to 1) again, clear the
ITIF flag, and then enable the interrupt servicing.
2. The value read from the RINTE bit is applied one count clock cycle after setting the
RINTE bit.
3. When setting the RINTE bit to start operation of the counter after returning from a
standby mode and then shifting to a standby mode again, either confirm that the value
written to the RINTE bit has been applied, or make sure that at least one count clock
cycle elapses between returning from a standby mode and shifting to a standby mode
again.
4. Only change the setting of the ITCMP11 to ITCMP0 bits when RINTE = 0.
However, it is possible to change the settings of the ITCMP11 to ITCMP0 bits at the
same time as when changing RINTE from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0.
