Timer Start Register (TSTR)
TSTR is an 8-bit readable/writable register that selects operation/stoppage for channels 0 to 4.
When setting the operating mode in TMDR or setting the count clock in TCR, first stop the TCNT
counter.

Counter Start 4 and 3
These bits select operation or stoppage for TCNT.
If 0 is written to the CST bit during operation with the
TIOC pin designated for output, the counter stops but
the TIOC pin output compare output level is retained.
If TIOR is written to when the CST bit is cleared to 0,
the pin output level will be changed to the set initial
output value.
0: TCNT_4 and TCNT_3 count operation is stopped
1: TCNT_4 and TCNT_3 performs count operation

These bits select operation or stoppage for TCNT.
If 0 is written to the CST bit during operation with the

the TIOC pin output compare output level is retained.
If TIOR is written to when the CST bit is cleared to 0,
the pin output level will be changed to the set initial

0: TCNT_2 to TCNT_0 count operation is stopped
1: TCNT_2 to TCNT_0 performs count operation

Timer Synchronous Register (TSYR)
TSYR is an 8-bit readable/writable register that selects independent operation or synchronous
operation for the channel 0 to 4 TCNT counters. A channel performs synchronous operation when
the corresponding bit in TSYR is set to 1.
