R/W
R/W
Timer Synchronous operation 4 and 3
These bits are used to select whether operation is
independent of or synchronized with other channels.
When synchronous operation is selected, the TCNT
synchronous presetting of multiple channels, and
synchronous clearing by counter clearing on another
channel, are possible.
To set synchronous operation, the SYNC bits for at
least two channels must be set to 1. To set
synchronous clearing, in addition to the SYNC bit ,
the TCNT clearing source must also be set by means
of bits CCLR0 to CCLR2 in TCR.
0: TCNT_4 and TCNT_3 operate independently
(TCNT presetting/clearing is unrelated to other
channels)
1: TCNT_4 and TCNT_3 performs synchronous
operation
TCNT synchronous presetting/synchronous clearing
is possible
