Abstract

An output timer includes a capture register for capturing a count value held by a free running up-counter in coorporation with a transmission gate in response to an event signal applied to the output timer. An adder adds a first value stored in another register to the count value captured by the capture register and produces a sum. A comparator compares a count value held by the free running up-counter with the sum and outputs a coincidence signal when the count value and sum are equal to each other. A set-reset flip-flop includes a set terminal for receiving the event signal and a reset terminal connected to the output terminal of the comparator.
