Abstract

The present invention relates to timer generation corresponding to a plurality of timer requests, etc. necessary for task processes of a CPU and achieves efficient timer generation. The present invention includes a count setting unit (register) presetting a timer value that should be set at the time of completion of counting in a counter (down counter) that counts down or up a lapse of time to achieve the start and switching of the timer operation even without a high-speed response in the CPU. In such a configuration, a CPU clock can be operated at lower speed and the reduction of the consumption currents can be achieved. The present invention is applied to various electronic apparatuses such as portable terminal apparatuses.
