Bit 6 
WT/IT 
Description 
0  Interval timer: Sends the CPU an interval timer interrupt request (WOVI) 
when TCNT overflows   (Initial value) 
1  Watchdog timer: Generates the WDTOVF signal
*
1
 when TCNT overflows
*
2
Notes: 1. The WDTOVF function is not available in the F-ZTAT versions. 
  2.  For details of the case where TCNT overflows in watchdog timer mode, see section 
11.2.3, Reset Control/Status Register (RSTCSR). 
Bit 5—Timer Enable (TME): Selects whether TCNT runs or is halted. 
Bit 5 
TME 
Description 
0  TCNT is initialized to H'00 and halted   (Initial value) 
1 TCNT counts 
Bits 4 and 3—Reserved: These bits cannot be modified and are always read as 1. 
Bits 2 to 0—Clock Select 2 to 0 (CKS2 to CKS0): These bits select one of eight internal clock 
sources, obtained by dividing the system clock (φ), for input to TCNT.

0 0 0 φ/2 (Initial value)  25.6 μs 
 1 φ/64 819.2 μs 
 1 0 φ/128 1.6 ms 
 1 φ/512 6.6 ms

 1 0 φ/32768 419.4 ms 
 1 φ/131072 1.68 s 
Note: * The overflow period is the time from when TCNT starts counting up from H'00 until overflow 
occurs.
