PROGRAMMABLE COUNTER ARRAY
Setting the run control bit (CR in the CCON register) turns the PCA timer/counter on, if the out-
put of the NAND gate (Figure 9-1) equals logic 1. The PCA timer/counter continues to operate
during idle mode unless the CIDL bit of the CMOD register is set. The CPU can read the contents
of the CH and CL registers at any time. However, writing to them is inhibited while they are
counting (i.e., when the CR bit is set).
