4.3.2.14  Time Counter Status and Control Register (TMCNTSC)
The time counter status and control register (TMCNTSC), shown in Figure 4-35, is used to
enable the different TMCNT functions and for reporting the source of the interrupts. The
register can be read at any time. Status bits are cleared by writing ones; writing zeros does
not affect the value of a status bit.

PB
Parity error on byte. There are four parity error status bits, one per 8-bit lane. A bit is set for the byte 
that had a parity error.
16Ð27
BNK
Memory controller bank. There are twelve error status bits, one per memory controller bank. A bit is 
set for the local bus memory controller bank that had an error. Note that BNK is invalid if the error 
was not caused by ECC or PARITY checks.

Reserved, should be cleared.

SEC
Once per second interrupt. This status bit is set every second and should be cleared by software.
9
ALR
Alarm interrupt. This status bit is set when the value of the TMCNT is equal to the value programmed 
in the alarm register.
10Ð11
Ñ
Reserved, should be cleared.
12
SIE
Second interrupt enable. 
0 The time counter does not generate an interrupt when SEC is set.
1 The time counter generates an interrupt when SEC is set.
13
ALE
Alarm interrupt enable. If ALE = 1, the time counter generates an interrupt when ALR is set.
