7.4.3 8-Bit Timer/Counter 3 Control Registers
(1) Timer control register 0 (TMC0)
The TMC0 register is an 8-bit register for controlling the count operation of 8-bit timer 3 (TM3).
The higher 4 bits control the count operation of TM3 of 8-bit timer/counter 3. (The lower 4 bits control the count
operation of TM0 of the 16-bit timer/counter.)
operation of TM0 of the 16-bit timer/counter.)
The TMC0 register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-123
shows the format of the TMC0 register.

When the RESET signal is applied, the TMC0 register is cleared to 00H.

(2) Prescaler mode register 0 (PRM0)
The PRM0 register is an 8-bit register used to specify a count clock for 8-bit timer 3 (TM3).
The PRM0 register allows only write operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-124 shows the
