Timer 1/A Control Register (Tacon) - Samsung S3C8275X User Manual

S3C8275X/F8275X/C8278X/F8278X/C8274X/F8274X
TACON and TBCON are located in set 1, bank 1, at address E6H and E7H, and is read/write addressable using
Register addressing mode.
A reset clears TACON to "00H". This sets timer A to disable interval timer mode, selects an input clock frequency
of fxx/512, and disables timer A interrupt. You can clear the timer A counter at any time during normal operation
by writing a "1" to TACON.3.
A reset clears TBCON to "00H". This sets timer B to disable interval timer mode, selects an input clock frequency
of fxx/512, and disables timer B interrupt. You can clear the timer B counter at any time during normal operation
by writing a "1" to TBCON.3.
To enable the timer A interrupt (TAINT) and timer B interrupt (TBINT), you must write TACON.7 to "0", TACON.2
(TBCON.2) and TACON.1 (TBCON.1) to "1". To generate the exact time interval, you should write TACON.3
(TBCON.3) and TACON.0 (TBCON.0), which cleared counter and interrupt pending bit. When the TAINT and
TBINT sub-routine has been serviced, the pending condition must be cleared by software by writing a "0" to the
timer A and B interrupt pending bits, TACON.0 or TBCON.0.
