D

The input that the timer counts is an externalsignal that is fed into the MCU through the

TRAIO pin.

When a trigger occurs, the timer starts

operating once for a given period.

After the Count Start bit has been set, the timerwaits for a high signal on the TRAIO pin.E

D A signal is output from the TRBO pin and isinverted each time the counter underflows.

If an underflow occurs while the timer is

counting, the TUNDF bit goes high so that theunderflow can be taken into account.

Programmable Wait One Shot Generation Mode: Timer RB

In this mode, upon program or external trigger input, the device outputs the one-shot pulse from the TRBO pin after waiting for a given length of time.

When a trigger occurs, the timer starts outputting a pulse for a given length of time equal to the set value in the TRBSC register. This is only after

waiting for the TRBPR register to overflow.

Which statements describe the LVD function?Select all that apply and then click Done.

Causes the Voltage Detection flag to go to zero when VCC drops below

the detection voltage level

Generates a Voltage Detection Interrupt and an internal Reset signal if

VCC stays below Vdet during the sampling time of 1, 2, 4 or 8 clockcycles

Removes the Reset and generates a Voltage Detection Interrupt request

32 On-chip oscillator cycles after VCC rises above the Vdet level

Resets the microcomputer automatically whenever it is turned on

without using an external Reset circuit
