DUAL 12-BIT AUTORELOAD TIMER 4 (Cont’d)

■ Long Input Capture

Pulses that last more than 8μs can be measured

with an accuracy of 4μs if fOSC = 8 MHz in the fol-

lowing conditions:

– The 12-bit AT4 Timer is clocked by the Lite Timer

(RTC pulse: CK[1:0] = 01 in the ATCSR register)

– The ICS bit in the ATCSR2 register is set so that

the LTIC pin is used to trigger the AT4 Timer cap-

ture.

– The signal to be captured is connected to LTIC

pin

– Input Capture registers LTICR, ATICRH and

ATICRL are read

This configuration allows to cascade the Lite Timer

and the 12-bit AT4 Timer to get a 20-bit input cap-

ture value. Refer to Figure 11.

Notes:

1. Since the input capture flags (ICF) for both tim-

ers (AT4 Timer and LT Timer) are set when signal

transition occurs, software must mask one inter-

rupt by clearing the corresponding ICIE bit before

setting the ICS bit.

2. If the ICS bit changes (from 0 to 1 or from 1 to

0), a spurious transition might occur on the input

capture signal because of different values on LTIC

and ATIC. To avoid this situation, it is recommend-

ed to do as follows:

– First, reset both ICIE bits.

– Then set the ICS bit.

– Reset both ICF bits.

– And then set the ICIE bit of desired interrupt.

3. How to compute a pulse length with long input

capture feature.

As both timers are used, computing a pulse length

is not straight-forward. The procedure is as fol-

lows:

– At the first input capture on the rising edge of the

pulse, we assume that values in the registers are

as follows:

LTICR = LT1

ATICRH = ATH1

ATICRL = ATL1

Hence ATICR1 [11:0] = ATH1 & ATL1

Refer to Figure 12.
