8.8 Timer function
The 8-bit countdown timer at address 0Fh is controlled by the Timer_control register at
address 0Eh. The Timer_control register determines one of 4 source clock frequencies for
the timer (4096 Hz, 64 Hz, 1 Hz, or 1⁄60 Hz), and enables or disables the timer. The timer
counts down from a software-loaded 8-bit binary value. At the end of every countdown,
the timer sets the timer flag TF. The TF may only be cleared by using the interface. The
asserted TF can be used to generate an interrupt on pin INT. The interrupt may be
generated as a pulsed signal every countdown period or as a permanently active signal
which follows the state of TF. Bit TI_TP is used to control this mode selection. When
reading the timer, the current countdown value is returned.

1⁄60 Hz for power saving.
