For a 16 MHz system clock, timer 2 has a programmable frequency range of 61 Hz
(F
OSC
/2
16)
to 4 MHz (F
OSC
/4). The generated clock signal is brought out to the T2 pin
(P1.0).
Timer 2 is programmed for the clock-out mode as follows:
• Set T2OE bit in the T2MOD register.
• Clear C/T2
bit in the T2CON register.
• Determine the 16-bit reload value from the formula and enter it in the
RCAP2H/RCAP2L registers.
• Enter a 16-bit initial value in timer registers TH2/TL2. It can be the same as the
reload value, or different, depending on the application.
• To start the timer, set TR2 run control bit in the T2CON register.
It is possible to use timer 2 as a baud rate generator and a clock generator simulta-
neously. For this configuration, the baud rates and clock frequencies are not
independent since both functions use the values in the RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers.
