Chapter 24
Timers
24.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the timer modules implemented on the microcontroller:
• System Timer Module (STM)
• Enhanced Modular IO Subsystem (eMIOS)
• Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT)
The microcontroller also has a Real Time Clock / Autonomous Periodic Interrupt (RTC/API) module. The
main purpose of this is to provide a periodic device wakeup source.
24.2 Technical overview
This section gives a technical overview of each of the timers as well as detailing the pins that can be used
to access the timer peripherals if applicable.
Figure 24-1 details the interaction between the timers and the eDMA, INTC, CTU, and ADC.
