Configuring the Timer Mode
In this mode, the timer can be utilized to measure fixed time intervals, providing an internal inter-
rupt signal each time the counter overflows. To operate in this mode, bits TM1 (bit7) and TM0 (bit6)
of the TMRC register must be set to 1 and 0 respectively. In this mode, the internal clock is used as
the timer clock. The input clock frequency to the timer is f
SYS
divided by the value programmed into
the timer prescaler, the value of which is determined by bits PSC0~PSC2 of the TMRC register.
The timer-on bit, TON must be set high to enable the timer to run. Each time an internal clock high
to low transition occurs, the timer increments by one; when the timer is full and overflows, an inter-
rupt signal is generated and the timer will preload the value already loaded into the preload regis
-
ter and continue counting. A timer overflow condition and corresponding internal interrupt is one of
the wake-up sources, however, the internal interrupts can be disabled by ensuring that the ETI bit
of the INTC register is reset to zero.
