Register 145: 16/32-Bit General-Purpose Timer Power Control (PCTIMER),
offset 0x904
Important: The Timer module does not currently provide the ability to respond to the power down
request. Setting a bit in this register has no effect on power consumption. This register
is defined for future software compatibility.
The PCTIMER register controls the power applied to the Timer module. The function of this bit
depends on the current state of the device (Run, Sleep or Deep-Sleep mode) and value of the
corresponding bits in the RCGCTIMER, SCGCTIMER and DCGCTIMER registers. If the Rn, Sn, or
Dn bit of the respective RCGCTIMER, SCGCTIMER and DCGCTIMER registers is 1 and the device
is in that mode, the module is powered and receives a clock irrespective of what the corresponding
Pn bit in the PCTIMER register is.
However, if the Rn, Sn, or Dn bit of the respective RCGCTIMER, SCGCTIMER and DCGCTIMER
registers is 0 and the device is in that mode, then the module behaves differently depending on the
value of the corresponding Pn bit in the PCTIMER register. In this case, when the Pn bit is clear the
module is not powered and does not receive a clock. If the Pn bit is set, the module is powered but
does not receive a clock. The table below details the differences.

Module is not powered and does not receive a clock. In this case, the peripheral's
state is not retained.
This is the lowest power consumption state of any peripheral since it consumes no
dynamic nor leakage current. Hardware should perform a peripheral reset if the active
mode changes and the RCGCx, SCGCx, or DCGCx register is a 1 or the P0 bit is
changed to a 1.
Software must re-initialize the peripheral when re-enabled due to the loss of state.

Module is powered, but does not receive a clock.
In this case, the peripheral is inactive. This is the second-lowest power consumption
of any peripheral since it consumes only leakage current.
