causes the counter to reload with $FFFF. TOUTx transitions at timeout or is disabled as

programmed by the CR OCx bits. The SR OUT bit reflects the level on TOUTx.

To determine the number of cycles counted, the value in the CNTR must be read,

inverted, and incremented by 1 (the first count is $FFFF which, in effect, includes a count

of zero). The counter counts in a true 216 fashion. For measuring pulses of even greater

duration, the value in the POx bits in the SR is readable and can be thought of as an

extension of the least significant bits in the CNTR.

NOTE

Once the timer has been enabled, do not clear the SR TG bit

until the pulse has been measured and

TGATE

≈ has been

negated.

8.3.6 Period Measurement

This mode is used to count the period of a particular event. The event is defined by the

assertion, negation, and subsequent reassertion of

TGATE

≈. When TGATE≈ is asserted,

the counter begins counting down from $FFFF. The negation of

TGATE

≈ has no effect on

the counter. When

TGATE

≈ is reasserted, the counter stops counting and holds the value

at which it stopped. Further assertions and negations of

TGATE

≈ have no effect on the

counter. This mode can be selected by programming the CR MODEx bits to 101.

The timer is enabled by setting the SWR, CPE, and the TGE bits in the CR. The assertion

TGATE

≈ starts the counter. When the timer is enabled, the SR ON bit is set. On the

next falling edge of the counter clock, the counter is loaded with the value of $FFFF. With

each successive falling edge of the counter clock, the counter decrements. The PREL1

and PREL2 registers are not used in this mode.

The first negation of

TGATE

≈ is ignored, but on the second assertion of TGATE≈, the SR

TG bit is set, the SR ON bit is negated, and the prescaler and counter are disabled.

Subsequent transitions on

TGATE

≈ do not re-enable the counter. See Figure 8-9 for a

depiction of this mode. The SR TGL bit reflects the level of

TGATE

≈ at all times.
