Configuring the Timer Mode

In this mode, the timer can be utilized to measure fixed

time intervals, providing an internal interrupt signal each

time the counter overflows. To operate in this mode, the

bit pair, T0M1/T0M0, must be set to 1 and 0 respectively.

In this mode the internal clock is used as the timer clock.

The timer input clock source is either fSYS or the RTC os-

cillator. However, this timer clock source is further di-

vided by a prescaler, the value of which is determined by

the bits T0PSC2~T0PSC0 in the Timer Control Regis-

ter. The timer-on bit, T0ON 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 interrupt signal is gener-

ated and the timer will preload the value already loaded

into the preload register and continue counting. A timer

overflow condition and corresponding internal interrupt

is one of the wake-up sources, however, the internal in-

terrupts can be disabled by ensuring that the ET0I bits of

the INTC0 register are reset to zero.

Configuring the Event Counter Mode

In this mode, a number of externally changing logic

events, occurring on the external timer pin, can be re-

corded by the internal timer. For the timer to operate in

the event counting mode, the bit pair, T0M1/T0M0 must

be set to 0 and 1 respectively. The timer-on bit T0ON or

T1ON, depending upon which timer is used, must be set

high to enable the timer to count. If T0E is low, the coun-

ter will increment each time the external timer pin re-

ceives a low to high transition. If T0E is high, the counter

will increment each time the external timer pin receives

a high to low transition. As in the case of the other two

modes, when the counter is full, the timer will overflow

and generate an internal interrupt signal. The counter

will then preload the value already loaded into the

preload register. As the external timer pins are

pin-shared with other I/O pins, to ensure that the pin is

configured to operate as an event counter input pin, two

things have to happen. The first is to ensure that the

T0M1/T0M0 bits place the Timer/Event Counter in the

event counting mode, the second is to ensure that the

port control register configures the pin as an input. It

should be noted that a timer overflow is one of the inter-

rupt and wake-up sources. Note that the timer interrupts

can be disabled by ensuring that the ET0I bits in the

INTC0 register are reset to zero.

Configuring the Pulse Width Measurement Mode

In this mode, the width of external pulses applied to the

external timer pin can be measured. In the Pulse Width

Measurement Mode the timer clock source is supplied

by the internal clock. For the timer to operate in this

mode, the bit pair, T0M1/T0M0 must both be set high. If

the T0E bit is low, once a high to low transition has been

received on the external timer pin, the timer will start

counting until the external timer pin returns to its original

high level. At this point the T0ON bit will be automatically

reset to zero and the timer will stop counting. If the T0E

bit is high, the timer will begin counting once a low to

high transition has been received on the external timer

pin and stop counting when the external timer pin re-
