TIMER2/3 AND TIMER4/5

The Timer2/3 and Timer4/5 modules are 32-bit timers,

which can also be configured as four independent 16-bit

timers with selectable operating modes.

As a 32-bit timer, Timer2/3 and Timer4/5 operate in

three modes:

• Two independent 16-bit timers (Timer2 and

Timer3) with all 16-bit operating modes (except

Asynchronous Counter mode)

• Single 32-bit timer

• Single 32-bit synchronous counter

They also support these features:

• Timer gate operation

• Selectable prescaler settings

• Timer operation during Idle and Sleep modes

• Interrupt on a 32-Bit Period register match

• ADC Event Trigger (Timer4/5 only)

Individually, all four of the 16-bit timers can function as

synchronous timers or counters. They also offer the

features listed above, except for the ADC Event

Trigger; this is implemented only with Timer5. The

operating modes and enabled features are determined

by setting the appropriate bit(s) in the T2CON, T3CON,

T4CON and T5CON registers. T2CON and T4CON are

shown in generic form in Register 12-1; T3CON and

T5CON are shown in Register 12-2.

For 32-bit timer/counter operation, Timer2 and Timer4

are the least significant word; Timer3 and Timer4 are

the most significant word of the 32-bit timers.

To configure Timer2/3 or Timer4/5 for 32-bit operation:

Set the T32 bit (T2CON<3> or T4CON<3> = 1).

Select the prescaler ratio for Timer2 or Timer4

using the TCKPS1:TCKPS0 bits.

Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS

and TGATE bits. If TCS is set to external clock,

RPINRx (TxCK) must be configured to an avail-

able RPn pin. See Section 10.4 “Peripheral

Pin Select”

for more information.

Load the timer period value. PR3 (or PR5) will

contain the most significant word of the value

while PR2 (or PR4) contains the least significant

word.

If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable

bit, T3IE or T5IE; use the priority bits,

T3IP2:T3IP0 or T5IP2:T5IP0, to set the interrupt

priority. Note that while Timer2 or Timer4 con-

trols the timer, the interrupt appears as a Timer3

or Timer5 interrupt.

Set the TON bit (= 1).

The timer value, at any point, is stored in the register

pair, TMR3:TMR2 (or TMR5:TMR4). TMR3 (TMR5)

always contains the most significant word of the count,

while TMR2 (TMR4) contains the least significant word.

To configure any of the timers for individual 16-bit

operation:

Clear the T32 bit corresponding to that timer

(T2CON<3>

for

Timer2

and

Timer3

T4CON<3> for Timer4 and Timer5).

Select the timer prescaler ratio using the

TCKPS1:TCKPS0 bits.

Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS

and TGATE bits. See Section 10.4 “Peripheral

Pin Select”

for more information.

Load the timer period value into the PRx register.

If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable

bit, TxIE; use the priority bits, TxIP2:TxIP0, to

set the interrupt priority.

Set the TON bit (TxCON<15> = 1).

Note:

This data sheet summarizes the features

of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not

intended to be a comprehensive reference

source. For more information, refer to the

“PIC24F

Family

Reference

Manual”

”Section 14. Timers”

(DS39704).

Note:

For 32-bit operation, T3CON and T5CON

control bits are ignored. Only T2CON and

T4CON control bits are used for setup and

control. Timer2 and Timer4 clock and gate

inputs are utilized for the 32-bit timer

modules, but an interrupt is generated with

the Timer3 or Timer5 interrupt flags.
