TMRC register

Programmable timer counter and

timer/event counter

The programmable timer counter (TMR0) and

timer/event counter (TMR1) are constructed us-

ing the same structure. Both counters contain

an 8–bit programmable count-up counter,

whose

clocks may come from an external

source or from the system clock divided by 4.

If the internal instruction clock is selected, only

one reference time-base is provided. The exter-

nal clock input allows the user to count external

events, measure time intervals or pulse widths,

or generate an accurate time base. The clock of

the programmable timer counter should come

from the external clock of the 75Hz for Real

Time Clock (RTC) if a 76.8kHz crystal is used.

There are two sets of registers related to the

programmable timer counter and to the

timer/event counter namely, TMR0 (0DH) and

TMRC0 (0EH) and TMR1 (10H) and TMRC1

(11H). There are also two physical registers

mapped to the TMR0 and TMR1 locations:

Writing to TMR0 and TMR1 puts the starting

value in the programmable timer counter and

in the timer/event counter preload registers,

while reading them gets the contents of the two

counters. TMRC0 and TMRC1 are control reg-

isters used to define some timer options.

The TM0 and TM1 bits define the operation

mode. The event count mode is used to count

external events, which means that the clock

source may come from either a 256Hz generator

(for TMR0) or an external pin (for TMR1). The

timer mode functions as a normal timer, with

the clock source coming from the instruction

clock or from the outputs of the TMR1 prescaler

(TMR0 cannot be used in this mode). The pulse

width measurement mode can be used to count

the high or low level duration of the external

signal TMR1, TMR0 is also disabled in this

mode. The counting is based on the system

clock.

In the event count or timer mode, once the

programmable timer counter or timer/event

counter starts counting, it will count from the

current contents in the counter to FFH. Once an

overflow occurs, the counter is reloaded from its

counter preload register and generates an in-

terrupt request flag (T0F; bit 5 of INTC and

T1F; bit 6 of INTC for programmable timer

counter and timer/event counter, respectively).

On the other hand, in the pulse width measure-

ment mode with the TON bit equal to one, when

the TMR1 receives a transient from low to high

(or high to low depending upon the TE bit) it

will start counting until the TMR1 returns to

the original level and resets the TON as well.
