Timers (Continued)

ters. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The register

RxA acts in conjunction with the TxA pin and the register RxB

acts in conjunction with the TxB pin.

The timer value gets copied over into the register when a

trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin. Control bits,

TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1, allow the trigger events to be speci-

fied either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger con-

dition for each input pin can be specified independently.

The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate

interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition

on the TxA and TxB pins will be respectively latched into the

pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The control flag Tx-

ENA allows the interrupt on TxA to be either enabled or dis-

abled. Setting the TxENA flag enables interrupts to be gener-

ated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the TxA

pin. Similarly, the flag TxENB controls the interrupts from the

TxB pin.

Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to gen-

erate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer TxC0

pending flag (the TxC0 control bit serves as the timer under-

flow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Con-

sequently, the TxC0 control bit should be reset when enter-

ing the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is

enabled with the TxENA control flag. When a TxA interrupt

occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both

the TxPNDA and TxC0 pending flags in order to determine

whether a TxA input capture or a timer underflow (or both)

caused the interrupt.

Figure 10 shows a block diagram of the timer in Input Cap-

ture mode.
