17.1 Introduction
The period interrupt timer (PIT) is an array of 24-bit timers that can be used to trigger peripheral modules
or raise periodic interrupts. Refer to Figure 17-1 for a simplified block diagram.

clock periods of the 16-bit timer modulus down-counters, which are generated by the 8-bit
modulus down-counters.
17.1.2 Features
The PIT includes these features:
• Eight timers implemented as modulus down-counters with independent time-out periods.
• Time-out periods selectable between 1 and 2²⁴ bus clock cycles. Time-out equals m*n bus clock
cycles with 1 <= m <= 256 and 1 <= n <= 65536.
• Timers that can be enabled individually.
• Eight time-out interrupts.
• Eight time-out trigger output signals available to trigger peripheral modules.
• Start of timer channels can be aligned to each other.
17.1.3 Modes of Operation
Refer to the device overview for a detailed explanation of the chip modes.
