Note:
This data sheet summarizes the features of
this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. Refer to Section 14. “Timers”
(DS39704) in the “PIC24F Family
Reference Manual” for more information.
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer which can serve as
the time counter for the Real-Time Clock (RTC) or
operate as a free-running, interval timer/counter.
Timer1 can operate in three modes:
• 16-Bit Timer
• 16-Bit Synchronous Counter
• 16-Bit Asynchronous Counter
Timer1 also supports these features:
• Timer gate operation
• Selectable prescaler settings
• Timer operation during CPU Idle and Sleep
modes
• Interrupt on 16-bit Period register match or falling
edge of the external gate signal
Figure 11-1 presents a block diagram of the 16-bit timer
module.
To configure Timer1 for operation:
1. Set the TON bit (= 1).
2. Select the timer prescaler ratio using the
TCKPS<1:0> bits.
3. Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS
and TGATE bits.
4. Set or clear the TSYNC bit to configure
synchronous or asynchronous operation.
5. Load the timer period value into the PR1
register.
6. If interrupts are required, set the Timer1 Inter-
rupt Enable bit, T1IE. Use the priority bits,
T1IP<2:0>, to set the interrupt priority.
