Bits
Description
5 START
This bit triggers the timer counter. The counter will operate until it
hits its terminating condition. This will clear this bit. It should be
noted that when operating in restart mode, there is no terminating
condition for the counter, so this bit will never clear. Clearing this bit
will halt the timer counter.
Type
R/W
Setting this bit will:
• Reset the clock divider counter.
• Enable the clock divider counter.
• Start the timer counter.
• Clear all interrupts.
Clearing this bit will:
• Disable the clock divider counter.
• Stop the timer counter.
4 SOFT_RESET
WO
This is a soft reset.
This is self clearing 1 cycle after it is written.
3 AUTO_RESTART

When the counter in incrementing the counter will saturate and trig-
ger the event when it reaches all F’s. When the counter is decre-
menting the counter will saturate when it reaches 0h.
1=The counter will increment
0=The counter will decrement
1 Reserved
R
0 ENABLE
