11.0 TIMER0
The Timer0 module consists of a 16-bit timer/counter,
TMR0. The high byte is TMR0H and the low byte is
TMR0L. A software programmable 8-bit prescaler
makes an effective 24-bit overflow timer. The clock
source is also software programmable as either the
internal instruction clock or the RA1/T0CKI pin. The
control bits for this module are in register T0STA
(Figure 11-1).

bit 7:
INTEDG: RA0/INT Pin Interrupt Edge Select bit
This bit selects the edge upon which the interrupt is detected
1 = Rising edge of RA0/INT pin generates interrupt
0 = Falling edge of RA0/INT pin generates interrupt

bit 6:
T0SE: Timer0 Clock Input Edge Select bit
This bit selects the edge upon which TMR0 will increment
When T0CS = 0
1 = Rising edge of RA1/T0CKI pin increments TMR0 and/or generates a T0CKIF interrupt
0 = Falling edge of RA1/T0CKI pin increments TMR0 and/or generates a T0CKIF interrupt
When T0CS = 1

bit 5:
T0CS: Timer0 Clock Source Select bit
This bit selects the clock source for TMR0.
1 = Internal instruction clock cycle (TCY)
0 = T0CKI pin
bit 4-1: PS3:PS0: Timer0 Prescale Selection bits
These bits select the prescale value for TMR0.
