Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT)
19.3 Features
Features of the PIT include:
• Programmable PIT Clock Input
• Free-Running or Modulo Up-Count Operation
• PIT Counter Stop and Reset Bits
19.4 Functional Description
Figure 19-1 shows the structure of the PIT. The central component of
the PIT is the 16-bit PIT counter that can operate as a free-running
counter or a modulo up-counter. The counter provides the timing
reference for the interrupt. The PIT counter modulo registers,
PMODH–PMODL, control the modulo value of the counter. Software can
read the counter value at any time without affecting the counting
sequence.
