Timers
The device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0, T1,
T2, T3). All timers and associated autoreload/capture regis-
ters power up containing random data.
TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)
The device supports applications that require maintaining
real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This IDLE
mode support is furnished by the IDLE timer T0, which is a
16-bit timer. The Timer T0 runs continuously at the fixed rate
of the instruction cycle clock, t_c. The user cannot read or
write to the IDLE Timer T0, which is a count down timer.
The Timer T0 supports the following functions:
• Exit out of the Idle Mode (See Idle Mode description)
• WATCHDOG logic (See WATCHDOG description)
• Start up delay out of the HALT mode
The IDLE Timer T0 can generate an interrupt when the thir-
teenth bit toggles. This toggle is latched into the T0PND
pending flag, and will occur every 4 ms at the maximum
clock frequency (t_c = 1 µs). A control flag T0EN allows the in-
terrupt from the thirteenth bit of Timer T0 to be enabled or
disabled. Setting T0EN will enable the interrupt, while reset-
ting it will disable the interrupt.
TIMER T1, TIMER T2 AND TIMER T3
The device has a set of three powerful timer/counter blocks,
T1, T2 and T3. The associated features and functioning of a
timer block are described by referring to the timer block Tx.
Since the three timer blocks, T1, T2 and T3 are identical, all
comments are equally applicable to any of the three timer
blocks.
Each timer block consists of a 16-bit timer, Tx, and two sup-
porting 16-bit autoreload/capture registers, RxA and RxB.
Each timer block has two pins associated with it, TxA and
TxB. The pin TxA supports I/O required by the timer block,
while the pin TxB is an input to the timer block. The powerful
and flexible timer block allows the device to easily perform all
timer functions with minimal software overhead. The timer
block has three operating modes: Processor Independent
PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and Input Cap-
ture mode.
The control bits TxC3, TxC2, and TxC1 allow selection of the
different modes of operation.
Mode 1. Processor Independent PWM Mode
As the name suggests, this mode allows the device to gen-
erate a PWM signal with very minimal user intervention. The
user only has to define the parameters of the PWM signal
(ON time and OFF time). Once begun, the timer block will
continuously generate the PWM signal completely indepen-
dent of the microcontroller. The user software services the
timer block only when the PWM parameters require updat-
ing.
In this mode the timer Tx counts down at a fixed rate of t_c.
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with
the contents of supporting registers, RxA and RxB. The very
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from
the register RxA. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the
register RxB.
The Tx Timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 set up the
timer for PWM mode operation.
Figure 8 shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the TxA output
pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate in-
terrupts.
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The user must reset
these pending flags under software control. Two control en-
