Programmable Timers (see page 436)
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
Each GPTM block provides two 16-bit timers/counters that can be configured to operate independently
as timers or event counters, or configured to operate as one 32-bit timer or one 32-bit Real-Time
Clock (RTC). Timers can also be used to trigger analog-to-digital (ADC) conversions.
The General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains three GPTM blocks with the following functional
options:
■ Operating modes:
– 16- or 32-bit programmable one-shot timer
– 16- or 32-bit programmable periodic timer
– 16-bit general-purpose timer with an 8-bit prescaler
– 32-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) when using an external 32.768-KHz clock as the input
– 16-bit input-edge count- or time-capture modes
– 16-bit PWM mode with software-programmable output inversion of the PWM signal
■ Count up or down
■ Six Capture Compare PWM pins (CCP)
■ Daisy chaining of timer modules to allow a single timer to initiate multiple timing events
■ ADC event trigger
■ User-enabled stalling when the microcontroller asserts CPU Halt flag during debug (excluding
RTC mode)
■ Ability to determine the elapsed time between the assertion of the timer interrupt and entry into
the interrupt service routine.
■ Efficient transfers using Micro Direct Memory Access Controller (µDMA)
– Dedicated channel for each timer
– Burst request generated on timer interrupt
CCP Pins (see page 442)
Capture Compare PWM pins (CCP) can be used by the General-Purpose Timer Module to time/count
external events using the CCP pin as an input. Alternatively, the GPTM can generate a simple PWM
output on the CCP pin.
