Programmable Timers (see page 718)
Programmable timers can be used to count or time external events that drive the Timer input pins.
Each 16/32-bit 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). Each 32/64-bit Wide GPTM block provides two 32-bit timers/counters that
can be configured to operate independently as timersor event counters, or configured to operate
as one 64-bit timer or one 64-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC). Timers can also be used to trigger
analog-to-digital (ADC) conversions and DMA transfers.
The General-Purpose Timer Module (GPTM) contains six 16/32-bit GPTM blocks and six 32/64-bit
Wide GPTM blocks with the following functional options:
■ 16/32-bit 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 with an 8-bit prescaler
– 16-bit PWM mode with an 8-bit prescaler and software-programmable output inversion of the
PWM signal
■ 32/64-bit operating modes:
– 32- or 64-bit programmable one-shot timer
– 32- or 64-bit programmable periodic timer
– 32-bit general-purpose timer with a 16-bit prescaler
– 64-bit Real-Time Clock (RTC) when using an external 32.768-KHz clock as the input
– 32-bit input-edge count- or time-capture modes with a16-bit prescaler
– 32-bit PWM mode with a 16-bit prescaler and software-programmable output inversion of the
PWM signal
■ Count up or down
■ Twelve 16/32-bit Capture Compare PWM pins (CCP)
■ Twelve 32/64-bit Capture Compare PWM pins (CCP)
■ Daisy chaining of timer modules to allow a single timer to initiate multiple timing events
■ Timer synchronization allows selected timers to start counting on the same clock cycle
■ ADC event trigger
