Timers
These Z8 Encore! XP F082A Series products contain two 16-bit reloadable timers that can
be used for timing, event counting, or generation of pulse-width modulated (PWM) sig-
nals. The timers’ feature include:
• 16-bit reload counter
• Programmable prescaler with prescale values from 1 to 128
• PWM output generation
• Capture and compare capability
• External input pin for timer input, clock gating, or capture signal. External input pin
signal frequency is limited to a maximum of one-fourth the system clock frequency
• Timer output pin
• Timer interrupt
In addition to the timers described in this chapter, the Baud Rate Generator of the UART
(if unused) may also provide basic timing functionality. For information about using the
Baud Rate Generator as an additional timer, see the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/
Transmitter chapter on page 99.
