FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PS014401-1001
Counter/Timers
Figure 14. Register Pointer
There are two 8-bit programmable counter/timers (T0-T1), each driven by its own
6-bit programmable prescaler. The T1 prescaler is driven by internal or external
clock sources; however, the TO prescaler is driven by the internal clock only (Fig-
ure 15).
The 6-bit prescalers can divide the input frequency of the clock source by any
integer number from 1 to 64. Each prescaler drives its counter, which decrements
the value (1 to 256) that has been loaded into the counter. When both the
counters and prescalers reach the end of the count, a timer interrupt request,
IRQ4 (T0) or IRQ5 (T1), is generated.
The counter is programmed to start, stop, restart to continue, or restart from the
initial value. The counters can also be programmed to stop upon reaching zero
