In the clock-out mode, Timer 2 operates as a 50% duty-cycle, programmable clock gen-
erator (see Figure 9). The input clock increments TL2 at frequency F
timer repeatedly counts to overflow from a loaded value. At overflow, the contents of
RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers are loaded into TH2 and TL2. In this mode, Timer 2
overflows do not generate interrupts. The formula gives the clock-out frequency as a
function of the system oscillator frequency and the value in the RCAP2H and RCAP2L
registers:
For a 16 MHz system clock, Timer 2 has a programmable frequency range of 61 Hz
(F
T2 pin (P1.0).
Timer 2 is programmed for the clock-out mode as follows:

•
•
•
•
It is possible to use Timer 2 as a baud rate generator and a clock generator simulta-
neously. For this configuration, the baud rates and clock frequencies are not
independent since both functions use the values in the RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers.

Set T2OE bit in T2MOD register.
Clear C/T2 bit in T2CON register.
Determine the 16-bit reload value from the formula and enter it in RCAP2H/RCAP2L
registers.
Enter a 16-bit initial value in timer registers TH2/TL2. It can be the same as the
reload value or a different one depending on the application.
To start the timer, set TR2 run control bit in T2CON register.
