The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler
• Software programmable postscaler
• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match
• Optional use as the shift clock for the
The module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 13-1) which enables or disables the timer,
and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2
can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 13-1.

In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on

divide-by-16 prescale options. These are selected by the
prescaler control bits, T2CKPS<1:0> (T2CON<1:0>).
The value of TMR2 is compared to that of the Period
register, PR2, on each clock cycle. When the two
signal as the timer output. This signal also resets the
value of TMR2 to 00h on the next cycle and drives the
output counter/postscaler (see Section 13.2 “Timer2
Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.
