T1 and T2 Timer Pin Assignments
The following table lists the I/O port pins associated with
the Timer T1 and Timer T2 I/O functions.
5.4.3
T1 and T2 Timer Registers
Each timer has six 16-bit register pairs, which are
accessed as 8-bit registers in the special-purpose register
space. There is also one 8-bit register shared by both
timers.
TxCNTH/TxCNTL Register
The TxCNTH/TxCNTL register indicates the value of the
counter/timer and increments synchronously with the
rising edge of the system clock. This register is read-only.
The timer counter may be cleared by writing to the TxRST
bit in the TCTRL register.
Reading the TxCNTL register returns the least-significant
8 bits of the internal TxCNT counter and causes the most-
significant 8 bits of the counter to be latched into the
TxCNTH register. This allows software to read the
TxCNTH register later and still be assured of atomicity.
TxCAP1H/TxCAP1L Register
The TxCAP1H/TxCAP1L register captures the value of
the counter/timer when the TxCPI1 input is triggered. This
register is read-only.
Reading the TxCAP1L register returns the least-
significant 8 bits of an internal capture register and causes
the most-significant 8-bits of the register to be latched into
the TxCAP1H register. This allows software to read the
TxCAP1H register later and still be assured of atomicity.
TxCMP1H/TxCMP1L Register
In Capture/Compare mode, the TxOUT output pin is
toggled (if enabled by the OEN bit in the TxCFG1 register)
when the counter/timer increments to the value in the
TxCMP1 register. In this mode, the value written to the
TxCMP1 register takes effect immediately.
Writing to the TxCMP1L register causes the value to be
stored in the TxCMP1L register with no other effect.
Writing to the TxCMP1H register causes an internal
compare register to be loaded with a 16-bit value in which
the low 8 bits come from the TxCMP1L register and high
8 bits come from the value being written to the TxCMP1H
register. Software should write the TxCMP1L register
before writing the TxCMP1H register, because writing to
the TxCMP1H register is used as an indication that a new
compare value has been written. Writing to the TxCMP1H
register is required for the new compare value to take
effect. In PWM mode, the 16-bit number latched into the
internal compare register by writing to the TxCMP1H
register does not take effect until the end of the current
PWM cycle.
Reading the TxCMP1H or TxCMP1L registers returns the
previously written value whether or not the value stored in
these registers has been transferred to the internal
compare register by writing to the TxCMP1H register.
TxCAP2H/TxCAP2L or TxCMP2H/TxCMP2L Register
This register may be called the TxCAP2H/TxCAP2L
register or TxCMP2H/TxCMP2L register.
In PWM mode, this register determines the period of the
PWM signal. In this mode, this register is both readable
and writeable. However, on writes the value is not applied
until the end of the current PWM cycle.
Writing to the TxCAP2L register causes the value to be
stored in the TxCAP2L register with no other effect.
Writing to the TxCAP2H register causes an internal
compare register to be loaded with a 16-bit value in which
the low 8 bits come from the TxCAP2L register and the
