IX - GENERAL PURPOSE TIMER UNIT

The GPT unit is a flexible multifunctional timer/

counter structure which is used for time related

tasks such as event timing and counting, pulse

width and duty cycle measurements, pulse

generation, or pulse multiplication. The GPT unit

contains five 16-bit timers organized into two

separate modules GPT1 and GPT2. Each timer in

each module may operate independently in

several different modes, or may be concatenated

with another timer of the same module.

IX.1 - GPT1

Each of the three timers T2, T3, T4 of the GPT1

module can be configured individually for one of

four basic modes of operation: timer, gated

timer, counter mode and incremental interface

mode. In timer mode, the input clock for a timer is

derived from the CPU clock, divided by a pro-

grammable prescaler. In counter mode, the timer

is clocked in reference to external events. Pulse

width or duty cycle measurement is supported in

gated timer mode where the operation of a timer is

controlled by the ‘gate’ level on an external input

pin. For these purposes, each timer has one asso-

ciated port pin (TxIN) which is the gate or the

clock input.

The table below lists the timer input frequencies,

resolution and periods for each pre-scaler option

at 25MHz CPU clock. This also applies to the

Gated Timer Mode of T3 and to the auxiliary

timers T2 and T4 in Timer and Gated Timer Mode

(see Table 6).

The count direction (up/down) for each timer is

programmable by software or may additionally be

altered dynamically by an external signal on a port

pin (TxEUD).

In Incremental Interface Mode, the GPT1 timers

(T2, T3, T4) can be directly connected to the

incremental position sensor signals A and B by

their respective inputs TxIN and TxEUD. Direction

and count signals are internally derived from

these two input signals so that the contents of the

respective timer Tx corresponds to the sensor

position. The third position sensor signal TOP0

can be connected to an interrupt input.

Timer T3 has output toggle latches (TxOTL) which

changes state on each timer over-flow/underflow.

The state of this latch may be output on port pins

(TxOUT) e. g. for time out monitoring of external

hardware components, or may be used internally

to clock timers T2 and T4 for high resolution mea-

surement of long time periods.

In addition to their basic operating modes, timers

T2 and T4 may be configured as reload or capture

registers for timer T3. When used as capture or

reload registers, timers T2 and T4 are stopped.

The contents of timer T3 is captured into T2 or T4

in response to a signal at their associated input

pins (TxIN). Timer T3 is reloaded with the

contents of T2 or T4 triggered either by an

external signal or by a selectable state transition

of its toggle latch T3OTL. When both T2 and T4

are configured to alternately reload T3 on

opposite state transitions of T3OTL with the low

and high times of a PWM signal, this signal

can be constantly generated without software

intervention.
