propriate Timer Control Register, is low, the

Timer/EventCounter will increment each time the asso-

ciated external timer pin receives a low to high transi-

tion. If the Active Edge Select bit is high, the

Timer/Event Counter will increment each time the exter-

nal timer pin receives a high to low transition. When it is

full and overflows, an interrupt signal is generated and

the Timer/Event Counter will reload the value already

loaded into the preload register and continue counting.

The interrupt can be disabled by ensuring that the asso-

ciated Timer/Event Counter Interrupt Enable bit in the

Interrupt Control Register, is reset to zero.

As the external timer pin is shared with an I/O pin, to en-

sure that the pin is configured to operate as an event

counter input pin, two things have to happen. The first is

to ensure that the Operating Mode Select bits in the

Timer Control Register place the Timer/Event Counter in

the Event Counting Mode, the second is to ensure that

the port control register configures the pin as an input. It

should be noted that in the event counting mode, even if

the microcontroller is in the Power Down Mode, the

Timer/Event Counter will continue to record externally

changing logic events on the timer input pin. As a result

when the timer overflows it will generate a timer interrupt

and corresponding wake-up source.

Configuring the Pulse Width Measurement Mode

In this mode, the Timer/Event Counter can be utilised to

measure the width of external pulses applied to the ex-

ternal timer pins. To operate in this mode, the Operating

Mode Select bit pair in the appropriate Timer Control

Register must be set to the correct value as shown.

In this mode, a choice of internal clocks can be used as

the Timer/Event Counter clock. However this clock

source is further divided by a prescaler, the value of

which is determined by the Prescaler Rate Select bits,

which are bits 0~2 in the respective Timer Control Reg-

ister. After the other bits in the appropriate Timer Con-

trol Register have been setup, the enable bit, which is bit

4 of the Timer Control Register, can be set high to en-

able the Timer/Event Counter, however it will not actu-

ally start counting until an active edge is received on the

external timer pin.

If the Active Edge Select bit, which is bit 3 of the Timer

Control Register, is low, once a high to low transition has

been received on the related external timer pin, the

Timer/Event Counter will start counting until the external

timer pin returns to its original high level. At this point the

enable bit will be automatically reset to zero and the

Timer/Event Counter will stop counting. If the Active

Edge Select bit is high, the Timer/Event Counter will be-

gin counting once a low to high transition has been re-

ceived on the external timer pin and stop counting when

the external timer pin returns to its original low level. As

before, the enable bit will be automatically reset to zero

and the Timer/Event Counter will stop counting. It is im-

portant to note that in the Pulse Width Measurement

Mode, the enable bit is automatically reset to zero when

the external control signal on the external timer pin re-

turns to its original level, whereas in the other two

modes the enable bit can only be reset to zero under

program control.

The residual value in the Timer/Event Counter, which

can now be read by the program, therefore represents

the length of the pulse received on the external timer

pin. As the enable bit has now been reset, any further

transitions on the external timer pin will be ignored. Not

until the enable bit is again set high by the program can
