PRODUCTION DATA
There is one 24 bit timer which runs off the Interface Clock. It can be used to measure the time between two events, and to generate interrupts after a specific interval. Its clock can be divided down by an 8-bit pre-scalar to provide longer intervals. The timer has two compare registers (Data Registers). Both can be used to generate an interrupt after a time interval. . Additionally, the timer has a shadow register (Data Buffer register) which can be used to store CPU updates of the compare events while still using the timer. The selected shadow register update mode happens after the compare event matches.
The two capture pins TCAP0 and TCAP1 are inputs for recording a capture event. A capture event can be set either to rising, falling, or both edges of the capture pin signal. Upon this event, the counter value is stored in the corresponding capture data register. Five Interrupts from the 24 bit timer can be set, which are the counter rollover event (overflow), capture events 0 and 1, and the two comparison match events. Each interrupt can be disabled or enabled.
