A subset of the counters modules in the SCTM can function as timers. When operating as timers, interrupts and/or debug input events are generated when the counter value reaches a designated interval. The counters with timer capabilities always occupy the lowest indexed counters in the SCTM. A maximum of eight counters can function as timers in SCTM v1. The actual number for a particular implementation of the SCTM is configured at synthesis time. The number of timers in a particular device is detailed in a device-specific appendix to this specification. Application and debug software can determine the total number of counters with timer capabilities reading the NUMTIMR field in the SCTM_CTCNTL register.
