The device includes several types of timers used by the system software, including 16 general-purpose (GP) timers, one watchdog timer, and a 32-kHz synchronized timer (COUNTER_32K). Figure 22-1 is a high-level block diagram of the device timers.
The watchdog timer is clocked with 32-kHz clocks. The 32-kHz sync timer, which is reset only at power up, provides the operating system (OS) with a stable timing source that stores the relative time since the last power cycle of the product. The fifteen GP timers, which are useful as basic timers, are included to generate time-stamp-based interrupts to the system software or to use as a source of pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals.
