Timer/Counter 0, 1, 3, 4, and 5 share the same prescaler module, but the Timer/Counters can
have different prescaler settings. The description below applies to all Timer/Counters. Tn is used
as a general name, n = 0, 1, 3, 4, or 5.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 = 1). This
provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency equal to system
clock frequency (f
clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either f
f
The prescaler is free running, that is, operates independently of the Clock Select logic of the
Timer/Counter, and it is shared by the Timer/Counter Tn. Since the prescaler is not affected by
the Timer/Counter’s clock select, the state of the prescaler will have implications for situations
where a prescaled clock is used. One example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the timer is
enabled and clocked by the prescaler (6 > CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock cycles from
when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles,
where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execu-
tion. However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
An external clock source applied to the Tn pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock (clk
Tn pin is sampled once every system clock cycle by the pin synchronization logic. The synchro-
nized (sampled) signal is then passed through the edge detector.
