Figure 15-2. Clock Selection
The Peripheral Clock (clk
in a device). A selection of the prescaler outputs from 1 to 1/2024 is directly available. In addition
the whole range from 1 to 2
The clock selection (CLKSEL) selects one of the clock prescaler outputs or an event channel for
the High Byte Counter (CNTH) and Low Byte Counter (CNTL). By using the Event System, any
event source such as an external clock signal on any I/O pin can be used as clock input.
By default no clock input is selected and the Counters are not running.
The Counters will always count in single slope mode. Each Counter counts down for each clock
cycle until it reaches BOTTOM, and then reloads the Counter with the Period Register value at
the following clok cycle.
Figure 15-3. Counter Operation
As shown in
access has higher priority than count, and reloads and will be immediate.
The Counter period is changed by writing a new TOP value to the Period Register. Since the
Counter is counting down, the Period Register can be written at any time without affecting the
current period as shown in
of odd waveforms.
