Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the
mode
(T0CON<5>). In Timer mode, the module increments
on every clock by default unless a different prescaler
value is selected (see Section 11.3 “Prescaler”). If
the TMR0 register is written to, the increment is
inhibited for the following two instruction cycles. The
user can work around this by writing an adjusted value
to the TMR0 register.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In Counter mode, Timer0 increments either on
every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The
incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source
Edge Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>). Clearing this bit
selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external
clock input are discussed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure
that the external clock can be synchronized with the

TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode; it is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0, which is not directly readable nor
writable (refer to Figure 11-2). TMR0H is updated with
the contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high
and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0
to be updated at once.
