Functional Description
MCK/16
The Periodic Interval Timer (PIT) provides the operating system’s scheduler interrupt. It is
designed to offer maximum accuracy and efficient management, even for systems with long
response time.
The Periodic Interval Timer aims at providing periodic interrupts for use by operating systems.
The PIT provides a programmable overflow counter and a reset-on-read feature. It is built
around two counters: a 20-bit CPIV counter and a 12-bit PICNT counter. Both counters work at
Master Clock /16.
• Includes a 20-bit Periodic Counter, with less than 1μs accuracy
• Includes a 12-bit Interval Overlay Counter
• Real Time OS or Linux/WinCE compliant tick generator
