Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a
postscaler. It is especially suitable as PWM time-base
for PWM mode of CCP module(s). TMR2 is a readable
and writable register, and is cleared on any device
reset.
The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,
1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>).
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is ini-
tialized to FFh upon reset.
The match output of the TMR2 register goes through a
4-bit postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling,
inclusive) to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag
bit TMR2IF (PIR1<1>)).
The Timer2 module can be shut off by clearing control
bit TMR2ON (T2CON<2>) to minimize power con-
sumption.
Figure 9-2 shows the Timer2 control register. T2CON is
cleared upon reset which initializes Timer2 as shut off
with the prescaler and postscaler at a 1:1 value.

9.1 Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler
Applicable Devices
61 62 62A R62 63 R63 64 64A R64 65 65A R65 66 67
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device reset (POR, BOR, MCLR Reset, or
WDT Reset).
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.
9.2 Output of TMR2
Applicable Devices
61 62 62A R62 63 R63 64 64A R64 65 65A R65 66 67
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the
Synchronous Serial Port module which optionally uses
it to generate shift clock.
