8.0 TIMER2 MODULE

Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a

postscaler. It can be used as the PWM time base for the

PWM mode of the CCP module(s). The TMR2 register

is readable and writable 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

initialized to FFh upon Reset.

The match output of TMR2 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>).

Timer2 can be shut-off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON

(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.

Register 8-1 shows the Timer2 Control register.

Additional information on timer modules is available in

the “PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference

Manual” (DS33023).

8.1 Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler

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, MCLR Reset, WDT

Reset or BOR)

TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

8.2 Output of TMR2

The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the

SSP module which optionally uses it to generate the

shift clock.
