ADSP-BF537 Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference
External Interfaces
The core timer does not directly interact with any pins of the chip.
Internal Interfaces
The core timer is accessed through the 32-bit Register Access Bus (RAB).
The module is clocked by the core clock
CCLK
. The timer has its dedicated
interrupt request signal which is of higher priority than all other peripher-
als’ requests.
Description of Operation
It is up to software to initialize the core timer’s counter (
TCOUNT
) before the
timer is enabled. The
TCOUNT
register can be written directly. However,
writes to the
TPERIOD
register are also passed through to
TCOUNT
.
