32-bit Mode Timer Operation
The timers are 32-bit up-counter timers. Use
to configure the operating control register for the timer mode. Additional mode information is found
below.
Minimum time-out delay is set by:
• Loading the value 0x0000_0001 into the Timer Compare register,
• Setting the prescale value to 1 in the
field
Maximum time-out delay is set by:
• Loading the value 0x0000_0000 into the Timer Compare register,
• Setting the prescale value to 4096 in the
field
If the timer reaches 0xFFFF_FFFF, the timer rolls over to 0x0000_0000 and continues counting.
The current count value,
, in the timers can be read while the timer is counting and enabled. This read action does not affect the timer’s operation.
As a rule, the timer output is toggled every time the counter is reloaded.
10.4.2.1
One-Shot Mode
In One-Shot mode, the timer counts from the start count value stored in the
up to the 32-bit Compare value stored in the
. Upon
reaching the Compare value, the timer generates an interrupt and the count value in the Timer register is reset to 0x0000_0001. Then, the timer is automatically
