A Timer 2 Example
Application Note
24
V1.0, 2006-12
It can be noticed that by reducing the clock frequency of the CPU and peripheral, the
devices will require less current to run.
8.3
Prescaler Mode Current
The program is now programmed to run in prescaler mode with slow-down mode and
slow-down-idle mode. The timer reload value for every measurement was changed such
that the timer will overflow in every 20 ms.
