18.1 How to read this chapter
18.2 Basic configuration
The RI timer is configured through the following registers:
•
Power to the register interface: set the RIT bit in the AHBCLKCTRL1 register,
.
18.3 Features
•
48-bit counter running from the main clock. Counter can be free-running or be reset
by a generated interrupt.
•
48-bit compare value.
•
48-bit compare mask. An interrupt is generated when the counter value equals the
compare value, after masking. This allows for combinations not possible with a simple
compare.
18.4 General description
The Repetitive Interrupt Timer (RIT) provides a versatile means of generating interrupts at
specified time intervals, without using a standard timer. It is intended for repeating
interrupts that aren’t related to Operating System interrupts. The RIT could also be used
as an alternative to the System Tick Timer if there are different system requirements.
