Prescaler

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the

Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog

Timer. For simplicity, this counter will be referred to as

“prescaler” throughout this data sheet. The prescaler

assignment is controlled in software by the control bit

PSA (OPTION_REG<3>). Clearing the PSA bit will

assign the prescaler to Timer0. Prescale values are

selectable via the PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG<2:0>).

The prescaler is not readable or writable. When

assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing

to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1,

MOVWF 1,

BSF 1,

x....etc.

) will clear the prescaler. When

assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the

prescaler along with the Watchdog Timer.

5.4.1

SWITCHING PRESCALER

ASSIGNMENT

The prescaler assignment is fully under software control

(i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program

execution). To avoid an unintended device Reset, the

following

instruction

sequence

(Example 5-1

and

Example 5-2) must be executed when changing the

prescaler assignment from Timer0 to WDT.

EXAMPLE 5-1:

CHANGING PRESCALER

(TIMER0

→ WDT)

To change prescaler from the WDT to the TMR0

module, use the sequence shown in Example 5-2. This

precaution must be taken even if the WDT is disabled.

EXAMPLE 5-2:

CHANGING PRESCALER

(WDT

→ TIMER0)
