TIMER2 MODULE

The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:

• 8-bit timer and period registers (TMR2 and PR2,

respectively)

• Readable and writable (both registers)

• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4 and

1:16)

• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through

1:16)

• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match

• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP

module

The module is controlled through the T2CON register

(Register 13-1), which enables or disables the timer

and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2

can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON

(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.

A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in

Figure 13-1.

13.1

Timer2 Operation

In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on

each clock (FOSC/4). A 2-bit counter/prescaler on the

clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and divide-

by-16 prescale options. These options are selected by

the

prescaler

control

bits,

T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0

(T2CON<1:0>). The value of TMR2 is compared to that

of the period register, PR2, on each clock cycle. When

the two values match, the comparator generates a

match signal as the timer output. This signal also resets

the value of TMR2 to 00h on the next cycle and drives

the

output

counter/postscaler

(see

Section 13.2

“Timer2 Interrupt”).

The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable

and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any

device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.

Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared

on the following events:

• a write to the TMR2 register

• a write to the T2CON register

• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,

Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)

TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.
