11.0 TIMER2/3 FEATURE

The Timer2/3 feature has 32-bit timers that can also be

configured as two independent 16-bit timers with

selectable operating modes.

As a 32-bit timer, the Timer2/3 feature permits

operation in three modes:

• Two Independent 16-bit timers (Timer2 and

Timer3) with all 16-bit operating modes (except

Asynchronous Counter mode)

• Single 32-bit timer (Timer2/3)

• Single 32-bit synchronous counter (Timer2/3)

The Timer2/3 feature also supports:

• Timer gate operation

• Selectable Prescaler Settings

• Timer operation during Idle and Sleep modes

• Interrupt on a 32-bit Period Register Match

• Time Base for Input Capture and Output Compare

Modules (Timer2 and Timer3 only)

• ADC1 Event Trigger (Timer2/3 only)

Individually, all eight of the 16-bit timers can function as

synchronous timers or counters. They also offer the

features listed above, except for the event trigger. The

operating modes and enabled features are determined

by setting the appropriate bit(s) in the T2CON and

T3CON registers. T2CON registers are shown in

generic form in Register 11-1. T3CON registers are

shown in Register 11-2.

For 32-bit timer/counter operation, Timer2 is the least

significant word, and Timer3 is the most significant

word of the 32-bit timers.

11.1

32-bit Operation

To configure the Timer2/3 feature for 32-bit operation:

Set the corresponding T32 control bit.

Select the prescaler ratio for Timer2 using the

TCKPS<1:0> bits.

Set the Clock and Gating modes using the

corresponding TCS and TGATE bits.

Load the timer period value. PR3 contains the

most significant word of the value, while PR2

contains the least significant word.

If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable

bit, T3IE. Use the priority bits T3IP<2:0> to set

the interrupt priority. While Timer2 controls the

timer, the interrupt appears as a Timer3

interrupt.

Set the corresponding TON bit.

The timer value at any point is stored in the register

pair TMR3:TMR2. TMR3 always contains the most

significant word of the count, while TMR2 contains the

least significant word.

To configure any of the timers for individual 16-bit

operation:

Clear the T32 bit corresponding to that timer.

Select the timer prescaler ratio using the

TCKPS<1:0> bits.

Set the Clock and Gating modes using the TCS

and TGATE bits.

Load the timer period value into the PRx

If interrupts are required, set the interrupt enable

bit, TxIE. Use the priority bits, TxIP<2:0>, to set

the interrupt priority.

Set the TON bit.

This data sheet summarizes the features

of the PIC24HJ12GP201/202 devices. It is

Note:

For 32-bit operation, T3CON control bits

are ignored. Only T2CON control bit is

used for setup and control. Timer2 clock

and gate inputs are used for the 32-bit

timer modules, but an interrupt is gener-

ated with the Timer3 interrupt flags.
