Programmable

Counter Array (PCA)

The PCA provides more timing capabilities with less CPU intervention than the standard

timer/counters. Its advantages include reduced software overhead and improved accu-

racy. The PCA consists of a dedicated timer/counter which serves as the time base for

an array of five compare/capture modules. Its clock input can be programmed to count

any of the following signals:

•

PCA clock frequency/6 (see “clock” section)

•

PCA clock frequency/2

•

Timer 0 overflow

•

External input on ECI (P1.2)

Each compare/capture modules can be programmed in any one of the following modes:

•

rising and/or falling edge capture,

•

software timer,

•

high-speed output,

•

pulse width modulator.

Module 4 can also be programmed as a WatchDog timer. see the "PCA WatchDog

Timer" section.

When the compare/capture modules are programmed in capture mode, software timer,

or high speed output mode, an interrupt can be generated when the module executes its

function. All five modules plus the PCA timer overflow share one interrupt vector.

The PCA timer/counter and compare/capture modules share Port 1 for external I/Os.

These pins are listed below. If the port is not used for the PCA, it can still be used for

standard I/O.

PCA Timer

The PCA timer is a common time base for all five modules (see Figure 53). The timer

count source is determined from the CPS1 and CPS0 bits in the CMOD SFR (see Table

8) and can be programmed to run at:

•

1/6 the PCA clock frequency.

•

1/2 the PCA clock frequency.

•

the Timer 0 overflow.

•

the input on the ECI pin (P1.2).
