Considerations in Asynchronous

Counter Mode

Following a Timer1 interrupt and an update to the

TMR1 registers, the Timer1 module uses a falling edge

on its clock source to trigger the next register update on

the rising edge. If the update is completed after the

clock input has fallen, the next rising edge will not be

counted.

If the application can reliably update TMR1 before the

timer input goes low, no additional action is needed.

Otherwise, an adjusted update can be performed

following a later Timer1 increment. This can be done by

monitoring TMR1L within the interrupt routine until it

increments, and then updating the TMR1H:TMR1L

period of the clock source. Assuming that Timer1 is

being used as a Real-Time Clock, the clock source is a

32.768 kHz crystal oscillator; in this case, one half

period of the clock is 15.25

μs.

The Real-Time Clock application code in Example 12-1

shows a typical ISR for Timer1, as well as the optional

code required if the update cannot be done reliably

within the required interval.
