15.2

Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode

Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 15-2). When the RD16 control bit of the

T3CON register is set, the address for TMR3H is

mapped to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3.

A read from TMR3L will load the contents of the high

byte of Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer regis-

ter. This provides the user with the ability to accurately

read all 16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine

whether a read of the high byte, followed by a read of

the low byte, has become invalid due to a rollover

between reads.

A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place

through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high

byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a

write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all

16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.

The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or

writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take

place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.

Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.

The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.

15.3

Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the

Timer3 Clock Source

The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock

source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by

setting the T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register. To use

it as the Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must

also be set. As previously noted, this also configures

Timer3 to increment on every rising edge of the

oscillator source.

The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0

“Timer1 Module”.

15.4

Timer3 Interrupt

The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The

Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow

and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF of the PIR2

setting or clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit,

TMR3IE of the PIE2 register.
