18.0 TIMER0 MODULE

The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the

following features:

• 8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)

• 8-bit prescaler (independent of Watchdog Timer)

• Programmable internal or external clock source

• Programmable external clock edge selection

• Interrupt on overflow

• TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1

Figure 18-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.

18.1

Timer0 Operation

The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer

or an 8-bit counter.

18.1.1

8-BIT TIMER MODE

The Timer0 module will increment every instruction

cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is

selected by clearing the TMR0CS bit of the

OPTION_REG register.

When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for

two instruction cycles immediately following the write.

18.1.2

8-BIT COUNTER MODE

In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment

on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin.

8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by

setting the TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to

‘1’.

The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge

for either input source is determined by the TMR0SE bit

in the OPTION_REG register.

BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE TIMER0

Note:

The value written to the TMR0 register

can be adjusted, in order to account for

the two instruction cycle delay when

TMR0 is written.
