PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX
13.0 TIMER1
This family of PIC32MX devices features one
synchronous/asynchronous 16-bit timer that can operate
as a free-running interval timer for various timing applica-
tions and counting external events. This timer can also
be used with the Low-Power Secondary Oscillator
(S
OSC) for Real-Time Clock (RTC) applications. The
following modes are supported:
• Synchronous Internal Timer
• Synchronous Internal Gated Timer
• Synchronous External Timer
• Asynchronous External Timer
13.1 Additional Supported Features
• Selectable clock prescaler
• Timer operation during CPU Idle and Sleep mode
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET and INV
registers
• Asynchronous mode can be used with the S
OSC
to function as a Real-Time Clock (RTC)
