Field Description
7:6 Unused register bits, always read 0.

CLKS
Clock Source Select — These two read/write bits select one of four different clock sources as the input to the 
MTIM prescaler. Changing the clock source while the counter is active does not clear the counter. The count 
continues with the new clock source. Reset clears CLKS to 000.
00 Encoding 0. Bus clock (BUSCLK)
01 Encoding 1. Fixed-frequency clock (XCLK)
10 Encoding 3. External source (TCLK pin), falling edge
11 Encoding 4. External source (TCLK pin), rising edge
All other encodings default to the bus clock (BUSCLK).
3:0
PS
Clock Source Prescaler — These four read/write bits select one of nine outputs from the 8-bit prescaler. Changing 
the prescaler value while the counter is active does not clear the counter. The count continues with the new 
prescaler value. Reset clears PS to 0000.
0000  Encoding 0. MTIM clock source ÷ 1
0001  Encoding 1. MTIM clock source ÷ 2
0010  Encoding 2. MTIM clock source ÷ 4
0011  Encoding 3. MTIM clock source ÷ 8
0100  Encoding 4. MTIM clock source ÷ 16
0101  Encoding 5. MTIM clock source ÷ 32
0110  Encoding 6. MTIM clock source ÷ 64
0111  Encoding 7. MTIM clock source ÷ 128
1000  Encoding 8. MTIM clock source ÷ 256
All other encodings default to MTIM clock source ÷ 256.
