10.11 Timers v1.0 2002-04-23
There are two 32-bit timers that can be initialized and enabled independently of each other. If enabled,
a timer initializes to its start value, written by a processor, and starts decrementing every clock cycle.
When the value goes past zero, an interrupt is sent, and the timer initializes to the value in its start value
register, and continues downcounting. A timer stays in that loop as long as it is enabled.
A timer has a 32-bit timer register for down counting and a 32-bit TIMER1 LH register for holding the
timer start value written by the processor. Timers have also a 2-bit TIMER ENA register. Each timer is
enabled (1) or disabled (0) by a corresponding bit of the enable register.

TIMER CF CLKDIV 7:0 Master clock divider
TIMER CF CLKDIV is the master clock divider for all timer clocks. The generated internal clock
frequency f
i
=
f
m
c+1
, where f
m
is the master clock frequency and c is TIMER CF CLKDIV. Example:
With a 12 MHz master clock, TIMER CF DIV=3 divides the master clock by 4, and the output/sampling
clock would thus be f
i
=
12MHz
3+1
= 3MHz.
