Table 3.7 Timer/Counter Square Wave Output
This table is for 10MHz input clock. Scale appropriately for other clock rates:
Period (µs) = 512 x 2
Clock Select
/ (Input Clock in MHz)
Frequency (Hz) = 1,000,000 / Period (µs).
For 20MHz and 40MHz operation, the numbers should be scaled accordingly.
For pulsewidth long output, Table 3.8 gives the possible choices for pulsetrain repetition frequencies.
Table 3.8 Timer/Counter Pulsetrain Output
This table is for 10MHz input clock. Scale appropriately for other clock rates:
Period (ms) = 131.072 x 2
Clock Select
/ (Input Clock in MHz)
Frequency (Hz) = 1,000 / Period (ms)
As with all CMOS devices, floating I/O pins can cause excessive current consumption. To avoid this, declare all
unused I/O pins as bit output. Alternatively, unused I/O pins may be connected to + V
DD
or GND.
