13.2 Programmable Clock Output
In the Clock-out mode, Timer 2 operates as a 50%-duty-cycle, programmable clock generator
(See Figure 13-2). The input clock increments TL2 at frequency F
CLK PERIPH
/2. The timer repeat-
edly counts to overflow from a loaded value. At overflow, the contents of RCAP2H and RCAP2L
registers are loaded into TH2 and TL2. In this mode, Timer 2 overflows do not generate inter-
rupts. The following formula gives the Clock-out frequency as a function of the system oscillator
frequency and the value in the RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers
For a 16 MHz system clock, Timer 2 has a programmable frequency range of 61 Hz
(F
CLK PERIPH
/2
16)
to 4 MHz (F
CLK PERIPH
/4). The generated clock signal is brought out to T2 pin
(P1.0).
Timer 2 is programmed for the Clock-out mode as follows:
• Set T2OE bit in T2MOD register.
• Clear C/T2 bit in T2CON register.
• Determine the 16-bit reload value from the formula and enter it in RCAP2H/RCAP2L
registers.
• Enter a 16-bit initial value in timer registers TH2/TL2. It can be the same as the reload value
or a different one depending on the application.
• To start the timer, set TR2 run control bit in T2CON register.
