5.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module timer/counter has the following fea-
tures:
• 16-bit timer/counter
• Readable and writable
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt on overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• Reset from CCP module trigger
Timer1 has a control register, shown in Register 5-1.
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Figure 5-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer1
module.
Additional information on timer modules is available in
the PIC
®
MCU Mid-Range Reference Manual,
(DS33023).
5.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
•As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
In timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. In counter mode, it increments on every rising
edge of the external clock input.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored.
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can
be generated by the CCP module as a special event
trigger (Section 7.0).

11 = 1:8 Prescale value
10 = 1:4 Prescale value
01 = 1:2 Prescale value
00 = 1:1 Prescale value
bit 3: T1OSCEN: Timer1 Oscillator Enable Control bit
1 = Oscillator is enabled (TRISC<1:0> ignored)
0 = Oscillator is shut off
(The oscillator is turned off to reduce power drain
bit 2: T1SYNC
: Timer1 External Clock Input Synchronization Control bit
T
MR1CS = 1
1 = Do not synchronize external clock input
0 = Synchronize external clock input
T
MR1CS = 0
This bit is ignored. Timer1 uses the internal clock when TMR1CS = 0.
bit 1: TMR1CS: Timer1 Clock Source Select bit
1 = External clock from pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI (on the rising edge)
0 = Internal clock (F
OSC/4)
bit 0: TMR1ON: Timer1 On bit
1 = Enables Timer1
0 = Stops Timer1
