PIC16C7X
8.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting
of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L) which are
readable and writable. The TMR1 Register pair
(TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh
and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 Interrupt, if enabled,
is generated on overflow which is latched in interrupt
flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt
enable bit TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:
• As a timer
• As a 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.
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can
be generated by either of the two CCP modules
(Section 10.0). Figure 8-1 shows the Timer1 control
register.
For the PIC16C72/73A/74A/76/77, when the Timer1
oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is set), the RC1/
T1OSI/CCP2 and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins become
inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is ignored.
For the PIC16C73/74, when the Timer1 oscillator is
enabled (T1OSCEN is set), RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 pin
becomes an input, however the RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI
pin will have to be configured as an input by setting the
TRISC<0> bit.

bit 3: T1OSCEN: Timer1 Oscillator Enable Control bit
1 = Oscillator is enabled

Note: The oscillator inverter and feedback resistor are turned off to eliminate power drain
bit 2: T1SYNC
: Timer1 External Clock Input Synchronization Control bit
TMR1CS = 1
1 = Do not synchronize external clock input
0 = Synchronize external clock input
TMR1CS = 0
This bit is ignored. Timer1 uses the internal clock when TMR1CS = 0.

1 = External clock from pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI (on the rising edge)
0 = Internal clock (F

bit 0: TMR1ON: Timer1 On bit
1 = Enables Timer1
0 = Stops Timer1
