PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
13.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these
features:
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)
• Timer with gated control
Figure 13-1 displays a simplified block diagram of the
Timer1 module.
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 13-1). It also contains the Timer1
oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
The F
OSC clock source (TMR1CS<1:0> = 01) should
not be used with the ECCP capture/compare features.
If the timer will be used with the capture or compare
features, always select one of the other timer clocking
options.

Legend:
R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 7-6 TMR1CS<1:0>: Timer1 Clock Source Select bits
10 = Timer1 clock source is T1OSC or T1CKI pin
01 = Timer1 clock source is system clock (F
OSC)
(1)
00 = Timer1 clock source is instruction clock (FOSC/4)
bit 5-4 T1CKPS<1:0>: Timer1 Input Clock Prescale Select bits
11 = 1:8 Prescale value
10 = 1:4 Prescale value
01 = 1:2 Prescale value
00 = 1:1 Prescale value
bit 3 T1OSCEN: Timer1 Crystal Oscillator Enable bit
1 = Timer1 oscillator circuit enabled
0 = Timer1 oscillator circuit disabled
The oscillator inverter and feedback resistor are turned off to eliminate power drain.
bit 2 T1SYNC
: Timer1 External Clock Input Synchronization Select bit
TMR1CS
<1:0> = 10:
1 = Do not synchronize external clock input
0 = Synchronize external clock input
TMR1CS
<1:0> = 0x:
This bit is ignored. Timer1 uses the internal clock when TMR1CS<1:0> = 0x.
bit 1 RD16: 16-Bit Read/Write Mode Enable bit
1 = Enables register read/write of Timer1 in one 16-bit operation
0 = Enables register read/write of Timer1 in two 8-bit operations
bit 0 TMR1ON: Timer1 On bit
1 = Enables Timer1
0 =Stops Timer1
Note 1: The F
OSC clock source should not be selected if the timer will be used with the ECCP capture/compare
features.
