16.1 Timer3 Gate Control Register
The Timer3 Gate Control register (T3GCON), provided
in Register 14-2, is used to control the Timer3 gate.
REGISTER 16-2: T3GCON: TIMER3 GATE CONTROL REGISTER

R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R-x R/W-0 R/W-0
TMR3GE T3GPOL T3GTM T3GSPM T3GGO/T3DONE
T3GVAL T3GSS1 T3GSS0
bit 7 bit 0
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
TMR3GE: Timer3 Gate Enable bit
If TMR
3ON = 0:
This bit is ignored.
If TMR
3ON = 1:
1 = Timer3 counting is controlled by the Timer3 gate function
0 = Timer3 counts regardless of Timer3 gate function
bit 6
T3GPOL: Timer3 Gate Polarity bit
1 = Timer3 gate is active-high (Timer3 counts when gate is high)
0 = Timer3 gate is active-low (Timer3 counts when gate is low)
bit 5
T3GTM: Timer3 Gate Toggle Mode bit
1 = Timer3 Gate Toggle mode is enabled.
0 = Timer3 Gate Toggle mode is disabled and toggle flip-flop is cleared
Timer3 gate flip-flop toggles on every rising edge.
bit 4
T3GSPM: Timerx Gate Single Pulse Mode bit
1 = Timer3 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled and is controlling Timer3 gate
0 = Timer3 Gate Single Pulse mode is disabled
bit 3
T3GGO/T3DONE: Timer3 Gate Single Pulse Acquisition Status bit
1 = Timer3 Gate Single Pulse mode acquisition is ready, waiting for an edge
0 = Timer3 Gate Single Pulse mode acquisition has completed or has not been started
This bit is automatically cleared when T3GSPM is cleared.
bit 2
T3GVAL: Timer3 Gate Current State bit
Indicates the current state of the Timerx gate that could be provided to TMR3H:TMR3L. Unaffected by
Timerx Gate Enable (TMR3GE) bit.
bit 1-0
T3GSS<1:0>: Timer3 Gate Source Select bits
11 = Comparator 2 output
10 = Comparator 1 output
01 = TMR4 to match PR4 output
00 = Timer3 gate pin
Watchdog Timer oscillator is turned on if TMR3GE =
1, regardless of the state of TMR3ON.
Note 1: Programming the T3GCON prior to T3CON is recommended.
