11.1 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>).
When TMR1CS = 0, Timer1 increments every instruc-
tion cycle. When TMR1CS = 1, Timer1 increments on
every rising edge of the external clock input or the
Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
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, and the pins are read as ‘0’.
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This
RESET can be generated by the CCP module
(Section 14.0).
