12.2 Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 also can generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)
provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/
postscaler. This counter generates the TMR2 match
interrupt flag which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).
The interrupt is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match
Interrupt Enable bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS3:T2OUTPS0 (T2CON<6:3>).
12.3 Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source
for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode. Addi-
tional information is provided in Section 16.0 “Master
Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.
