PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with Floating Point Unit (EF) Family
14.0 TIMER2/3, TIMER4/5, TIMER6/7,
AND TIMER8/9
This family of devices features eight synchronous
16-bit timers (default) that can operate as a free-
running interval timer for various timing applications
and counting external events.
The following modes are supported:
• Synchronous internal 16-bit timer
• Synchronous internal 16-bit gated timer
• Synchronous external 16-bit timer
Four 32-bit synchronous timers are available by
combining Timer2 with Timer3, Timer4 with Timer5,
Timer6 with Timer7, and Timer8 with Timer9.
The 32-bit timers can operate in one of three modes:
• Synchronous internal 32-bit timer
• Synchronous internal 32-bit gated timer
• Synchronous external 32-bit timer
14.1 Additional Supported Features
• Selectable clock prescaler
• Timers operational during CPU idle
• Time base for Input Capture and Output Compare
modules (Timer2 through Timer7 only)
• ADC event trigger (Timer3 and Timer5 only)
• Fast bit manipulation using CLR, SET, and INV
registers
