24.3. Functional Description of the Timer
The timer supports the following modes of operation:
- Free-running mode—decrementing from the maximum value (0xFFFFFFFF). Reloads maximum value upon reaching zero.
- User-defined count mode—generates a periodic interrupt. Decrements from the user-defined count value loaded from the timer1 load count register (timer1loadcount). Reloads the user-defined count upon reaching zero.
The initial value for the timer (that is, the value from which it counts down) is loaded into the timer by the timer1loadcount register. The following events can cause a timer to load the initial count from the timer1loadcount register: †
- Timer is enabled after being reset or disabled
- Timer counts down to 0
