Section 4.3.2.15, “Time Counter Register (TMCNT),” describes the time counter register.

4.1.4

Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT)

The periodic interrupt timer consists of a 16-bit counter clocked by timersclk. The 16-bit counter

decrements to zero when loaded with a value from the periodic interrupt timer count register (PITC); after

the timer reaches zero, PISCR[PS] is set and an interrupt is generated if PISCR[PIE] = 1. At the next input

clock edge, the value in the PITC is loaded into the counter and the process repeats. When a new value is

loaded into the PITC, the PIT is updated, the divider is reset, and the counter begins counting.

Setting PS creates a pending interrupt that remains pending until PS is cleared. If PS is set again before

being cleared, the interrupt remains pending until PS is cleared. Any write to the PITC stops the current

countdown and the count resumes with the new value in PITC. If PTE = 0, the PIT cannot count and retains

the old count value. The PIT is not affected by reads. Figure 4-5 is a block diagram of the PIT.

The time-out period is calculated as follows:

This gives a range from 122 µs (PITC = 0x0000) to 8 seconds (PITC = 0xFFFF).
