Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar

8.9.5 Timer interrupt pulse

The timer interrupt is generated as a pulsed signal when TAM or TBM are set logic 1. The

pulse generator for the timer interrupt also uses an internal clock, but this time it is

dependent on the selected source clock for the timer and on the timer register value n.

Consequently, the width of the interrupt pulse varies; see Table 41 and Table 42.

[1]

n = loaded timer register value. Timer stops when n = 0.

For timer B, interrupt pulse width is programmable via bit TBW (register Tmr_B_freq_ctrl).

In this example, bit TAM is set logic 1 and the SF flag is not cleared after an interrupt.

Fig 21. Example for second interrupt when TAM = 1

In this example, bit TAM is set logic 0 and the SF flag is cleared after an interrupt.
