6.1.2

TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY

Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the

internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the

external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0

module is actually incremented. Figure 6-4 shows the

delay from the external clock edge to the timer

incrementing.

6.2

Prescaler

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the

Timer0 module or as a postscaler for the Watchdog

Timer

(WDT),

respectively

(see

Section 9.6

“Watchdog Timer (WDT)”). For simplicity, this counter

is being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data

sheet.

The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine

prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.

When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions

writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,

BSF 1,x

, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned

to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler

along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither readable

nor writable. On a Reset, the prescaler contains all ‘0’s.

6.2.1

SWITCHING PRESCALER

ASSIGNMENT

The prescaler assignment is fully under software

control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during

program execution). To avoid an unintended device

Reset, the following instruction sequence (Example 6-1)

must be executed when changing the prescaler

assignment from Timer0 to the WDT.

Note 1:

Delay from clock input change to Timer0 increment is 3 TOSC to 7 TOSC (Duration of Q = TOSC). Therefore, the error

in measuring the interval between two edges on Timer0 input = ±4 TOSC max.

External clock if no prescaler selected; prescaler output otherwise.

The arrows indicate the points in time where sampling occurs.

Note:

The prescaler may be used by either the

Timer0 module or the WDT, but not both.

Thus, a prescaler assignment for the

Timer0 module means that there is no

prescaler for the WDT and vice versa.
