Operation
5-3 Operation
5-3-1 Operation
Prescaler Operation (Prescaler 0 to 1)
Prescaler 0 is a 7-bit and prescaler 1 is a 3-bit free-running counter that divides the base clock. This
prescaler can be started or stopped by the PSCEN flag of the prescaler control register (PSCMD).
Count Timing of Prescaler Operation (Prescaler 0 and 1)
Prescaler 0 counts up at the falling edge of fosc.
Prescaler 1 counts up at the falling edge of fs.
Peripheral Functions with Prescaler Output Cycle Clock
Table 5-3-1 shows the prescaler output clock source that the peripheral functions can be used, and the
registers that control the clock source selection.
Table 5-3-1 Peripheral Functions Used with Prescaler Output Cycle Clock
When the prescaler output clock source is used, counting of prescaler should be enabled
before starting the peripheral functions.
