Combination Timer 2 and Timer 3
Combination Mode 10:
Frequency Measurement or
Event Counter with Time Gate
Timer 2 mode 1/2:
12-bit compare counter/8-bit compare counter and
4-bit prescaler
Timer 2 output mode 1/6: Timer 2 compare match toggles (TOG2) to the Timer 3
Timer 3 mode 3:
Timer/Counter; internal trigger restart and internal capture
(with Timer 2 TOG2-signal)
The counter is driven by an external (T3I) clock source. The output signal (TOG2) of
Timer 2 resets the counter. The counter value before reset is saved in the capture regis-
ter. If single-action mode is activated for one or both compare registers, the trigger
signal restarts also the single actions. This mode can be used for frequency measure-
ments or as event counter with time gate.
