Clearing the TE bit disables the timer. The TE bit is cleared by the hardware RESET signal or the software
RESET instruction.
NOTE
When timer 0 is disabled and TIO0 is not in GPIO mode, the pin is tri-stated.
To prevent undesired spikes on TIO0 when Timer 0 is switched from
tri-state to an active state, TIO0 should be tied to the power supply with a
pullup or pulldown resistor.
11.3.4.2 TCSR Timer Overflow Interrupt Enable (TOIE) Bit 1
The TOIE bit is used to enable the timer overflow interrupts. Setting TOIE enables overflow interrupt
generation. The timer counter can hold a maximum value of $FFFFFF. When the counter value is at the
maximum value and a new event causes the counter to be incremented to $000000, the timer generates an
overflow interrupt.
Clearing the TOIE bit disables overflow interrupt generation. The TOIE bit is cleared by the hardware
RESET signal or the software RESET instruction.
11.3.4.3 TCSR Timer Compare Interrupt Enable (TCIE) Bit 2
The Timer Compare Interrupt Enable (TCIE) bit is used to enable or disable the timer compare interrupts.
Setting TCIE enables the compare interrupts. In the timer, PWM, or watchdog modes, a compare interrupt
is generated after the counter value matches the value of the TCPR. The counter will start counting up from
the number loaded from the TLR and if the TCPR value is N, an interrupt occurs after (N – M + 1) events,
where M is the value of TLR.
Clearing the TCIE bit disables the compare interrupts. The TCIE bit is cleared by the hardware RESET
signal or the software RESET instruction.
11.3.4.4 TCSR Timer Control (TC[3:0]) Bits 4–7
The four TC bits control the source of the timer clock, the behavior of the TIO0 signal, and the timer mode
of operation. Table 11-2 summarizes the TC bit functionality. A detailed description of the timer operating
modes is given in Section 11.4, "Timer Modes of Operation".
The TC bits are cleared by the hardware RESET signal or the software RESET instruction.
NOTE
If the clock is external, the counter is incremented by the transitions on the
TIO0 signal. The external clock is internally synchronized to the internal
clock, and its frequency should be lower than the internal operating
frequency divided by 4 (CLK/4).
To ensure proper operation, the TC[3:0] bits should be changed only when
the timer is disabled (when the TE bit in the TCSR has been cleared).
