Table 2-16.Triple Timer Signals

Signal Name	Type	State During	Signal Description
Signal Name	Type	Reset	Signal Description
		Reset


TIO0	Input or Output	Input	Timer 0 Schmitt-Trigger Input/Output— When Timer 0
			functions as an external event counter or in measurement
			mode, TIO0 is used as input. When Timer 0 functions in
			watchdog, timer, or pulse modulation mode, TIO0 is used as
			output.
			The default mode after reset is GPIO input. This can be
			changed to output or configured as a timer I/O through the
			timer 0 control/status register (TCSR0).
			This signal has a weak keeper to maintain the last state even
			if all drivers are tri-stated.

TIO1	Input or Output	Input	Timer 1 Schmitt-Trigger Input/Output— When Timer 1
			functions as an external event counter or in measurement
			mode, TIO1 is used as input. When Timer 1 functions in
			watchdog, timer, or pulse modulation mode, TIO1 is used as
			output.
			The default mode after reset is GPIO input. This can be
			changed to output or configured as a timer I/O through the
			timer 1 control/status register (TCSR1).
			This signal has a weak keeper to maintain the last state even
			if all drivers are tri-stated.

TIO2	Input or Output	Input	Timer 2 Schmitt-Trigger Input/Output— When timer 2
			functions as an external event counter or in measurement
			mode, TIO2 is used as input. When timer 2 functions in
			watchdog, timer, or pulse modulation mode, TIO2 is used as
			output.
			The default mode after reset is GPIO input. This can be
			changed to output or configured as a timer I/O through the
			timer 2 control/status register (TCSR2).
			This signal has a weak keeper to maintain the last state even
			if all drivers are tri-stated.
