If TGCR[CAS] = 1, the two timers function as a 32-bit timer with a 32-bit TRR, TCR, and
TCN. In this case, TMR1 and/or TMR3 are ignored, and the modes are deÞned using TMR2
and/or TMR4. The capture is controlled from TIN2 or TIN4 and the interrupts are generated
from TER2 or TER4. In cascaded mode, the combined TRR, TCR, and TCN must be
referenced with 32-bit bus cycles.
17.2.2 Timer Global ConÞguration Registers (TGCR1 and TGCR2)
The timer global conÞguration registers (TGCR1 and TGCR2), shown in Figure 17-3 and
Figure 17-4, contain conÞguration parameters used by the timers. These registers allow
simultaneous starting and stopping of a pair of timers (1 and 2 or 3 and 4) if one bus cycle
is used.
Table 17-1 describes TGCR1 Þelds.

0CAS2 Cascade timers.
0Normal operation.
1Timers 1 and 2 cascade to form a 32-bit timer.
1 Ñ Reserved, should be cleared.
2STP 2 Stop timer.
0Normal operation.
1Reduce power consumption of the timer. This bit stops all clocks to the timer, except the clock
from the internal bus interface, which allows the user to read and write timer registers. The clocks
to the timer remain stopped until the user clears this bit or a hardware reset occurs.
