Prescaler Count Register

The Prescaler Count Register is an 8-bit counter used to generate the 1 MHz clock for the two tick timers. This register is a read-only register located at address $FFF42014. It increments to $FF at the BCLK frequency, then it is loaded from the Prescaler Clock Adjust Register.

Prescaler Clock Adjust Register

Note The PCCchip2 runs at half the MPU speed on the MVME177P. For example, an MVME177P with a 50 MHz MPU will run the PCCchip2 at 25 MHz.

The Prescaler Clock Adjust Register is an 8-bit read/write register located at address $FFF42015. It is required to adjust the prescaler so that it maintains a 1 MHz clock source for the tick timers, regardless of what
