  • Page 46: Timers

    3.3 Timers 3.3.1 General The V7865 provides four user-programmable timers (two 16-bit and two 32-bit) which are completely dedicated to user applications and are not required for any standard system function. Each timer is clocked by independent generators with selectable rates of 2 MHz, 1 MHz, 500 kHz and 250 kHz. Each timer may be independently enabled and each is capable of generating a system interrupt on timeout.

  • Page 47: Timer Control Status Register 2 (Tcsr2)

    Each timer can be independently enabled by writing a “1” to the appropriate “Timer x Enable” field. Similarly, the generation of interrupts by each timer can be independently enabled by writing a “1” to the appropriate “Timer x IRQ Enable” field. If an interrupt is generated by a timer, the source of the interrupt may be determined by reading the “Timer x Caused IRQ”...
