11.3.2.4 | Using the Pre-scaler
To get a lower frequency output, there is the facility of using the prescale counter. ere
are two registers associated with ‘prescaling’—the prescale counter and the prescale
register.
e prescale counter increments for every PCLK, and when it counts up to the
value in the prescale counter (T0PR), it allows the timer counter (T0TC) to increment
its value by 1. is causes the T0TC to increment on every PCLK when PR = 0, every
2 PCLKs when PR = 1, every three PCLKs when T0PR = 2, every four PCLKs when
T0PR = 3 and so on. In eff ect, load a number into ...
