6.0
The Timer0 module has the following features:
• 8-bit timer/counter register, TMR0
• Readable and writable
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Internal or external clock select:
Figure 6-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will
increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If
TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for
the following two cycles (Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3).
The user can work around this by writing an adjusted
value to the TMR0 register.

Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In this mode, Timer0 will increment
either on every rising or falling edge of pin T0CKI. The
T0SE bit (OPTION<4>) determines the source edge.
Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restric-
tions on the external clock input are discussed in detail
in Section 6.1 “Using Timer0 with an External Clock
(PIC10F200/202)”.
The prescaler may be used by either the Timer0
module or the Watchdog Timer, but not both. The
prescaler assignment is controlled in software by the
control bit, PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing the PSA bit
will assign the prescaler to Timer0. The prescaler is not
readable or writable. When the prescaler is assigned to
the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, 1:256
are selectable. Section 6.2 “Prescaler” details the
operation of the prescaler.
A summary of registers associated with the Timer0
module is found in Table 6-1.
