25. Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality while requiring less CPU
intervention than the standard 8051 counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer
and six 16-bit capture/compare modules. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line
(CEXn) which is routed through the Crossbar to Port I/O when enabled (See
Crossbar Decoder” on page 149
a programmable timebase that can select between seven sources: system clock, system clock divided by
four, system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source divided by 8, smaRTClock Clock
divided by 8, Timer 0 overflow, or an external clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare
module may be configured to operate independently in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Soft-
ware Timer, High-Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in
Section “25.2. Capture/Compare Modules” on page 251
through the system controller's Special Function Registers. The PCA block diagram is shown in
Figure 25.1
Important Note: The PCA Module 5 may be used as a watchdog timer (WDT), and is enabled in this mode
following a system reset. Access to certain PCA registers is restricted while WDT mode is enabled .
