Functional Description
MCK/16
The Periodic Interval Timer (PIT) provides the operating system’s scheduler interrupt. It is
designed to offer maximum accuracy and efficient management, even for systems with long
response time.
The Periodic Interval Timer aims at providing periodic interrupts for use by operating systems.
The PIT provides a programmable overflow counter and a reset-on-read feature. It is built
around two counters: a 20-bit CPIV counter and a 12-bit PICNT counter. Both counters work
at Master Clock /16.
The first 20-bit CPIV counter increments from 0 up to a programmable overflow value set in
the field PIV of the Mode Register (PIT_MR). When the counter CPIV reaches this value, it
resets to 0 and increments the Periodic Interval Counter, PICNT. The status bit PITS in the
Status Register (PIT_SR) rises and triggers an interrupt, provided the interrupt is enabled
(PITIEN in PIT_MR).
Writing a new PIV value in PIT_MR does not reset/restart the counters.
