Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter2 and Timer/Counter1 share the same prescaler module, but the
Timer/Counters can have different prescaler settings. The description below applies to all of the
mentioned Timer/Counters.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 = 1). This
provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency equal to system
clock frequency (f
clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either f
f
The prescaler is free running, for example, it operates independently of the Clock Select logic of
the Timer/Counter, and it is shared by Timer/Counter1, Timer/Counter2, and Timer/Counter3.
Since the prescaler is not affected by the Timer/Counter’s clock select, the state of the prescaler
will have implications for situations where a prescaled clock is used. One example of prescaling
artifacts occurs when the timer is enabled and clocked by the prescaler (6 > CSn2:0 > 1). The
number of system clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be
from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles, where N equals the prescaler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the Prescaler Reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execu-
tion. However, care must be taken if the other Timer/Counter that shares the same prescaler
also use prescaling. A Prescaler Reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Counters it is
connected to.
An external clock source applied to the Tn pin can be used as Timer/Counter clock

logic. The registers are clocked at the positive edge of the internal system clock (

The edge detector generates one clk
tive (CSn2:0 = 6) edge it detects.

The synchronization and edge detector logic introduces a delay of 2.5 to 3.5 system clock cycles
from an edge has been applied to the Tn pin to the counter is updated.
Enabling and disabling of the clock input must be done when Tn has been stable for at least one
system clock cycle, otherwise it is a risk that a false Timer/Counter clock pulse is generated.
Each half period of the external clock applied must be longer than one system clock cycle to
ensure correct sampling. The external clock must be guaranteed to have less than half the sys-
