6.1.2
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0
module is actually incremented. Figure 6-4 shows the
delay from the external clock edge to the timer
incrementing.
FIGURE 6-4:
6.2
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (WDT), respectively (see Section 9.6 “Watch-
dog Timer (WDT)”). For simplicity, this counter is
being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data
sheet.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1,x, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned
to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler
along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither readable
nor writable. On a Reset, the prescaler contains all ‘0’s.

TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY
The prescaler may be used by either the
Timer0 module or the WDT, but not both.
Thus, a prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 module means that there is no
prescaler for the WDT and vice versa.

6.2.1
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during pro-
gram execution). To avoid an unintended device Reset,
the following instruction sequence (Example 6-1) must
be executed when changing the prescaler assignment
from Timer0 to the WDT.
