Timer Interface Module (TIM1)
16.3.1 TIM1 Counter Prescaler
The TIM1 clock source is one of the seven prescaler outputs or the external clock input pin, T1CLK if
available. The prescaler generates seven clock rates from the internal bus clock. The prescaler select
bits, PS[2:0], in the TIM1 status and control register (T1SC) select the clock source.
16.3.2 Input Capture
With the input capture function, the TIM1 can capture the time at which an external event occurs. When
an active edge occurs on the pin of an input capture channel, the TIM1 latches the contents of the counter
into the TIM1 channel registers, T1CHxH:T1CHxL. The polarity of the active edge is programmable. Input
captures can be enabled to generate interrupt requests.
16.3.3 Output Compare
With the output compare function, the TIM1 can generate a periodic pulse with a programmable polarity,
duration, and frequency. When the counter reaches the value in the registers of an output compare
channel, the TIM1 can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin. Output compares can be enabled to generate
interrupt requests.
16.3.3.1 Unbuffered Output Compare
Any output compare channel can generate unbuffered output compare pulses as described in
Output
the new value over the old value currently in the TIM1 channel registers.
An unsynchronized write to the TIM1 channel registers to change an output compare value could cause
incorrect operation for up to two counter overflow periods. For example, writing a new value before the
counter reaches the old value but after the counter reaches the new value prevents any compare during
that counter overflow period. Also, using a TIM1 overflow interrupt routine to write a new, smaller output
compare value may cause the compare to be missed. The TIM1 may pass the new value before it is
written.
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the output compare value on channel x:
16.3.3.2 Buffered Output Compare
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered output compare channel whose output appears on the
T1CH0 pin. The TIM1 channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIM1 channel 0 status and control register (T1SC0) links channel 0 and channel 1.
The output compare value in the TIM1 channel 0 registers initially controls the output on the T1CH0 pin.
Writing to the TIM1 channel 1 registers enables the TIM1 channel 1 registers to synchronously control the

When changing to a smaller value, enable channel x output compare interrupts and write the new
value in the output compare interrupt routine. The output compare interrupt occurs at the end of
the current output compare pulse. The interrupt routine has until the end of the counter overflow
period to write the new value.
When changing to a larger output compare value, enable TIM1 overflow interrupts and write the
new value in the TIM1 overflow interrupt routine. The TIM1 overflow interrupt occurs at the end of
the current counter overflow period. Writing a larger value in an output compare interrupt routine
(at the end of the current pulse) could cause two output compares to occur in the same counter
overflow period.
Compare. The pulses are unbuffered because changing the output compare value requires writing
