19. Programmable Counter Array
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 three 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 125
a programmable timebase that can select between six sources: system clock, system clock divided by four,
system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source 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, Software Timer, High-Speed Output, Fre-
quency Output, 8-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in
Modules” on page 195
allowing the PCA to be clocked by a precision external oscillator while the internal oscillator drives the sys-
tem clock. The PCA is configured and controlled through the system controller's Special Function Regis-
ters. The PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 19.1
Important Note: The PCA Module 2 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 .
