Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
As a timer
As a synchronous counter
As an asynchronous counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON register).
When TMR1CS is clear, Timer1 increments every
instruction cycle. When TMR1CS is set, Timer1 incre-
ments on every rising edge of the external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored.
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This
RESET can be generated by the CCP module
