TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT

CONSIDERATIONS

The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power

during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the

oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing

signals in close proximity.

The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be

located as close as possible to the microcontroller.

There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator

circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.

If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscilla-

tor (such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM

mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a

grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as

shown in Figure 12-4, may be helpful when used on a

single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.

Timer1 Interrupt

The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The

Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,

which is

latched in interrupt

flag

bit, TMR1IF

(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled

by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,

TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).

12.5

Resetting Timer1 Using the CCP

Special Event Trigger

If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer1

and generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode

(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this

signal will reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will also

start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled

(see Section 15.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more

information).

The module must be configured as either a timer or a

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.

When used this way, the CCPRH:CCPRL register pair

effectively becomes a period register for Timer1.

If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,

this Reset operation may not work.

In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a

special Event Trigger, the write operation will take

precedence.

12.6

Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock

Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the

one described in Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”

above) gives users the option to include RTC function-

ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an

inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time

base and several lines of application code to calculate

the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a

battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can

completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC

device and battery backup.

The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in

Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to

increment a counter at one-second intervals using an

Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 reg-

ister pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls the

routine, which increments the seconds counter by one;

additional

counters

for

minutes

and

hours

are

incremented as the previous counter overflow.

Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to

overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock

would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the

required one-second intervals, it is necessary to pre-

load it; the simplest method is to set the MSb of TMR1H

with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L register is

never preloaded or altered; doing so may introduce

cumulative error over many cycles.

For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in

Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt

must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the

routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be

enabled and running at all times.

Note:

The Special Event Triggers from the

CCP2 module will not set the TMR1IF
