67.3 Block Diagram

Table 67-1. Timer Counter Clock Assignment
Name Definition
TIMER_CLOCK1 GCLK [TC_ID]
TIMER_CLOCK2 MCK0/8
TIMER_CLOCK3 MCK0/32
TIMER_CLOCK4 MCK0/128
TIMER_CLOCK5 (1) TD_SLCK
Note:
  1. The GCLK[TC_ID] frequency must be at least three times lower than peripheral clock frequency.
Figure 67-1. TC Block Diagram
Note:
  1. The above figure provides pin names of a first instance of a Timer Counter module (i.e., instance TC0). For any subsequent instances, the signal numbering increments. For example, “TCLK3- TCLK5”, "TIOA3-TIOA5” and "TIOB3-TIOB5” are the external I/O pins of a second Timer Counter module (i.e., instance TC1).
  2. QDEC connections are detailed in Figure 67-18.
