The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management), wave generation, and signal timing measurement.

A block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown below. CPU accessible I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations are listed in Register Description. For the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to the Pin Configurations description.
