18.3.1 Programmable Postscaler

Timer0 has 16 programmable output postscaler options ranging from 1:1 to 1:16. The postscaler values are selected using the T0OUTPS bits. The postscaler divides the output of Timer0 by the selected ratio.

The postscaler counter is not directly readable or writable. The postscaler counter is cleared on the following events:

• A write to the TMR0L register
• A write to either the T0CON0 or T0CON1 registers
• Any device Reset
