26.6.2 Timer Operation in Idle Mode

When the device enters Idle mode, the system clock sources remain functional and the CPU stops executing code. The Timer module can optionally continue to operate in Idle mode.

The setting of the SIDL bit (TxCON[13]) determines whether the Timer module stops in Idle mode or continues to operate normally. If SIDL = 0, the Timer Module continues operation in Idle mode. If SIDL = 1, the Timer module stops in Idle mode.
