53.3 Block Diagram

Table 53-1. Timer Counter Clock Assignment
Name Definition
TIMER_CLOCK1 GCLK [35], GCLK [36]
TIMER_CLOCK2 System bus clock divided by 8
TIMER_CLOCK3 System bus clock divided by 32
TIMER_CLOCK4 System bus clock divided by 128
TIMER_CLOCK5 (See Note) TD_SLCK
Note:
  1. The GCLK frequency must be at least three times lower than peripheral clock frequency.
Figure 53-1. TC Block Diagram
Note:
  1. This figure provides pin names of a first instance of a Timer Counter block (i.e., instance TC0). For any subsequent instances, the signal numbering increments. For example, “TCLK3-TCLK5”, "TIOA3-TIOA5” and "TIOB3-TIOB5” are the external clock input pins of a second Timer Counter block (i.e., instance TC1).
  2. The QDEC connections are detailed in Figure 53-17.
