4 Using UTMR as Timer2 (TMR2) with Hardware Limit Timer (HLT)

TMR2 is an 8-bit timer with separate counter and period registers. It has Hardware Limit Timer (HLT) capabilities based on an External Reset Source (ERS) input. TMR2 can operate in three different modes:
  • Free-Running Period mode
  • One-Shot mode
  • Monostable mode

The following sections describe how the UTMR can be used as a TMR2 in each of the three modes.
