7.3 Programmable clock out
A 50% duty cycle clock can be programmed to come out on P1.0. This pin, besides begin a regular I/O pin, has two
alternate functions. It can be programmed (1) to input the external clock for Timer/Counter 2 or (2) to output a 50%
duty cycle clock. An example is that the clock output ranges from 61Hz to 4MHz at a 16MHz oscillator frequency if
in 12T mode.
To configure the Timer/Counter 2 as a clock generator, bit C/ T2 (T2CON.1) must be cleared and bit
T2OE(T2MOD.1) must be set. Bit TR2 (T2CON.2) starts and stops the timer.
The Clock-Out frequency depends on the oscillator frequency and the reload value of Timer 2 capture registers
(RCAP2H, RCAP2L) as shown in this equation:
Oscillator Frequency
Clock-Out Frequency =
4× (65536 − RCAP2H, RCAP2L)
In the clock-out mode, Timer 2 roll-overs will not generate an interrupt. This is similar to when Timer 2 is used as a
baud-rate generator. It is possible to use Timer 2 as a baud-rate generator and a clock generator simultaneously.
Note, however, that the baud-rate and clock-out frequencies can not be determined independently from one
another since they both use RCAP2H and RCAP2L.
