timer speed

Giannis,

The 64-bit timers do not have the same speed as the CorePac clock speed. The TSC Time Stamp Counter does run at the same speed as the CorePac clock speed, but it is not generally considered a timer.

You can find this information in the Data Manual and the Timer64 User's Guide. Please look there to find the answer to what might be your next question: how fast do they run?

RandyP

thank you for your answer. how can i program it to do a compand for example in 10ms  and 10μs?

Giannis,

Which device are you using?

I do not know what "compand" means in this context.

You can find operation and programming information in the Timer64 User's Guide.

You may be able to use SYS/BIOS to program the Timer registers. Please look in the MCSDK for examples and more information.

Regards,
RandyP

Hi RandyP,

I have a similar question. The data sheet says that the internal clock for the timer is CPU/6 which is obtained by the PLL controller. My question is from where will the timer get the clock input if PLL is not initialized. The reason is, without PLL being initialized, we are getting the timer profile value 1/8 times the expected value. But, after initializing main PLL, we get the exact expected value. So why is the divide by 8 factor when PLL is not initialized?? A brief explanation of this will be really helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Have also raised a thread for the same. May be you can reply there so that it might be helpful for other viewers.
