10.3.11.1. Functional Description

Each timer is private, meaning that only its associated processor can access it. If the watchdog timer is not needed, it can be configured as a second interval timer.

Each private interval and watchdog timer has the following features:

  • A 32-bit counter that optionally generates an interrupt when it reaches zero
  • Configurable starting values for the counter
  • An eight‑bit prescaler value to qualify the clock period
