TIMER1 MODULE 1. Module: Timer1 (Asynchronous Counter) applies any time the TMR1H register is written. If the TMR1H register is not completely written to during the high pulse of the external clock, then the TMR1L register will miss a count due to the circuit operation stated previously. The high pulse of a 32.768 kHz external clock crystal yields a 15.25 s window for the write to TMR1H to occur. The amount of instructions that can be executed within this window is frequency dependent, as shown in Table 1 below. When writing to the TMR1H register, under specific conditions, it is possible that the TMR1L register will miss a count while connected to the external oscillator via the T1OSO and T1OSI pins. When Timer1 is started, the circuitry looks for a falling edge before a rising edge can increment the counter. Writing to the TMR1H register is similar to starting Timer1; therefore, the former logic stated TABLE 1: FREQUENCY DEPENDENT INSTRUCTION EXECUTION AMOUNTS FOSC TCY (s) TCY within 15.25 s 1 MHz 4 3.81 2 MHz 2 7.63 4 MHz 1 15.25 8 MHz 0.5 30.5 16 MHz 0.25 61 20 MHz 0.2 76.25 40 MHz (PIC18) 0.1 152.5 Work around Operating Conditions: FOSC 4 MHz, no wake-ups from Sleep, Timer1 interrupt enabled, global interrupts enabled. The code excerpts in Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 show how the TMR1H register can be updated while the external clock (32.768 kHz) is still on its high pulse. (c) 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. The importance of the code examples is that the bold instructions are executed within the first 15.25 s high pulse on the external clock after the Timer1 overflow occurred. This will allow the TMR1L register to increment correctly.

If the only code in the ISR is to reload Timer1, then they are not required, but may be required if additional code is added. DS80233C-page 4 (c) 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: * Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. * Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. * There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip's Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. * Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. * Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as "unbreakable." Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.
