EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, Timer 2 counts up to
0FFFFH and then sets the TF2 bit upon overflow. The over-
flow also causes the timer registers to be reloaded with the
16 bit value in RCAP2H and RCAP2L. The values in
RCAP2H and RCAP2L are preset by software. If EXEN2 =
1, a 16 bit reload can be triggered either by an overflow or
TF2 bit. This overflow also causes the 16 bit value in
RCAP2H and RCAP2L to be reloaded into the timer regis-
ters, TH2 and TL2, respectively.
A logic 0 at T2EX makes Timer 2 count down. The timer
underflows when TH2 and TL2 equal the values stored in
RCAP2H and RCAP2L. The underflow sets the TF2 bit and
causes 0FFFFH to be reloaded into the timer registers.
by a 1-to-0 transition at external input T2EX. This transition
also sets the EXF2 bit. Both the TF2 and EXF2 bits can
generate an interrupt if enabled.
The EXF2 bit toggles whenever Timer 2 overflows or
underflows and can be used as a 17th bit of resolution. In
this operating mode, EXF2 does not flag an interrupt.
Setting the DCEN bit enables Timer 2 to count up or down,
as shown in Figure 3. In this mode, the T2EX pin controls
the direction of the count. A logic 1 at T2EX makes Timer 2
count up. The timer will overflow at 0FFFFH and set the
