7.1
Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode
7.2
Timer1 Operation in Synchronized
Counter Mode
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS
(T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the
timer is FOSC/4. The synchronize control bit T1SYNC
(T1CON<2>) has no effect since the internal clock is
always in sync.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In
this mode, the timer increments on every rising edge of
clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI/CCP2, when bit
T1OSCEN is set, or on pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI, when
bit T1OSCEN is cleared.
If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is
synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro-
nization is done after the prescaler stage. The
prescaler stage is an asynchronous ripple counter.
In this configuration during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will
not increment even if the external clock is present,
since the synchronization circuit is shut-off. The
prescaler, however, will continue to increment.

Note 1: When the T1OSCEN bit is cleared, the inverter is turned off. This eliminates power drain.
2: For the PIC16C65B/73B/74B, the Schmitt Trigger is not implemented in External Clock mode.
