TMR0 STATUS/CONTROL REGISTER
(T0STA)
This register contains various control bits. Bit7
(INTEDG) is used to control the edge upon which a sig-
nal on the RA0/INT pin will set the RB0/INT interrupt
flag. The other bits configure the Timer0 prescaler and
clock source. (Figure 11-1).

bit 6:
INTEDG: RA0/INT Pin Interrupt Edge Select bit
This bit selects the edge upon which the interrupt is detected.
1 = Rising edge of RA0/INT pin generates interrupt
0 = Falling edge of RA0/INT pin generates interrupt
T0SE: Timer0 Clock Input Edge Select bit
This bit selects the edge upon which TMR0 will increment.
When T0CS = 0
1 = Rising edge of RA1/T0CKI pin increments TMR0 and/or generates a T0CKIF interrupt
0 = Falling edge of RA1/T0CKI pin increments TMR0 and/or generates a T0CKIF interrupt
When T0CS = 1
Don’t care
bit 5:
T0CS: Timer0 Clock Source Select bit
This bit selects the clock source for Timer0.
1 = Internal instruction clock cycle (TCY)
0 = T0CKI pin
bit 4-1: PS3:PS0: Timer0 Prescale Selection bits
These bits select the prescale value for Timer0.
