PIC16F87X
In timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. In counter mode, it increments on every rising
edge of the external clock input.

TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting
of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L), which are
readable and writable. The TMR1 Register pair
(TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh
and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 Interrupt, if enabled,
is generated on overflow, which is latched in interrupt
flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt
enable bit TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can
be generated by either of the two CCP modules
(Section 8.0). Register 6-1 shows the Timer1 control
register.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI
pins become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored.
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:
• As a timer
• As a counter
Additional information on timer modules is available in
the PICmicro™ Mid-range MCU Family Reference
Manual (DS33023).
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).

T1OSCEN: Timer1 Oscillator Enable Control bit
1= Oscillator is enabled
0= Oscillator is shut off (The oscillator inverter is turned off to eliminate power drain)

This bit is ignored. Timer1 uses the internal clock when TMR1CS = 0.
