Peripheral Simulation

For NXP (founded by Philips) LPC1768 — Timers 0-3

Simulation support for this peripheral or feature is comprised of:

• Dialog boxes which display and allow you to change peripheral configuration.

These simulation capabilities are described below.

Timer 0 Dialog

The Timer 0 Dialog displays and changes the settings associated with Timer 0. Timers perform various event timing, capture and measurement tasks.

Prescaler Mode

• PR (Prescale Register) contains the number of MCU clocks (PCLK) required to increment the Timer Counter (TC) value.
• PC (Prescale Counter) contains the current prescale counter value. When this value equals the Prescale Register (PR), the Timer (TC) value is incremented.

Timer Control

• TCR (Timer Control Register) contains Timer Enable and Reset control bits.
• TC (Timer Counter) is the timer counter value. It is incremented when the Prescale Counter (PC) equals the Prescale Register (PR).
