Timer 2 Control Register. Contains the receive clock, transmit clock, and capture/reload bits used to
configure timer 2. Also contains the run control bit, counter/timer select bit, overflow flag, external flag,
and external enable for timer 2.

Function
7 TF2 Timer 2 Overflow Flag:
Set by timer 2 overflow. Must be cleared by software. TF2 is not set if
RCLK = 1 or TCLK = 1.
6 EXF2 Timer 2 External Flag:
If EXEN2 = 1, capture or reload caused by a negative transition on T2EX
sets EFX2. EXF2 does not cause an interrupt in up/down counter mode
(DCEN = 1).
5 RCLK Receive Clock Bit:
Selects timer 2 overflow pulses (RCLK = 1) or timer 1 overflow pulses
(RCLK = 0) as the baud rate generator for serial port modes 1 and 3.
4 TCLK Transmit Clock Bit:
Selects timer 2 overflow pulses (TCLK = 1) or timer 1 overflow pulses
(TCLK = 0) as the baud rate generator for serial port modes 1 and 3.
3 EXEN2 Timer 2 External Enable Bit:
Setting EXEN2 causes a capture or reload to occur as a result of a
negative transition on T2EX unless timer 2 is being used as the baud
rate generator for the serial port. Clearing EXEN2 causes timer 2 to
ignore events at T2EX.
2 TR2 Timer 2 Run Control Bit:
Setting this bit starts the timer.
1 C/T2# Timer 2 Counter/Timer Select:
C/T2# = 0 selects timer operation: timer 2 counts the divided-down
system clock. C/T2# = 1 selects counter operation: timer 2 counts
negative transitions on external pin T2.
0 CP/RL2# Capture/Reload Bit:
When set, captures occur on negative transitions at T2EX if EXEN2 = 1.
When cleared, auto-reloads occur on timer 2 overflows or negative
transitions at T2EX if EXEN2 = 1. The CP/RL2# bit is ignored and timer 2
forced to auto-reload on timer 2 overflow, if RCLK = 1 or TCLK = 1.
