EVENT PROCESSOR ARRAY (EPA)
10.3 TIMER/COUNTER FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The EPA has two 16-bit up/down timer/counters, timer 1 and timer 2, which can be clocked in-
ternally or externally. Each is called a timer if it is clocked internally and a counter if it is clocked
externally. Figure 10-2 illustrates the timer/counter structure.
