  • Page 55: Timers

    Timers Timers General The VMICPCI-7755 provides four user-programmable timers (two 16-bit and two 32-bit) which are dedicated completely to user applications and are not required for any standard system function. Each timer is clocked by independent generators with selectable rates of 2MHz, 1MHz, 500kHz and 250kHz. Each timer may be independently enabled and each is capable of generating a system interrupt on timeout.

    Timers result, it is not possible to capture the values of all four timers at a give instance in time. However, by setting this bit to “1”, all four timer outputs will be latched only on reads to the Timer 1 & 2 Current Count Register (TMRCCR12). Therefore, to capture the current count of all four timers at the same time, perform a read to the TMRCCR12 first (with a 32-bit read), followed by a read to TMRCCR3 and TMRCCR4.

    VMICPCI-7755 Product Manual Timer 4 Load Count Register (TMRLCR4) Timer 4 is 32-bits wide and obtains its load count from the Timer 4 Load Count Register (TMRLCR4), located at offset 0x18 from the address in BAR1. The mapping of bits in this register are as follows:...

  • Page 59: Timer 4 Current Count Register (Tmrccr4)

    Timers When this field is read, the current count value is latched and returned. There are two modes that determine how the count is latched depending on the setting of the “Read Latch Select” bit in the WDT Control Status Register (CSR2). See the CSR2 register description for more information on these two modes.

    VMICPCI-7755 Product Manual The “WDT Enable” bit is used to enable the Watchdog Timer function. This bit must be set to “1” in order for the Watchdog Timer to function. Note that since all registers default to zero after reset, the Watchdog Timer is always disabled after a reset. The Watchdog Timer must be re-enabled by the application software after reset in order for the Watchdog Timer to continue to operate.
