LPC804 timer issue

[ravindra]

i 

I am planning to use LPC804 mcu for digital panel meter product.so i have concern about 32 bit general purpose timer with 4 match output mentioned in datasheet.

Can someone explain to us what does it exactly mean?

My concern is that  one 32 bit timer, can be split into 4 match outputs , as 8 bit timer, each?

please refer the attachment

Regards,

Hello @ravindra,

This module its found under the name of CTIMER, this is a single timer that has 4 match registers, when the count of the timer is equal to one of these registers you can do one of the following possibilities: 

• Generate an interrupt.
• Reset the Timer Counter
• Stop the timer. 

More information is found in the User Manual, Chapter 16.
