Hi, Aravind,

As you know that the LPC824 has SCTimer/PWM module, which can count the tick from external pad, so you use the SCTimer as a free-running counter.

Pls refer to the CONFIG register, for example you can use the one of SCT_PIN[0:3] signal as tick signal, for example, you use SCT_PIN0 signal as tick source, you can set the CONFIG[CLKMODE]=0x3, CONFIG[CKSEL]=0x0 0r 0x1.

You have to set up the SCT0_INMUX[0] to selcet the SCT_PIN0 by SCT0_INMUX[0]=0x00;

for example, you connect the external clock signal to pin PIO0_7 as SCT0_PIN0 signal, you can write PINASSIGN6=7<<24. it is okay.

Pls refer to the application note an11538, which has simple example code as free-running Timer.

Hope it can help you
