Timer_Config

Definition:

    typedef struct TIMER_CONFIG {
        Timer_Type which_timer; 
        float frequency;
        uint pbclk;
        void (*callback); 
        boolean enabled; 
    }Timer_Config; 

The Timer_Config structure is made up of 5 different parameters and is used for defining the characteristics of a timer.

Parameters:

• Timer_Type which_timer: The which_timer parameter describes which timer the structure is to be associated with.
• float frequency: The frequency parameter should specify the desired frequency that a timer should interrupt at
• uint pbclk: the pbclk parameter contains the frequency of the peripheral bus clock. This is used to accurately determine timer frequency
• void *callback: The callback parameter is the function callback for the timer interrupt service routine. For more information, please refer to the Callback Information
• boolean enabled: This parameter specifies whether the timer should be enabled upon initialization. This can be either TRUE or FALSE
