TIMER4/5 MODULE 
This section describes the second 32-bit General
Purpose (GP) Timer module (Timer4/5) and associated
operational modes. 
 depicts the simplified
block diagram of the 32-bit Timer4/5 Module.
 and 
 show Timer4/5 configured
as two independent 16-bit timers, Timer4 and Timer5,
respectively.
The Timer4/5 module is similar in operation to the
Timer2/3 module. However, there are some
differences, which are listed below:
• The Timer4/5 module does not support the ADC 
Event Trigger feature
• Timer4/5 cannot be utilized by other peripheral 
modules such as Input Capture and Output Compare
The operating modes of the Timer4/5 module are
determined by setting the appropriate bit(s) in the 16-bit
T4CON and T5CON SFRs. 
For 32-bit timer/counter operation, Timer4 is the lsw
and Timer5 is the msw of the 32-bit timer.

Note:
This data sheet summarizes features of
this group of dsPIC30F devices and is not
intended to be a complete reference
source. For more information on the CPU,
peripherals, register descriptions and gen-
eral device functionality, refer to the
dsPIC30F Family Reference Manual”
(DS70046).
Note:
Timer4 is a Type B timer and Timer5 is a
Type C timer. Please refer to the appropri-
ate timer type in 
.
Note:
For 32-bit timer operation, T5CON control
bits are ignored. Only T4CON control bits
are used for setup and control. Timer4
clock and gate inputs are utilized for the
32-bit timer module, but an interrupt is
generated with the Timer5 Interrupt Flag
(T5IF) and the interrupt is enabled with the
Timer5 Interrupt Enable bit (T5IE).

Note:
Timer Configuration bit T45, T4CON(<3>) must be set to ‘

control bits are respective to the T4CON register.
