 File &amp;quot;nrf_drv_config.h&amp;quot; defines both TIMER1_CONFIG_BIT_WIDTH and TIMER2_CONFIG_BIT_WIDTH as &amp;quot;TIMER_BITMODE_BITMODE_16Bit&amp;quot;, can these timers be configured as 24 bit / 32 bit timers as well? 
 I am asking because after changing TIMER1_CONFIG_BIT_WIDTH</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:41:08 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/10870/nrf51-dk-timers" /><item><title>RE: nRF51 DK timers</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/40667?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:41:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:25979bca-90df-423f-b401-112999c5ccdc</guid><dc:creator>Ole Bauck</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The documentation can be somewhat confusing because it is split up into a Reference Manual and a Product Specification. The Product Specification will tell you what is actually available on the specific chip. On nRF51x22, TIMER1 and TIMER2 have only bitwidth 8/16, while TIMER0 has bitwidth 8/16/24/32. All timers have 4 compare registers. This information is in the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.pdf.ps/nRF51822_PS_v3.1.pdf"&gt;Product Specification&lt;/a&gt; part 4.2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can decide if you want to use the driver nrf_drv_timer or if you want to manipulate the registers dircetly (like in the github example), this is a matter of taste. I will advise you to not do both (at the same time) if you dont absolutely know what you are doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
