TIMER mode 'timer' deprecated?

[natersoz]

In both the SDK and production specification (PS 1.4) it is noted that the TIMER (Timer / counter) peripheral in 'COUNTER' mode (0x01) is deprecated.

For implementing a timer, are we supposed to use the 'Low Power Counter Mode' (0x02)?

Thanks,

You have two options on how to feed clock to a timer, either

- "timer mode" (derived from the HFCLK through a prescaler)
or
- "counter mode" (ppi to trigger TASKS_COUNT)

For "counter mode" you should use 'Low Power Counter Mode' (0x02) yes.

Sorry - I phrased the question poorly, - but thanks for the clear answer.
