Abstract: A timer circuit is provided. The timer circuit can provide register(s) (105) having information for each of two or more groups, wherein the information for each group indicates a tick count of a first clock signal (109) to count before providing a second clock signal (107). Also, the timer circuit provides circuitry (103), which selects one of the groups to be a current group and initializing a number of ticks. The circuitry (103) receives the first clock signal (109). Responsive to a tick on the first clock signal (109), the circuitry (103) counts the number of ticks. Responsive to the first clock signal (109), when the number of ticks reaches the tick count for the current group, the circuitry (103) provides the second clock signal (107).
