TICKS PER MS

// #define TICKSPERMS  1004      // tick in a milli second 

This basicaly means the timer is overflowing for every 1004 milli second rising an Timer interrupt. 

To know how it came you should check the status of OPTION_REG here

OPTION_REG = 0x88;  same in binary form is OPTION_REG = 0x10001000;

This means that prescaler is 2 and clock frequency is FOSC/4.

So to know how the value of 1004 came you should know what crystal your PIC is running on then use the formulae

Delay = ((256-REG_val)*(Prescal*4))/Fosc to calculate the delay value 

let me clear first::

As Pic is 12f675 and the "//__CONFIG(FOSC_INTRCIO)//internal oSC," so it is operating at 4Mhz.

//OPTION_REG = 0x88;// so, PSA is 1 and it is assined to WDT, where TMR0 prescaler is disable here ; TMRO clock source is internal; pullup enable.

as x-tal frq is 4mhz->sys frq is (4/4)1mhz -> this 1 mhz directly come to Timer as prescaler for timer is disable as stated above. >>am i right?

So, TICKS PER uSEC is comming to 1.0

and TICKS PER MS => 1000.0

and timer overflow happen at 256 Ticks/256u SEC.

PLEASE Suggect if i am wrong???

If my review are correct, then what is conceptual meaning of 

sysTick and TimerTick??

Actually my question was :

author of the code below for nec ir protocol receiver,

is considering TICKS PER MS is 1004.-->> How it is coming at 1004 instead of  1000.

is there anything is happening which i am not considering here??

// Global includes
#include <htc.h>

__CONFIG(FOSC_INTRCIO & WDTE_OFF & PWRTE_OFF & MCLRE_OFF & CP_OFF & CPD_OFF);

unsigned int TIMEOUT  =   TICKS11ms;          // the pulse should occur before this time excede Otherwise it is an error 
unsigned int PREPULSE = TICKS8ms;         // the interrupt should occur after this time Otherwise it is an error

Please suggest..

tnx

yes aswinth thmks for your valued knoledge. thks for clear my doubt on the matter.

likewise,  256usec req for 257 count("0" incl zero, ie, 256+1=257)

and thats , for 1000usec --> will [(257/256)*1000] = 1003.9 = = 1004 counts.

once again tnks for clearing my complesity.
