CPU timers 0 and 1 are connected to PERx.SYSCLK. Timer 2 is connected to PERx.SYSCLK by default, but may also be connected to INTOSC1, INTOSC2, XTAL, or AUXPLLCLK via the TMR2CLKCTL register. This register also provides a separate prescale divider for timer 2. If a source other than SYSCLK is used, the SYSCLK frequency must be at least twice the source frequency to ensure correct sampling.
The main reason to use a non-SYSCLK source would be for internal frequency measurement. In most applications, timer 2 runs off of the SYSCLK.
