Overflow from TL1 (TL0) sets TF1 (TF0) and also reloads TL1 (TL0) with the contents of Th1 (TH0), which is preset by software. Mode 2 (8 Bit Auto Reload)īoth the timer registers are configured as 8-bit counters (TL1 and TL0) with automatic reload.

As being a full 16-bit timer, the timer may contain up to 65536 distinct values and it will overflow back to 0 after 65,536 machine cycles. Once the value 255 is reached, TLx resets to 0 and then THx is incremented by 1. TLx is incremented starting from 0 to a maximum 255. It functions in the same way as 13-bit mode except that all 16 bits are used. Timer mode "1" is a 16-bit timer and is a commonly used mode. Mode 0 operation is the same for Timer 0 as it is for Timer 1. The timer interrupt flag TF1 is set when the count rolls over from all 1s to all 0s. Setting the run flag (TR1) does not clear the register. The upper 3 bits of TL1 are indeterminate and should be ignored. Timer register is configured as a 13-bit register consisting of all the 8 bits of TH1 and the lower 5 bits of TL1. M1 / M2ĭifferent Modes of Timers Mode 0 (13-Bit Timer Mode)īoth Timer 1 and Timer 0 in Mode 0 operate as 8-bit counters (with a divide-by-32 prescaler).
#Pre timer eon timer serial
It is because the baud rate for serial communication of the 8051.XTAL = 11.0592 allows the 8051 system to communicate with the PC with no errors. Although various 8051 based systems have an XTAL frequency of 10 MHz to 40 MHz, we normally work with the XTAL frequency of 11.0592 MHz. Timer frequency is always 1/12th of the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051. If C/T = 0, the crystal frequency attached to the 8051 also decides the speed at which the 8051 timer ticks at a regular interval. The clock source to create the time delay is the crystal frequency of the 8051. If C/T = 0, it is used as a timer for timer delay generation.
#Pre timer eon timer generator
This bit in the TMOD register is used to decide whether a timer is used as a delay generator or an event manager. Timers can be started and stopped by an external source by making GATE = 1 in the TMOD register. These instructions start and stop the timers as long as GATE = 0 in the TMOD register. The SETB instruction is used to start it and it is stopped by the CLR instruction.
#Pre timer eon timer software
The start and stop of a timer is controlled by software using the instruction SETB TR1 and CLR TR1 for timer 1, and SETB TR0 and CLR TR0 for timer 0. 8051 timers have both software and hardware controls.

Some timers do this by software, some by hardware, and some have both software and hardware controls. Gate − When set, the timer only runs while INT(0,1) is high.Įvery timer has a means of starting and stopping. In each case, the lower 2 bits are used to set the timer mode in advance and the upper 2 bits are used to specify the location. It is an 8-bit register in which the lower 4 bits are set aside for Timer 0 and the upper four bits for Timers. TMOD (Timer Mode) Registerīoth Timer 0 and Timer 1 use the same register to set the various timer operation modes. For example, the instruction MOV TL1, #4H moves the value into the low-byte of Timer 1. These registers can be accessed like any other register. The low-byte register is called TL1 (Timer 1 low byte) and the high-byte register is called TH1 (Timer 1 high byte). The 16-bit register of Timer 1 is accessed as low- and high-byte. For example, the instruction MOV TL0, #4H moves the value into the low-byte of Timer #0. The low-byte register is called TL0 (Timer 0 low byte) and the high-byte register is called TH0 (Timer 0 high byte). The 16-bit register of Timer 0 is accessed as low- and high-byte. Since the 8051 follows an 8-bit architecture, each 16 bit is accessed as two separate registers of low-byte and high-byte. Both Timer 0 and Timer 1 are 16-bit wide. They can be used as timers or as event counters. The 8051 has two timers, Timer 0 and Timer 1. Timers of 8051 and their Associated Registers Maximum count rate is 1/24 of the oscillator frequency.Ī timer uses the frequency of the internal clock, and generates delay.Ī counter uses an external signal to count pulses. Maximum count rate is 1/12 of the oscillator frequency. The register is incremented considering 1 to 0 transition at its corresponding to an external input pin (T0, T1). The register incremented for every machine cycle.
