The 8051 has 2 timers/counters:


timer/counter 0 timer/counter 1

They can be used as 1. The timer is used as a time delay generator.


The clock source is the internal crystal frequency of the 8051.

2. An event counter.
External input from input pin to count the number of events on registers. These clock pulses cold represent the number of people passing through an entrance, or the number

In following, we all use timer 0 as an example.


16-bit timer (TH0 and TL0) TH0-TL0 is incremented continuously when TR0 is set to 1. And the 8051 stops to increment TH0-TL0 when TR0 is cleared. The timer works with the internal system clock. In other words, the timer counts up each machine cycle. When the timer (TH0-TL0) reaches its maximum of FFFFH, it rolls over to 0000, and TF0 is raised.

Programmer should check TF0 and stop the timer 0.

Solution: In the above program notice the following steps. 1. TMOD = 0000 0001 is loaded. 2. FFF2H is loaded into TH0 TL0. 3. P1.5 is toggled for the high and low portions of the pulse. 4. The DELAY subroutine using the timer is called. 5. In the DELAY subroutine, timer 0 is started by the SETB TR0 instruction. 6. Timer 0 counts up with the passing of each clock, which is provided by the crystal oscillator. As the timer counts up, it goes through the states of FFF3, FFF4, FFF5, FFF6, FFF7, FFF8, FFF9, FFFA, FFFB, FFFC, FFFFD, FFFE, FFFFH. One more clock rolls it to 0, raising the timer flag (TF0 = 1). At that point, the JNB instruction falls through. 7. Timer 0 is stopped by the instruction CLR TR0. The DELAY subroutine ends, and the process is repeated. Notice that to repeat the process, we must reload the TL and TH registers, and start the timer again (in the main program).

A running timer will be incremented


11,059,000 / 12 = 921,583 times per second. Unlike instructions--some of which require 1 machine cycle, others 2, and others 4--the timers are consistent: They will always be incremented once per machine cycle. Thus if a timer has counted from 0 to 50,000 you may calculate: 50,000 / 921,583 = .0542 seconds have passed. In plain English, about half of a tenth of a second, or onetwentieth of a second.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-34

Obviously its not very useful to know .0542 seconds have passed. If you want to execute an event once per second you would have to wait for the timer to count from 0 to 50,000 18.45 times. How can you wait "half of a time?" You can not. So we come to another important calculation. Lets say we want to know how many times the timer will be incremented in .05 seconds.

We can do simple multiplication: .05 * 921,583 = 46,079.15.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-35

This tells us that it will take .05 seconds (1/20th of a second) to count from 0 to 46,079. Actually, it will take it .049999837 seconds--so were off by .000000163 seconds--however, thats close enough for government work. Consider that if you were building a watch based on the 8051 and made the above assumption your watch would only gain about one second every 2 months. This is accurate enough for most applications A watch would have only gained one second every two months!

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-36

If you know it takes 1/20th of a second to count from 0 to 46,079 and you want to execute some event every second you simply wait for the timer to count from 0 to 46,079 twenty times; then you execute your event, reset the timers, and wait for the timer to count up another 20 times. In this manner you will effectively execute your event once per second, accurate to within thousandths of a second.

MODE 0
It is exactly same as mode 1 except it is a 13-bit timer instead of 16-bit. The timer can hold values between 0000 to 1FFF in TH TL. Therefore, when timer reaches its maximum of 1FFFH, it rolls over to 0000, and TF is raised.

13-bit Time Mode (mode 0)


Timer mode "0" is a 13-bit timer. This is a relic that was kept around in the 8051 to maintain compatability with its predecesor, the 8048. Generally the 13-bit timer mode is not used in new development. When the timer is in 13-bit mode, TLx will count from 0 to 31. When TLx is incremented from 31, it will "reset" to 0 and increment THx. Effectively 13 bits of the two timer bytes are used: bits 0-4 of TLx and bits 0-7 of THx.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-40

The timer can only a contain 8192 as a value. If you set a 13-bit timer to 0, it will overflow back to zero 8192 machine cycles later.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-41

1. This mode configures timer 0 as a 13-bit timer which consists of all 8 bits of TH0 and the lower 5 bits of TL0. 2. As a result, the Timer 0 uses only 13 of 16 bits. How does it operate? 3. Each coming pulse causes the lower register bits to change their states. 4. After receiving 32 pulses, this register is loaded and automatically cleared, while the higher byte (TH0) is incremented by 1. 5. This process is repeated until registers count up 8192 pulses. 6. After that, both registers are cleared and counting starts from 0.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-42

8-bit Time Mode (mode 2)


Timer mode "2" is an 8-bit auto-reload mode. What is that, you may ask? Simple. When a timer is in mode 2, THx holds the "reload value" and TLx is the timer itself. Thus, TLx starts counting up. When TLx reaches 255 and is subsequently incremented, instead of resetting to 0 (as in the case of modes 0 and 1), it will be reset to the value stored in THx.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-43

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-44

It is necessary to constantly count up 55 pulses generated by the clock.


If mode 1 or mode 0 is used, It is necessary to write the number 200 to the timer registers and constantly check whether an overflow has occured, i.e. whether they reached the value 255. When it happens, it is necessary to rewrite the number 200 and repeat the whole procedure.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-45

The same procedure is automatically performed by the microcontroller if set in mode 2. In fact, only the TL0 register operates as a timer, while another (TH0) register stores the value from which the counting starts. When the TL0 register is loaded, instead of being cleared, the contents of TH0 will be reloaded to it. Therefore, in order to register each 55th pulse, the best solution is to write the number 200 to the TH0 register and Microprocessors 1-46 M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Mode 2 is commonly used for setting baud rates for serial communication.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-47

If TH0 holds the value FDh and TL0 holds the value FEh. If we were to watch the values of TH0 and TL0 for a few machine cycles this is what wed see:
Machine Cycle 1 2 TH0 Value FDh FDh TL0 Value FEh FFh

3 FDh FDh 4 FDh FEh 5 FDh FFh 6 FDh FDh 7 FDh FEh TH0 never changed. In mode 2, THx is set. TLx is is incremented.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-48

Split Timer Mode (mode 3)


Timer mode "3" is a split-timer mode. When Timer 0 is placed in mode 3, it essentially becomes two separate 8-bit timers. Timer 0 is TL0 and Timer 1 is TH0. Both timers count from 0 to 255 and overflow back to 0. All the bits that are related to Timer 1 will now be tied to TH0.

While Timer 0 is in split mode, the real Timer 1 (i.e. TH1


and TL1) can be put into modes 0, 1 or 2.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-49

In mode 3, also known as split mode, the Timer breaks into two 8-bit Timers that can count from 00H up to FFH. The initial values are loaded into the higher byte and lower byte of the Timer. In this case the start and flag bits associated with the other Timer are now associated with high byte Timer. So one cannot start or stop the other Timer. The other Timer can be used in modes 0, 1 or 2 and is updated automatically for every machine cycle
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-50

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-51

For example, if Timer0 is used in split mode, TH0 and TL0 will become separate Timers. The start and flag bits associated with Timer1 will now be associated with the TH0. Timer 1 cannot be stopped or started, but will be updated for every machine cycle. Split mode is useful when two Timers are required in addition to a baud rate generator.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-52

In addition, all the control bits of 16-bit Timer 1 (consisting of the TH1 and TL1 register), now control the 8-bit Timer 1. Even though the 16-bit Timer 1 can still be configured to operate in any of modes (mode 1, 2 or 3), it is no longer possible to disable it as there is no control bit to do it. Thus, its operation is restricted when timer 0 is in mode 3.

Reading the Timer


There are two common ways of reading the value of a 16bit timer. Read the actual value of the timer as a 16-bit number. Detect when the timer has overflowed.

Reading the value of a Timer


In an 8-bit mode--that is, i.e., in 8-bit AutoReload mode or in split timer mode, read the 1-byte value of the timer.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-55

If the high byte read the second time is not the same as the high byte read the first time you repeat the cycle. In code, this would appear as:
REPEAT: MOV A,TH0

MOV R0,TL0 CJNE A,TH0,REPEAT


The accumulator gets of Timer 0. Load R0 with the low byte of Timer 0. Check if the high byte of Timer 0, stored in the Accumulator, is the same as the current Timer 0 high byte. ALTERNATELY turn off the timer run bit (i.e. CLR TR0), read the timer value, and then turn on the timer run bit (i.e. SETB TR0).
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-56

. high .byte .

Detecting Timer Overflow When a timer overflows from its highest value back to 0, the microcontroller automatically sets the TFx bit in the TCON register. If TF0/TF1 is set it means that timer 0 has overflowed. Used to provide a fixed delay. The 8051 takes 1/20th of a second to count from 0 to 46,079. To use the TFx flag to indicate when 1/20th of a second has passed, the timer has to be initialised to 65536 less 46079, or 19,457. With the timer set to 19,457, 1/20th of a second later the timer will overflow.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-57

Timing the length of events The 8051 can be used to time the length of events. The crude method applied to a case could be Let's say we're trying to save electricity in the office and we're interested in how long a light is turned on each day. When the light is turned on, we want to measure time. When the light is turned off we don't. One option would be to connect the lightswitch to one of the pins, constantly read the pin, and turn the timer on or off based on the state of that pin. While this would work fine, the 8051 provides us with an easier method of accomplishing this.
Microprocessors 1-58

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Better way is to use GATE0 bit of TMOD SFR. With this as 0, the timer runs regardless of the state of the external pins. An external pin can control the timers running/not running. Connect the lightswitch to pin INT0 (P3.2) on the 8051 and set the bit GATE0. When GATE0 is set Timer 0 will only run if P3.2 is high. When P3.2 is low (i.e., the lightswitch is off) the timer will automatically be stopped. Thus, with no control code whatsoever, the external pin P3.2 can control whether or not our timer is running or not.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-59

USING TIMERS AS EVENT COUNTERS Let's say you had a sensor placed across a road that would send a pulse every time a car passed over it. This could be used to determine the volume of traffic on the road. We could attach this sensor to one of the 8051's I/O lines and constantly monitor it, detecting when it pulsed high and then incrementing our counter when it went back to a low state. This is not terribly difficult, but requires some code. Let's say we hooked the sensor to P1.0; the code to count cars passing would look something like this:

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-60

JNB P1.0,$
JB P1.0,$ INC COUNTER

;If a car hasn't raised the signal, keep waiting


;The line is high which means the car is on the sensor right now ;The car has passed completely, so we count it

With JNB P1.0,$ waiting for a car to pass. STUCK. 8051 provides "C/T0 bit in TCON SFR i.e., it's bit 2 (TCON.2). If the bit is clear then timer 0 will be incremented every machine cycle. If C/T0 set, timer 0 will monitor the P3.4 line. Instead of being incremented every machine cycle, timer 0 will count events on the P3.4 line. Connect sensor to P3.4. Then, reading the value of timer 0, will have number of cars that have passed.
M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com Microprocessors 1-61

What does timer 0 actually "count?" . It counts 1-0 transitions on the P3.4 line. This means that when a car first runs over our sensor it will raise the input to a high ("1") condition. At that point the 8051 will not count anything since this is a 0-1 transition. When the car has passed the sensor will fall back to a low ("0") state. This is a 1-0 transition and at that instant the counter will be incremented by 1.

M_Nokhodchian @ yahoo.com

Microprocessors 1-62

8051 checks the P3.4 line each instruction cycle (12 clock cycles).
If P3.4 is low, goes high, and goes back low in 6 clock cycles it will probably not be detected by the 8051.

Capable of counting events that occur at a maximum of 1/24th the rate of the crystal frequency.
If the crystal frequency is 12.000 Mhz it can count a maximum of 500,000 events per second (12.000 Mhz * 1/24 = 500,000). If the event being counted occurs more than 500,000 times per second it will not be able to be accurately counted by the 8051.
