8051 TIMERS: 8051 Microcontroller Suresh.P.Nair, HOD - ECE, RCET 1

This document discusses the timers in the 8051 microcontroller. It describes the TMOD and TCON registers used to configure the timers. Timer 0 and Timer 1 each have 3 modes - mode 0 is a 13-bit timer, mode 1 is a 16-bit timer, and mode 2 is an 8-bit autoreload timer. The document provides detailed diagrams explaining the operation of each timer mode. It also gives examples of programming the timers by setting the TMOD register values and calculating the timer clock frequency.

Programming Timers
Example: Indicate which mode and which timer are
selected for each of the following.
(a) MOV TMOD, #01H (b) MOV TMOD, #20H (c)
MOV TMOD, #12H
Solution: We convert the value from hex to binary.
(a) TMOD = 00000001, mode 1 of timer 0 is selected.
(b) TMOD = 00100000, mode 2 of timer 1 is selected.
(c) TMOD = 00010010, mode 2 of timer 0, and mode
1 of timer 1
are selected.

Programming Timers
Find the timers clock frequency and its period for
various 8051-based system, with the crystal
frequency 11.0592 MHz when C/T bit of TMOD is 0.
Solution:

1/12 11.0529 MHz = 921.6


MHz;
T = 1/921.6 kHz = 1.085 us
