RefreshNotes - 8051 Timer Delay Calculation

The document discusses how to calculate the initial timer register values needed for delays in microseconds on an 8051 microcontroller clocked at 12MHz. It explains that the timer increments every 1 microsecond, and that the 16-bit timer can count up to 65536. To get a delay of X microseconds, the timer needs to count to X. It gives an example of calculating the TH and TL register values for a 1000 microsecond (1 millisecond) delay.

8051 Timer Delay Calculation Embedded System


Microcomputer
While designing delay programs in 8051, calculating the initial value that has 8051
to be loaded in to TH and TL registers forms a very important thing. Let us
C Programming
see how it is done.
Maths
Assume the processor is clocked by a 12MHz crystal. Tamil
That means, the timer clock input will be 12MHz/12 = 1MHz Website
That means, the time taken for the timer to make one increment =
1/1MHz = 1uS Blog Archive

For a time delay of X s the timer has to make X increments. April (101)
2^16 = 65536 is the maximum number of counts possible for a 16
bit timer. About Me

Let YY be the value that has to be loaded to TH register and XX be Kathireshan Ganesan
the value that has to be loaded to TL register. Follow 32

Then, YYXX = Hexadecimal equivalent of (65536-X) where (65536- View my complete prole
X) is considered in decimal.
Example:
Let the required delay be 1000uS (ie; 1mS).
That means X = 1000
65536 X = 65536 1000 = 64536.
64536 is considered in decimal and converting it t0 hexadecimal gives FC18
That means YYXX = FC18
Therefore TH=FC and TL=18
