PWM 8051

The document describes implementing pulse width modulation (PWM) on an 8051 microcontroller using timers and interrupts. Timer 0 is configured in mode 0 to generate PWM. The interrupt service routine toggles a pin high and low based on a timer value to create the PWM waveform. The duty cycle is controlled by varying the value loaded into the timer register on the high period. Three sentences or less: The document provides an assembly and C code example of using an 8051 timer and interrupts to generate PWM by toggling an output pin high and low based on timer values, with the duty cycle controlled by the value loaded during the high period.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) 8051 Code example Idea Behind Implementation The basic idea behind PWM

implementation on 8051 is using timers and switching p ort pin highlow at defined intervals. As we have discussed in the introduction o f PWM that by changing the Ton time, we can vary the width of square wave keepin g same time period of the square wave. We will be using 8051 Timer0 in Mode 0. Values for high and low level will be lo aded in such a way that total delay remains same. If for high level we load a va lue X in TH0 then for low level TH0 will be loaded with 255-X so that total rema ins as 255. Assembly Code Example Timer setup for PWM CODE PWMPIN EQU P1.0 ; PWM output pin PWM_SETUP MOV TMOD,#00H ; Timer0 in Mode 0 MOV R7, #160 ; Set pulse width control ; The value loaded in R7 is value X as ; discussed above. SETB EA ; Enable Interrupts SETB ET0 ; Enable Timer 0 Interrupt SETB TR0 ; Start Timer RET

Interrupt Service Routine CODE TIMER_0_INTERRUPT JB F0, HIGH_DONE LOW_DONE SETB F0 SETB PWMPIN MOV TH0, R7 CLR TF0 RETI HIGH_DONE CLR CLR MOV CLR F0 PWMPIN A, #0FFH C

; If F0 flag is set then we just finished ; the high section of the ; cycle so Jump to HIGH_DONE ; Make F0=1 to indicate start of high section ; Make PWM output pin High ; Load high byte of timer with R7 ; (pulse width control value) ; Clear the Timer 0 interrupt flag ; Return from Interrupt to where ; the program came from

SUBB A, R7 MOV TH0, A CLR TF0 RETI

; Make F0=0 to indicate start of low section ; Make PWM output pin low ; Move FFH (255) to A ; Clear C (the carry bit) so it does ; not affect the subtraction ; Subtract R7 from A. A = 255 - R7. ; so the value loaded into TH0 + R7 = 255 ; Clear the Timer 0 interrupt flag ; Return from Interrupt to where ; the program came from

In your main program you need to call this PWM_SETUP routine and your controller

will have a PWM output. Timer Interrupt service routine will take care of PWM i n the background. The width of PWM can be changed by changing the value of R7 re gister. In above example I am using 160, you can choose any value from 0 to 255. R7 = 0 will give you op 0V approx and R7 = 255 will give you 5V approx. You can also make use of Timer1 if you want. And the output pin can be changed t o whatever pin you want. C Code Example Timer setup for PWM in C CODE Global variables and definition #define PWMPIN P1_0 unsigned char pwm_width; bit pwm_flag = 0; void pwm_setup(){ TMOD = 0; pwm_width = 160; EA = 1; ET0 = 1; TR0 = 1; }

Interrupt Service Routine CODE void timer0() interrupt 1 { if(!pwm_flag) { Start of High level pwm_flag = 1; Set flag PWMPIN = 1; Set PWM op pin TH0 = pwm_width; Load timer TF0 = 0; Clear interrupt flag return; Return } else { Start of Low level pwm_flag = 0; Clear flag PWMPIN = 0; Clear PWM op pin TH0 = 255 - pwm_width; Load timer TF0 = 0; Clear Interrupt flag return; return } }

Now your normal 8051 is capable of PWM output.
