Programming AVR Timers II


Week6-Lecture 2/3

Dr. Sara Shakil Qureshi

Outline
• Timers
• Timer as a counter
• Timer Modes
▫ Normal mode
▫ CTC mode
Timer as a counter
Timer as Counter
• So far, we have used timers to generate time
delays

• The AVR timer can also be used to count, detect


and measure time of events happening outside of
AVR.
Timer as Counter
• When the timer is used as a timer, the source of the
frequency is the AVR’s internal crystal.

• When the timer is used as a counter, the pulse outside the


AVR increments the TCNT register.
Timer as Counter
• When the timer is used as a timer, the source of the
frequency is the AVR’s internal crystal.

• When the timer is used as a counter, the pulse outside the


AVR increments the TCNT register.
Timer as Counter: Example
• Find the value for TCCR0 if we want to program Timer0 as
a Normal mode counter. Use an external clock for the
clock source and increment on the positive edge.

Clock Selector (CS)

CS02 CS01 CS00 Comment


0 0 0 No clock source (Timer/Counter stopped)
0 0 1 clk (No Prescaling)
0 1 0 clk / 8
0 1 1 clk / 64
1 0 0 clk / 256
1 0 1 clk / 1024
1 1 0 External clock source on T0 pin. Clock on falling edge
1 1 1 External clock source on T0 pin. Clock on rising edge

Sol: TCCR0 = 0000 0111 Normal, external clock source, no


prescalar
Timer as Counter: Example
• Assuming that a 1 Hz clock pulse is fed into pin
T0 (PB0),
▫ Write a program for Counter0 in normal mode
to count the pulses on falling edge and display
the state of the TCNT0 count on PORTC.
Timer as Counter: Example
CTC Mode Programming
Recall: OCR0 Flag
• OCR0 [Output Compare] Flag: [in CTC
Mode]
▫ The content of the OCR0 is compared with
the contents of the TCNT0, when both are
equal:
 OCR0 flag is set AND
 Timer is cleared
