Description of 8253 timer
As a DIP package Intel 8253 is a 24-pin programmable IC available. IChas three counters which work independently and whose width is of16-bits. In addition, we have a control port to decide what is the mode of working of the three counters. The physical and functional pin diagrams of them are indicated below.

| Vcc and Gn |
These are the Power supply and ground pins which 8253 uses +5V as power supply |
| D7-0 |
For the communication of the processor there are eight functional pins |
| RD* |
This reads counter information it is active low pin |
| WR* |
Writes control information |
| CS* |
It selects the chip which is also active low pin |
| A1,A0 |
These are the address input pins. |
| CLK0 |
Clock input is provided for counter 0 |
| CLK1 |
Clock input is provided for counter 1 |
| CLK2 |
Clock input is provided for counter 2 |
| Gate0 |
Controls counter function 0 |
| Gate1 |
Controls function of counter 1 |
| Gate2 |
Controls function of counter 2 |
| Out0 |
Here counter 0 sends output |
| Out1 |
Here counter 1 sends output |
| Out2 |
Again counter 2 sends the output |
