Objectives:: Timers/Counters

This document provides code examples for using timers and counters on the 8051 microcontroller. It includes: 1) A program that generates a 500Hz square wave using Timer 0 by setting the timer reload value to 922 decimal. 2) A program that generates a 1.83kHz square wave using Timer 1 by loading the timer high value with 5. 3) A program that uses Counter 1 in mode 2 to count external clock pulses on pin T1 and display the current count on port P2 LEDs. It starts and stops the counter using the TR1 bit.

Timers/Counters

OBJECTIVES:

 To generate a square wave using the 8051 timer.


 To count external events using counter
REFERENCE:
 Mazidi and McKinlay, “The 8051 Microcontroller and Embedded Systems,”
Chapter 9.

MATERIALS:
 8051 KEIL IDE

Program 1

Write a program using timer 0 to generate a 500 Hz square wave


frequency on one of the pins of P1. Then examine the frequency using the KEIL
IDE inbuilt Logic Analyzer.
Calculation
Given,
F = 500Hz
Step 1:
T = 1/F =1/500 =0.002 Sec
Step 2 :
Take T/2 (i.e) 0.001 Sec
Step 3:
0.001/1.085Micro Sec =921.6=> 922
Step 4:
65536 -922 =(64614)10 => (FC66)16

Code:

ORG 0000H
MOV TMOD,#01H ; Timer 0 Mode1
HERE:MOV TL0,#66H
MOV TH0,#0FCH TF0=0 TF0 =1
CPL P1.0
ACALL DELAY (FC66,FC67,FC68,….. FFFF) 0000
SJMP HERE
DELAY:SETB TR0
AGAIN:JNB TF0,AGAIN
CLR TR0
CLR TF0
RET
END

Program 2

Write a program using timer 1 to generate a 1.83 kHz square wave


frequency on one of the pins of P1. Then examine the frequency using the
oscilloscope. Use Mode2 Timer1

Code:
MOV TMOD,#20H
MOV TH1,#5
SETB TR1
BACK: JNB TF1,BACK
CPL P1.0
CLR TF1
SJMP BACK
END

Program 3

Assuming that clock pulses are fed into pin T1, write a program for counter 1 in
mode 2 to count the pulses and display the state of the TL1 count on P2, which
connects to 8 LEDs.
Code:

MOV TMOD,#60H
MOV TH1,#0 ;clear TH1
SETB P3.5 ; make T1 input
AGAIN: SETB TR1 ; start the counter
BACK: MOV A,TL1 ;get copy of TL
MOV P2,A ;display it on port 2
JNB TF1,Back ;keep doing, if TF = 0
CLR TR1 ; stop the counter 1
CLR TF1 ; make TF=0
SJMP AGAIN
END
