Tutorial Timer and Counters

The document contains tutorial questions focused on timers and counters in 8051 microcontrollers, providing examples for generating square waves and calculating time delays. It includes specific code snippets for Timer 0 and Timer 1, along with calculations for duty cycles and frequencies based on a given crystal frequency of 11.0592 MHz. The examples guide users through programming tasks to understand timer operations and their applications in generating specific waveforms.

TUTORIAL QUESTIONS ON TIMERS ANDCOUNTERS 8051 microcontrollers

Example 1

create a square wave of 50% duty cycle (with equal portions high and low) on the P1.5 bit. Timer 0
is used to generate the time delay. Analyze the program. Also calculate the delay generated. Assume
XTAL=11.0592MHz.

Example 1

Find the delay generated by timer 0 in the following code, using hex as wellas decimal method. Do not
include the overhead due to instruction.

Program:

CLR P2.3 ;Clear P2.3


MOV TMOD,#01 ;Timer 0, 16-bitmode
HERE: MOV TL0,#3EH ;TL0=3Eh, the low byte
MOV TH0,#0B8H ;TH0=B8H, the high byte
SETB P2.3 ;SET high timer 0
SETB TR0 ;Start the timer 0
AGAIN: JNB TF0,AGAIN ;Monitor timer flag 0
CLR TR0 ;Stop the timer 0
CLR TF0 ;Clear TF0 for next round
CLR P2.3

Example 3: Assume that XTAL = 11.0592 MHz. What value do we need to load the
timer’s register if we want to have a time delay of 5 ms ? Show the program for timer 0
to create a pulse width of 5 ms on P2.3.

Example 4: Assume that XTAL = 11.0592 MHz, write a program to generate a square
wave of 2 kHz frequency on pin P1.5. Assume XTAL = 11.0592 MHz, find the frequency of the
square wave
generated on pin P1.0 in the following program
Program:
MOV TMOD, #20H ; T1/8-bit/auto reload
MOV TH1, #5 ; TH1 = 5
SETB TR1 ; start the timer 1
BACK: JNB TF1, BACK ; till timer rolls over
CPL P1.0 ; P1.0 to high, low
CLR TF1 ; clear Timer 1 flag
SJMP BACK ; mode 2 is auto-reload
