2.4.6 Timers and Counters
The 80515 has two 16-bit timer/counter registers: Timer 0 and Timer 1. These registers can be configured
for counter or timer operations.
In timer mode, the register is incremented every machine cycle, i.e., it counts up once for every 12 periods
of the MPU clock. In counter mode, the register is incremented when the falling edge is observed at the
corresponding input signal T0 or T1 (T0 and T1 are the timer gating inputs derived from certain DIO pins,
see
2.5.8 Digital I/O ). Since it takes 2 machine cycles to recognize a 1-to-0 event, the maximum input
count rate is 1/2 of the clock frequency (CKMPU). There are no restrictions on the duty cycle, however
to ensure proper recognition of the 0 or 1 state, an input should be stable for at least 1 machine cycle.
Four operating modes can be selected for Timer 0 and Timer 1, as shown in Table 22 and Table 23 . The
TMOD (SFR 0x89) Register, shown in Table 24 , is used to select the appropriate mode. The timer/counter
operation is controlled by the TCON (SFR 0x88) Register, which is shown in Table 25. Bits TR1 (TCON[6])
and TR0 (TCON[4]) in the TCON register start their associated timers when set.
Table 22: Timers/Counters Mode Description
M1 M0 Mode Function
0 0 Mode 0 13-bit Counter/Timer mode with 5 lower bits in the TL0 or TL1 (SFR
0x8A or SFR 0x8B) register and the remaining 8 bits in the TH0 or TH1
(SFR 0x8C or SFR 0x8D) register (for Timer 0 and Timer 1, respectively).
The 3 high order bits of TL0 and TL1 are held at zero.
0 1 Mode 1 16-bit Counter/Timer mode.
1 0 Mode 2 8-bit auto-reload Counter/Timer. The reload value is kept in TH0 or
TH1, while TL0 or TL1 is incremented every machine cycle. When
TL(x) overflows, a value from TH(x) is copied to TL(x) (where x is 0
for counter/timer 0 or 1 for counter/timer 1.
1 1 Mode 3 If Timer 1 M1 and M0 bits are set to 1, Timer 1 stops.
If Timer 0 M1 and M0 bits are set to 1, Timer 0 acts as two independent
8-bit Timer/Counters.
In Mode 3, TL0 is affected by TR0 and gate control bits, and sets the TF0 flag on overflow, while TH0
is affected by the TR1 bit, and the TF1 flag is set on overflow.
Table 23 specifies the combinations of operation modes allowed for Timer 0 and Timer 1.
