INTERVAL TIMER
Used as a timer interface to INTEL processors
Introduction
2
Coincidence?
8051 is also
auto reloaded in
mode 2
N-1 cycles OUT
= H.
Nth cycle OUT =
L
Repeats
endlessly
Gate = L, waits
Dr. D. Muralidharan 4/9/19 until gate is high
MODE 3
14
Duty cycle is either N/2N (50 percent –Square wave – when N is even)
or (N+1)/2N (more than 50 percent – NOT a perfect square wave –
When N is odd
Gate is used to
trigger the count (of
course, it is used in all
modes. Here it is zero
initially and it triggers
the operations by
changing the state)
