The 8051 microcontroller has two timers, namely Timer 0 and Timer 1. Both these timers are 16-bit registers. Since the 8051 microcontroller has an 8-bit architecture, these re… Afficher plus

Here’s how the entire process of generating delays or counting events takes place in the 8051 microcontrollers. A pre-scaler scales the clock pulses from the master clock that are sent … Afficher plus

TMOD stands for Timer Mode, and as the name suggests, it is responsible for setting the mode of a timer among other things. It is an 8-bit special function registerthat is placed a… Afficher plus

Now that we have got TMOD out of the way lets go to the next control SFR which is used by timers, TCON. TCON stands for timer control and is used to send the control signals f… Afficher plus

Now that you have a basic understanding of how timers function on the 8051 microcontrollers let us dig deep into the various modes it has to offer. The 8051 microco… Afficher plus
