5.1 Interrupts
An interrupt is an external or internal event that
interrupts the microcontroller to inform it that a
device needs its service.
Interrupts vs. Polling
A single microcontroller can serve several devices.
There are two ways to do that:
interrupts
polling.
The program which is associated with the interrupt
is called the interrupt service routine (ISR) or
interrupt handler.
Steps in executing an interrupt
Finish current instruction and saves the PC on
stack.
Jumps to a fixed location in memory depend on
type of interrupt
Starts to execute the interrupt service routine
until RETI (return from interrupt)
Upon executing the RETI the microcontroller
returns to the place where it was interrupted. Get
pop PC from stack
Interrupt Sources
Original 8051 has 6 sources of interrupts
Reset
Timer 0 overflow
Timer 1 overflow
External Interrupt 0
External Interrupt 1
Serial Port events (buffer full, buffer empty, etc)
Enhanced version has 22 sources
More timers, programmable counter array, ADC, more
external interrupts, another serial port (UART)
Interrupt Vectors
Each interrupt has a specific place in code memory
where program execution (interrupt service routine)
begins.
External Interrupt 0:
Timer 0 overflow:
External Interrupt 1:
Timer 1 overflow:
Serial :
Timer 2 overflow(8052+)

Interrupt Priorities
What if two interrupt sources interrupt at the same
time?
The interrupt with the highest PRIORITY gets
serviced first.
All interrupts have a power on default priority order.
1. External interrupt 0 (INT0)
2. Timer interrupt0 (TF0)
3. External interrupt 1 (INT1)
4. Timer interrupt1 (TF1)
5. Serial communication (RI+TI)
Priority can also be set to high or low by IP reg.

5.2 Timers /Counters
The 8051 has 2 timers/counters: timer/counter 0
and timer/counter 1. They can be used as
1. The timer is used as a time delay generator.
The clock source is the internal crystal frequency of
the 8051.
2. An event counter.
External input from input pin to count the number of
events on registers.
These clock pulses cold represent the number of people
passing through an entrance, or the number of wheel
rotations, or any other event that can be converted to
pulses.
Timer
Set the initial value of registers
Start the timer and then the 8051 counts up.
Input from internal system clock (machine
cycle)

Since 8052 has 3 timers/counters, the formats
of these control registers are different.
T2CON (Timer 2 control register), TH2 and TL2
used for 8052 only.
Basic Registers of the
Timer
Both timer 0 and timer 1 are 16 bits wide.
These registers stores
the time delay as a timer
the number of events as a counter
Timer 0: TH0 & TL0
Timer 0 high byte, timer 0 low byte
Timer 1: TH1 & TL1
Timer 1 high byte, timer 1 low byte
Each 16-bit timer can be accessed as two
separate registers of low byte and high byte.

5.3 serial communication
Parallel: expensive - short distance fast
Serial :cheaper long (two different cities by modem)-slow
Basics of serial communication
Start and stop bits
When there is no transfer the signal is high
Transmission begins with a start (low) bit
LSB first
Finally 1 stop bit (high)
Data transfer rate (baud rate) is stated in bps
bps: bit per second
How to communicate 8051 to PC
Connect TXD to RXD and RXD to TXD from pc to 8051
Use max232 to transform signal from TTL level to RS232 level
The baud rate of the 8051 must matched the baud rate of the pc
PC standard baud rate
2400-4800-9600-14400-19200-28800-33600-57600
Serial mode 1 is used
Timer 1 is used
The 8051 UART divides the machine cycle frequency by 32
Machine cycle is 1/12 XTAL frequency
We use timer1 in mode 2 (auto reload)
See example 10-1

Ten bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD)
A start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (1)
On receive, the stop bit goes into RB8 in SCON
the baud rate is determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate.
Timer1 clock is 1/32 machine cycle (MC=1/12 XTAL)
Timer clock can be programmed as 1/16 of machine cycle

and a stop bit (1)
On transmit, the 9th bit (TB8) can be assigned 0 or 1.
On receive, the 9the data bit goes into RB8 in SCON.
the 9th can be parity bit
The baud rate is programmable to 1/32 or 1/64 the oscillator

5.6 Programming Timers
and
Counters
Find the value for TMOD if we want to program timer 0 in mode 2,
use 8051 XTAL for the clock source, and use instructions to start
and stop the timer.
Solution:
timer 1
timer 0
TMOD= 0000 0010 Timer 1 is not used.
Timer 0, mode 2,
C/T = 0 to use XTAL clock source (timer)
gate = 0 to use internal (software)
start and stop method.
hsabaghianb @ kashanu.ac.ir
Microprocessors 1-59
Timer Mode 1
In following, we all use timer 0 characteristics.
16-bit timer (TH0 and TL0)
TH0-TL0 is incremented continuously when TR0 is
set to 1. And the 8051 stops to increment TH0-TL0
when TR0 is cleared.
The timer works with the internal system clock. In
other words, the timer counts up each machine
cycle.
When the timer (TH0-TL0) reaches its maximum of
FFFFH, it rolls over to 0000, and TF0 is raised.
Programmer should check TF0 and stop the timer 0.
hsabaghianb @ kashanu.ac.ir
Microprocessors 1-60
Steps of Mode 1 (1/3)
1. Choose mode 1 timer 0
MOV TMOD,#01H
2. Set the original value to TH0 and TL0.
MOV TH0,#FFH
MOV TL0,#FCH
3. You had better to clear the flag to monitor:
TF0=0.
CLR TF0
4. Start the timer.
SETB TR0
hsabaghianb @ kashanu.ac.ir

Microprocessors 1-62
Steps of Mode 1 (3/3)
6. When TH0-TL0 rolls over from FFFFH to 0000,
the 8051 set TF0=1.
TH0-TL0= FFFEH, FFFFH, 0000H (Now TF0=1)
7. Keep monitoring the timer flag (TF) to see if it
is raised.

Example 9-4 (3/3)
Solution:
In the above program notice the following steps.
1. TMOD = 0000 0001 is loaded.
2. FFF2H is loaded into TH0 TL0.
3. P1.5 is toggled for the high and low portions of the pulse.
4. The DELAY subroutine using the timer is called.
5. In the DELAY subroutine, timer 0 is started by the SETB TR0
instruction.
6. Timer 0 counts up with the passing of each clock, which is provided by the
crystal oscillator.
As the timer counts up, it goes through the states of FFF3, FFF4, FFF5, FFF6,
FFF7, FFF8, FFF9, FFFA, FFFB, FFFC, FFFFD, FFFE, FFFFH. One more
clock rolls it to 0, raising the timer flag (TF0 = 1). At that point, the JNB
instruction falls through.
7. Timer 0 is stopped by the instruction CLR TR0. The DELAY subroutine
ends, and the process is repeated.
Notice that to repeat the process, we must reload the TL and TH
registers, and start the timer again (in the main program).

Note
Mode 1 is not auto reload then the program must
reload the TH1, TL1 register every timer overflow if
we want to have a continuous wave.

Assuming XTAL = 11.0592 MHz,
write a program to generate a square wave of 50 Hz
frequency on pin P2.3.
Solution:
1. The period of the square wave = 1 / 50 Hz = 20 ms.
2. The high or low portion of the square wave = 10 ms.
3. 10 ms / 1.085 s = 9216
4. 65536 9216 = 56320 in decimal = DC00H in hex.

Generate a Large Time Delay
The size of the time delay depends on two factors:
They crystal frequency
The timers 16-bit register, TH & TL
The largest time delay is achieved by making TH=TL=0.
What if that is not enough?
Next Example show how to achieve large time delay

Microprocessors 1-74
Example 9-13
Examine the following program and find the time delay in
seconds.
Exclude the overhead due to the instructions in the loop.

Solution:
TH TL = 0108H = 264 in decimal
65536 264 = 65272.
One of the timer delay = 65272 1.085 s = 70.820 ms
Total delay = 200 70.820 ms = 14.164024 seconds

Timer Mode 0
Mode 0 is exactly like mode 1 except that it is a
13-bit timer instead of 16-bit.
8-bit TH0
5-bit TL0
The counter can hold values between 0000 to
1FFF in TH0-TL0.
213-1= 2000H-1=1FFFH
We set the initial values TH0-TL0 to count up.
When the timer reaches its maximum of
1FFFH, it rolls over to 0000, and TF0 is raised.
hsabaghianb @ kashanu.ac.ir
Microprocessors 1-76
Timer Mode 2
8-bit timer.
It allows only values of 00 to FFH to be loaded into TH0.
Auto-reloading
TL0 is incremented continuously when TR0=1.
next example: 200 MCs delay on timer 0.
See Examples 9-14 to 9-16

Steps of Mode 2 (1/2)
1. Chose mode 2 timer 0
MOV TMOD,#02H
2. Set the original value to TH0.
MOV TH0,#38H
3. Clear the flag to TF0=0.
CLR TF0
4. After TH0 is loaded with the 8-bit value,
the 8051 gives a copy of it to TL0.
TL0=TH0=38H
5. Start the timer.
SETB TR0
hsabaghianb @ kashanu.ac.ir
Microprocessors 1-78
Steps of Mode 2 (2/2)
6. The 8051 starts to count up by incrementing the TL0.
TL0= 38H, 39H, 3AH,....
7. When TL0 rolls over from FFH to 00, the 8051 set
TF0=1. Also, TL0 is reloaded automatically with the
value kept by the TH0.
TL0= FEH, FFH, 00H (Now TF0=1)
The 8051 auto reload TL0=TH0=38H.
Clr TF0
Go to Step 6 (i.e., TL0 is incrementing continuously).
Note that we must clear TF0 when TL0 rolls over.
Thus, we can monitor TF0 in next process.
Clear TR0 to stop the process.

MOV TH0,#-150 uses 150 clocks.
The DELAY subroutine = 150 1.085 s = 162 s.
The high portion is twice tat of the low portion (66% duty cycle).
The total period = high portion + low portion

Counter
These timers can also be used as counters
counting events happening outside the
8051.
When the timer is used as a counter, it is a
pulse outside of the 8051 that increments the
TH, TL.
When C/T=1, the counter counts up as pulses
are fed from
T0: timer 0 input (Pin 14, P3.4)
T1: timer 1 input (Pin 15, P3.5)

and an external pulse (in T0) occurs.
When the counter (TH0-TL0) reaches its
maximum of FFFFH, it rolls over to 0000, and
TF0 is raised.
Programmers should monitor TF0 continuously
and stop the counter 0.
Programmers can set the initial value of TH0-
TL0 and let TF0=1 as an indicator to show a
special condition. (ex: 100 people have come).
