Chapter 5 PIC18 Timers

• Counter is a register that can be loaded with a binary number (count) which can be incremented per clock/instruction cycle.
• We can use this counter to measure time.

• Time is calculated as follows:
– Find difference between beginning count and last count
– Multiply the count difference by the clock/instruction period

Counters for External Events
• The register can also be used as a counter for external events by replacing the clock with a signal from an event.
• When a signal from an event arrives, the count in the register is incremented (or decremented); thus, the total number of events can be counted.

Timer Applications
• Time delay
• Pulse wave generation
• Timer as an event counter • Frequency measurement

PIC18 Timers
• The PIC18 microcontroller has multiple timers
• Timers are divided into two groups: 8-bit and 16- bit
• Labeled as Timer 0 to Timer 2
– Timer 0 can be set up as an 8-bit or 16-bit timer.
– Timer 1 is a 16-bit timer.
– Timer 2 is an 8-bit timer.
• EachtimerassociatedwithitsSpecialFunction Register (SFR): T0CON-T2CON

• Can be set up as an 8-bit or 16-bit timer
– Parameters are set up by bits in T0CON register
– Has eight options of pre-scale values (Bit2-Bit0)
– Can run on internal clock source (instruction cycle) or external clock connected to pin RA4/T0CK1
– Generates an interrupt or sets a flag when it overflows from FFH to 00H in the 8-bit mode and from FFFFH to 0000H in the 16-bit mode
– Can be set up on either rising edge or falling edge (Bit4) when an external clock is used

T0CON (Timer 0 Control) Register

T0CON (Timer 0 Control) Register
• TMR0ON = T0CON<7>: On (1) or Off (0)
• T08BIT = T0CON<6>: 8-bit (1) or 16-bit (0)
• T0CS = T0CON<5>: Use External (1) or Internal (0) clock
• T0SE = T0CON<4>: Increment on H-L (1) or L-H (0) transition
• PSA = T0CON<3>: Use (0) or Do not use (1) prescaling
• T0PS2:T0PS0 = T0CON<2:0>: Specify prescaler factor

Internal Clock Mode (T0CS = 0)
• Clock source is the instruction cycle clock
• The Timer 0 Interrupt Flag (TMR0IF = INTCON<2>) is raised when counter rollover from max value (FFFF in 16-bit mode, FF in 8-bit mode) to min value (0000 in 16-bit mode, 00 in 8-bit mode)
• Used as a timer to create delay

Create delay using Timer 0 16-bit Mode
• Characteristics of 16-bit mode
– 16-bit timer – allows values of 0000 to FFFF to be loaded into registers TMR0H and TMR0L
– The timer must be started by setting the TMR0ON (i.e., bsf T0CON, TMR0ON)
– The timer counts up after being started. When it rolls over from FFFF to 0000, it sets, the interrupt flag, TMR0IF.

Steps to create delay
1. Set T08BIT = T0CON<6> = 0 (use 16-bit mode)
2. Load register TMR0H followed by TMR0L with initial count values
3. Start the timer: bsf T0CON, TMR0ON
4. Keep monitoring TMR0IF to see whether it is raised.
Get out of loop if raised.
5. Stop the timer: bcf T0CON, TMR0ON
6. Clear TMR0IF for next round
7. Repeat from Step 2

Create delay using Timer 0 16-bit Mode
• TMR0 increments once each instruction cycle.
• Time delay obtained depends on the initial value.
• We stop when counter overflow, which is indicated
by the TMR0IF flag.
Simple Example

Create a square wave of 50% duty cycle on RB5 bit.
bcf TRISB, 5
bsf PORTB, 5
movlw B ‘00001000’
movwf T0CON
Here movlw 0xFF
movwf TMR0H
movlw 0xF2
movwf TMR0L

bsf T0CON, TMR0ON

bcf TOCON, TMR0ON
btg PORTB, 5

; Set PB5 as output
; init. sq. wave to high (1)
; 16-bit, int clk, no prescaler
; [TMR0H] = 0xYY
; [TMR0L] = 0xXX
; Clear timer interrupt flag
; start Timer 0
; load TMR0H and TMR0L again

Duty Cycle

Time Delay Calculation
• Fosc = clock frequency = 4MHz
• Instruction Cycle = 1μs
• Instruction Cycle required to reach FFFF = FFFF-FFF2 = 13 (in decimal)
• Need one more instruction cycle to rollover to 0000 where TMR0IF is triggered.
• Total time delay generated by Timer 0= 14 x 1μs = 14μs

Formula to Compute Time Delay
• In Hex, total time delay generated by Timer 0 = (FFFF – YYXX + 1) x 1μs
where YY and XX are the initial values of TMR0H and TMR0L respectively.
• In decimal, convert YYXX into its decimal equivalence NNNNN first and then use: (65536 – NNNNN) x 1μs

Use of Prescaler
• Longest delay that can be produced is 65.536 ms using a 16-bit timer. What if we want longer delay?
• Prescaler can be used to increase period of internal clock by a factor of 2N, where N = 1, …, 8 and specified by T0PS2:T0PS0 = T0CON<2:0>.
• e.g., When N = 6, the period of the clock is increased by a factor of 64→64μs. Max delay = 65536 x 64 μs = 4.194 s

Assume Fosc = 4MHz and Instruction Cycle = 1MHz (FFFF – FC84 + 1) x 1μs = 892 μs
Initial TMR0
1 (no prescaler) 2
Time Delay (μs) 892

Timer 0 as counter
• If driven by an external clock (T0CS = 1), Timer 0 will increment, either on every rising (T0SE = 0) or falling (T0SE = 1) edge of pin RA4/T0CKI.

Assuming clock pulses are fed into Pin T0CKI (RA4), use Timer 0 as a 8-bit counter of pulses and display the state of TMR0L count on PORTB
bsf TRISA, RA4; PORTA.4 set as input
clrf TRISB; PORTB set as output

Lab 4 Task 2: Frequency Counter
Output signal
Variable Frequency Generator: Output frequency depends on the charging/discharging time of C1, which is controlled by varying the resistor value R2 through turning a knob on the circuit board

Lab 4 Task 2: Frequency Counter
Write a subroutine MeasureFrequency to perform the following operations:
• Set up Timer 0 to generate a 1-second delay
• Use Timer 1 as a counter to count the rising edges of an unknown signal (fed to RC0) within the second
• Start Timer 0 and Timer 1
• Wait for IF flag for Timer 0 to raise
• Stop Timer 0 and Timer 1
• TMR1H:TMR1L would then be the frequency of the signal.

Overall structure of Lab 4
The algorithm consists of two components:
1. Generate a time delay of 1s using Timer 0
– Lab 4 Task 1
– Prescaler = 16
– Expected total time delay = (FFFF-YYXX+1) x 16 x
– You will determine YYXX in prelab, but you know
that (FFFF-YYXX+1) = 62500 (i.e., Timer 0
increments 62500 times before overflow)
– Does the program generate a delay of exactly 1s?
2. Count total number of rising edges using
– The example code gives all information of how it
can be done.

Lab 4 Task 1
• Need exact time delay for accurate frequency measurement
• Solution
– Determine the initial value YYXX again so that Timer 0 increments 62499 times (instead of 62500) before overflow.
– Time delay generated before TMR0IF is raised = 62499 x 16 inst. cycles
– Addafewnoptofillupthetime.
– Objective: Decide how many nops are needed to generate a time delay of exactly 1s.

Overall structure of Lab 4
• Validation of your measurement
– Use debugger mode of PICKit 3. Set a
breakpoint at the location where you exit the subroutine MeasureFrequency.
– TMR1H and TMR1L store your frequency measurement.

• Can only be used as a timer to create time delay – No external clock source can fed in.
• Prescaler and Postscaler to lengthen delays.

• Prescaler = 4

• Postscaler = 4

T2CON: Timer 2 Control Register

TMR2 and PR2 SFR
• TMR2: 8-bit register of Timer 2
• PR2 (Period Register) is set to be a fixed value.
• The input period can be lengthened by selecting the prescaling factor.
• When TMR2 == PR2, EQ signal will reset TMR2 to 0.
• The output of the comparator is divided by postscaling factor.
– i.e., If postscaler = 1:16, the EQ signal will need to be set 16 times before TMR2IF is set.

Example 1: Timer 2
• Write a program to turn on pin PORTB.4 when TMR2 reaches the value of 100 (decimal).
bcf TRISB, 4; make PORTB.4 as output bcf PORTB, 4; turn off PORTB.4 movlw 0x00

movwf TMR2
movlw D‘100’

Example 2: Timer 2
• Use the prescaler and postscaler to create the longest possible delay by Timer 2.
• Total delay = (255+1) x 16 x 16 x 1μs = 65.536ms

Time Delay Equation
• Time delay are expressed in instruction cycles.
• Timer 0/1 16-bit mode
– Time Delay = (FFFF – YYXX + 1) x Prescaler
– where YY and XX are the initial values of TMRxH and TMRxL, respectively. x = 0, 1.
• Timer 0 8-bit mode
– Time Delay = (FF – XX + 1) x Prescaler
– Time Delay = (PR2+1) x Prescaler x Postscaler

• List the PIC18 timers and their associated registers.
• Describe various modes of the PIC18 timer.
• Program the PIC18 timers to generate time delays
