Timer Mode Control Register
- Address: 0x89
- Size: 8 bit.
- Byte addressable.
- Used to configure Timer mode of operation.
| Bit | Description |
|---|---|
| M0 | Timer mode selection bit (see below) |
| M1 | Timer mode selection bit (see below) |
| C/T | Timer or Counter selector. Cleared for Timer operation (input from internal system clock). Set for counter operation (input from Tx input pin). If 0, timer is used as delay generator. If 1, timer is used as event counter. If 1, timer x is clocked from Tx pin. If 0, timer x is clocked from oscillator/12 |
| Gate | This bit is used to start/stop timers by hardware. If 1, the timers can be started/stopped by the external sources. If 1, timer x is enabled when intx is high and TRx is high. When TRx (in TCON) is set and GATE = 1, TIMER/COUNTERx will run only while INTx pin is high (hardware control). If 0, the timers can be started/stopped by software instructions. If 0, timer x is enabled when TRx is high. When GATE = 0, TIMER/COUNTERx will run only while TRx = 1 (software control). |
| M1 | M0 | Mode | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 13-bit timer mode. THX with TLx as 5-bit prescalar |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 16-bit timer mode. 16-bit timer/counter without prescalar |
| 1 | 0 | 2 | 8-bit auto reload. THx contains a value that is to be loaded in to TLx each time it overflows |
| 1 | 1 | 3 | Split timer mode. (Timer 0) TL0 is an 8-bit timer/counter controlled by the standard Timer 0 control bits, TH0 is an 8-bit timer and controlled by Timer 1 control bits. (Timer 1) Timer/counter 1 stopped |
