    8253 - Timer: Features of 8253

    Uploaded by

    srikrishnathota
    The 8253 is a programmable interval timer that contains three independent 16-bit counters that can be programmed to count in binary or BCD. It has an 8-bit data bus, address lines, control lines, and clock/output lines that allow it to interface with microprocessors. The 8253 can operate in six different modes including interrupt on terminal count, one shot, rate generator, and square wave generator modes.

    8253 –Timer

    Features of 8253:
     It has three independent 16-bit down counters.
     It can handle inputs from DC to 10 MHz
     These three counters can be programmed for either binary or BCD count.
     It is compatible with almost all microprocessors.

    8253 Architecture

     D7 – D0 --8-bit bidirectional data bus


     A0, A1 -- Register address inputs used to select the register to be
    accessed
     RD, WR Control signals indicating whether 8253 is to be read from or
    written into
     CS Chip-select input to enable the 8253’s microprocessor interface
     CLK-> Pulses applied to the clock input are used to decrement counter 0
     GATE-> Gate must be switched to logic 1 to enable the counter 0
     OUT-> Clock or pulse output of counter

    Data Bus Buffer


    It has three basic functions −

     Programming the modes of 8253


     Loading the count registers.
     Reading the count values.
    8253 Pin Description

    Read/Write Logic
    It includes 5 signals, i.e. RD, WR, CS, and the address lines A0 & A1.

    A1 A0 Result

    0 0 Counter 0

    0 1 Counter 1

    1 0 Counter 2

    1 1 Control Word Register

    Control Word Register


    This register is accessed when lines A0 & A1 are at logic 1. It is used to
    write a command word, which specifies the counter to be used, its mode,
    and either a read or write operation.
    A1 A0 RD WR CS Result

    0 0 1 0 0 Write Counter 0

    0 1 1 0 0 Write Counter 1

    1 0 1 0 0 Write Counter 2

    1 1 1 0 0 Write Control Word

    0 0 0 1 0 Read Counter 0

    0 1 0 1 0 Read Counter 1

    1 0 0 1 0 Read Counter 2
    Counters
    Each counter consists of a single, 16 bit-down counter, which can be
    operated in either binary or BCD. The programmer can read the contents
    of any of the three counters

    8253 can be operated in 6 different modes.

    Mode 0 ─ Interrupt on Terminal Count


     Initially the output is low after the mode is set. The output remains LOW
    after the count value is loaded into the counter.
     The process of decrementing the counter continues till the terminal count is
    reached, i.e., the count become zero and the output goes HIGH and will
    remain high until it reloads a new count.

    Mode 1 – Programmable One Shot


     It can be used as a mono stable multi-vibrator.
     The gate input is used as a trigger input in this mode.
     The output remains high until the count is loaded and a trigger is applied.
    Mode 2 – Rate Generator
     The output is normally high after initialization.
     Whenever the count becomes zero, another low pulse is generated at the
    output and the counter will be reloaded.

    Mode 3 – Square Wave Generator


     This mode is similar to Mode 2 except the output remains low for half of the
    timer period and high for the other half of the period.

    Mode 4 − Software Triggered Mode

    Mode 5 – Hardware Triggered Mode
