Objective :
To be familiar with Timer and know the important registers .

Labwork :
Q1 : Using the references I gave you explain How to Compute the delay
duration Generated By the timer ?

𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 = Pulse counter * Pulse Period

= Pulse counter / Pulse frequency
= 65536 / (48000000/4/Prescaler) Seconds
If the counter register is preloaded with initial value TMRinit then
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 = (65536 – TMRinit)/ (48000000/4/Prescaler)
TMRinit= 65536 –interruptPeriod*48000000/4/Prescaler

Q2 Refer to the documentation on pic 18F4550 data sheet (p127)What is the

Registers associated with Timer0, Timer1, Timer2 and Timer3 and explain in a
neat way what they do?

Registers associated with Timer0

Figure 1

1- TMR0L Timer0 Register Low Byte

2- TMR0H Timer0 Register High Byte
3- INTCON Register :
o GIE/GIEH : enable global interrupts
o PEIE/GIEL : enable peripheral interrupts
o TMR0IE : Timer 0 enable
o TMR0IF : Timer 0 flag
4- T0CON (Timer0 control register) :
o TMR0ON: Timer0 On/Off Control bit
o T08BIT: Timer0 8-Bit/16-Bit Control bit

 o T0CS: Timer0 Clock Source Select bit (External or Internal)
o T0SE: Timer0 Source Edge Select bit (high-to-low transition or low-
to-high transition on T0CKI pin)
o PSA: Timer0 Prescaler Assignment bit (bypasses prescaler or no)
o T0PS2:T0PS0: Timer0 Prescaler Select bits
▪ 111 = 1:256 Prescale value
▪ 110 = 1:128 Prescale value
▪ 101 = 1:64 Prescale value
▪ 100 = 1:32 Prescale value
▪ 011 = 1:16 Prescale value
▪ 010 = 1:8 Prescale value
▪ 001 = 1:4 Prescale value

o GIE/GIEH : enable global interrupts
o PEIE/GIEL : enable peripheral interrupts
2- TMR1L Timer1 Register Low Byte
3- TMR1H Timer1 Register High Byte
4- PIR1 Register :TMR1IF Timer 1 flag
5- PIE1 Register :TMR1IE Timer 1 enable
6- IPR1 Register :TMR1IP Timer 1 priority
7- T1CON: Timer1 control register:
o RD16: 16-Bit Read/Write Mode Enable bit
o T1RUN: Timer1 System Clock Status bit (from Timer1 oscillator or
another source)

o When TMR1CS = 1:
o 1 = Do not synchronize external clock input
o 0 = Synchronize external clock input
o When TMR1CS = 0:
o This bit is ignored. Timer1 uses the internal clock when TMR1CS = 0.
