AT89C51RB2/RC2
The Timer 2 in the AT89C51RB2/RC2 is the standard C52 Timer 2.
It is a 16-bit timer/counter: the count is maintained by two eight-bit timer registers, TH2
and TL2 are cascaded. It is controlled by T2CON (Table 20) and T2MOD (Table 21)
registers. Timer 2 operation is similar to Timer 0 and Timer 1C/T2 selects F
operation) or external pin T2 (counter operation) as the timer clock input. Setting TR2
allows TL2 to increment by the selected input.
Timer 2 has 3 operating modes: capture, autoreload and Baud Rate Generator. These
modes are selected by the combination of RCLK, TCLK and CP/RL2 (T2CON).
see the Atmel 8-bit Microcontroller Hardware description for the description of Capture
and Baud Rate Generator Modes.
Timer 2 includes the following enhancements:
•
•
The auto-reload mode configures Timer 2 as a 16-bit timer or event counter with auto-
matic reload. If DCEN bit in T2MOD is cleared, Timer 2 behaves as in 80C52 (see the
Atmel C51 Microcontroller Hardware description). If DCEN bit is set, Timer 2 acts as an
Up/down timer/counter as shown in Figure 9. In this mode the T2EX pin controls the
direction of count.
When T2EX is high, Timer 2 counts up. Timer overflow occurs at FFFFh which sets the
TF2 flag and generates an interrupt request. The overflow also causes the 16-bit value
in RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers to be loaded into the timer registers TH2 and TL2.
When T2EX is low, Timer 2 counts down. Timer underflow occurs when the count in the
timer registers TH2 and TL2 equals the value stored in RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers.
The underflow sets TF2 flag and reloads FFFFh into the timer registers.
The EXF2 bit toggles when Timer 2 overflows or underflows according to the direction of
the count. EXF2 does not generate any interrupt. This bit can be used to provide 17-bit
resolution.
