BASIC THEORY CLO_1

In this Lab session we would get familiarize with Hardware of Timer and its program. For this
Lab, we would use TIMER 0 and its Interrupt Subroutine.

Timer0 Module
The Timer0 module has the following features:
• Software selectable as an 8-bit or 16-bit timer/counter.
• Readable and writable.
• Dedicated 8-bit software programmable prescaler.
• Clock source selectable to be external or internal.
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode and FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit
mode.
• Edge selection for external clock.

OBJECTIVE #1
Make a program to toggle PORTB using the MAIN LOOP and toggle PORTC using the
Timer 0 Overflow Interrupt.

Example Code:
LIST P=PIC18F452, F=INHX32, N=0, ST=OFF, R=HEX ; INCLUDE CONTROLLER
TYPE
#include P18F452.INC ; INCLUDE CONTROLLER FILE
; FUSE BIT SETTINGS

CONFIG OSC = HS, OSCS = OFF ; HS=HIGH OSCILATOR

CONFIG WDT = OFF ; WATCH DOG TIMER OFF
CONFIG PWRT = ON, BOR = OFF ; POWER UP TIMER ON
; BROWN OUT RESET VOLTAGE
OFF
CONFIG DEBUG = OFF, LVP = OFF, STVR = OFF ; DEBUG OFF
; LOW VOLTAGEPROGRAMMING
OFF

Home Assignment: CLO_2

1- Find the timer's clock frequency and its period for various PIC18-based systems, with
the following crystal frequencies. Assume that no prescaler is used.
(a) 10 MHz (b) 16MHz (c) 4 MHz
2- Write a program that creates a square wave of 50% duty cycle (with equal portions high and
low) on the RB0. Timer0 is used to generate the time delay.
Submission Details:
• Lab manual
• Print of code in assembly language.
• Proteus simulation circuit bitmap image (print screen and sniping tool’s images are not
acceptable)
• Code simulate on trainer kit.
