SM59A16U1
8-Bit Micro-controller
64KB with ISP Flash
& 6K+256B RAM embedded
7. Timer 0 and Timer 1
The SM59A16U1 has three 16-bit timer/counter registers: Timer 0, Timer 1 and Timer 2. All can be configured for
counter or timer operations.
In timer mode, the Timer 0 register or Timer 1 register is incremented every 1/12/96 machine cycles, which means that
it counts up after every 1/12/96 periods of the clk signal. It‟s dependent on SFR(PFCON).
In counter mode, the register is incremented when the falling edge is observed at the corresponding input pin T0or T1.
Since it takes 2 machine cycles to recognize a 1-to-0 event, the maximum input count rate is 1/2 of the oscillator
frequency. There are no restrictions on the duty cycle, however to ensure proper recognition of 0 or 1 state, an input
should be stable for at least 1 machine cycle.
Four operating modes can be selected for Timer 0 and Timer 1. Two Special Function registers (TMOD and TCON) are
used to select the appropriate mode.

GATE: If set, enables external gate control (pin INT0 or INT1 for Counter 0 or 1,
respectively). When INT0 or INT1 is high, and TRx bit is set (see TCON
register), a counter is incremented every falling edge on T0 or T1 input pin
C/T: Selects Timer or Counter operation. When set to 1, a counter operation is
performed, when cleared to 0, the corresponding register will function as a
timer.

Mode0 13-bit counter/timer, with 5 lower bits in TL0 or

Mode1 16-bit counter/timer.
