TIMER 2
OVERVIEW
The S3F80JB microcontroller has a 16-bit timer/counter called Timer 2 (T2). For universal remote controller
applications, timer 2 can be used to generate the envelope pattern for the remote controller signal. Timer 2 has
the following components:
— One control register, T2CON (E8H, Set 1, Bank1, R/W)
— Two 8-bit counter registers, T2CNTH and T2CNTL (E4H and E5H, Set1, Bank1, Read only)
— Two 8-bit reference data registers, T2DATAH and T2DATAL (E6H and E7H, Set 1, Bank1, R/W)
— One 16-bit comparator
You can select one of the following clock sources as the timer 2 clock:
— Oscillator frequency (f
OSC
) divided by 4, 8, or 16
— Internal clock input from the counter A module (counter A flip/flop output)
You can use Timer 2 in three ways:
— As a normal free run counter, generating a timer 2 overflow interrupt (IRQ3, vector F0H) at programmed time
intervals.
— To generate a timer 2 match interrupt (IRQ3, vector F2H) when the 16-bit timer 2 count value matches the
16-bit value written to the reference data registers.
— To generate a timer 2 capture interrupt (IRQ3, vector F2H) when a triggering condition exists at the P3.2 pin
for 44 package; at the P3.0 for 32 package (You can select a rising edge, a falling edge, or both edges as the
trigger).
In the S3F80JB interrupt structure, the timer 2 overflow interrupt has higher priority than the timer 2 match or
capture interrupt.
NOTE
The CPU clock should be faster than timer 2 clock.
