Hi all,
I've been asked to generate 1khz frequency using timer 0 of 8051. I've written the code but its not working!!!! :-(8-O Please help me where am I going wrong
This is my code
MOV TMOD,#02h
AGAIN:MOV TL0,#033h
MOV TH0,#0FEH
SETB TR0
BACK: JNB TF0,BACK
CLR TR0
CPL P3.2
SJMP AGAIN
end
Regards
 

Why you need two timers? Timers are independent.

See timers/counters section here **broken link removed**

If you just want two 1 KHz pulses on two output pins then you can use one timer to toggle the two output pins.

Do you want to use the timers as counters to do some counting?

Hi again,
Basically whats happening is timer1 s used for serial communication purpose . I'm left with timer0 so should use them to generate a 1khz frequency. My doubt was how to use both timers simultaneously. Google helped me in clearing this doubt. Anyways that code worked fine so no worries.. But have a doubt regarding those th0 and tl0 assignment... when i calculated i got tl0=033h and th0=0fe0h. But this value doesn't generate desired frequency but loading tl0=0ch generated d freq. :?::?::?::?::?:

Hi good morning :I
According to a text book, this is the way thy have shown how to calculate th0 n tl0 value---->>

Finding values to be loaded into the timer
Assuming that we know the amount of timer delay we need, the question is how to find the values needed for the TH, TL registers. To calculate the values to be loaded into the TL and TH registers look at Example 9-10 where we use crystal frequency of 11.0592 MHz for the 8051 system.
Assuming XTAL = 11.0592 MHz from Example 9-10 we can use the following steps for finding the TH, TL registers’ values.

1.
Divide the desired time delay by 1.085 us.
2.
Perform 65536 – n, where n is the decimal value we got in Step 1.
1.
Convert the result of Step 2 to hex, where yyxx is the initial hex value to be
loaded into the timer’s registers.
3.
Set TL = xx and TH = yy.

As a result I got those values N when I loaded same values i generated desired frequency but its not exact. Its .9KHZ not exactly 1khz :I Is this the right waay
 

Show a calculation. 0.9 KHz = 900 Hz. T = 1/900 = 1111.1111 us

1111.1111 us / 1.085 us = 1024.065529953917

65536 - 1024.065529953917 = 64511.93447004608 = approx 64512

hex(64512) = 0xFC00

TH = 0xFC
TL = 0x00

Do the calculation again and see.
