INTRODUCTION

• PIC 16F877A supports three timers in addition to watch dog timer.

• The three timers are:
1. Timer 0
2. Timer 1
3. Timer 2
 TIMER 0

• 8 bit timer/counter
• Readable and Writable
• 8 bit software programmable prescaler, can be prescaled for the rates 1:2,
1:4,………………..1:256
• Generates timer0 overflow interrupt
• Clock source :
1. Internal (Fosc/4)
2. External(configured to increment on either rising or falling edge)
TIMER 1

• 16 bit timer/counter
• Programmable prescaled for the rates 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8
• synchronization is done after prescaling
• Clock source :
1. Internal
2. External
T1CON REGISTER
TIMER 2

• 8 bit timer with prescaling and postscaling

• Useful in PWM generation as a time base

INTERRUPTS

• A signal that is sent to the microcontroller to mark the event that need immediate
action.
• Interrupt is asking the processor to stop to perform the current program and to make
time to execute a special code.
• PIC 16F877 supports 14 interrupt sources.
CONTD…

1. External Interrupt RB0/INT

2. Port B change interrupt
3. Timer 0 overflow interrupt
4. Peripheral Interrupts corresponding to the parallel slave port, USART, timer 1
overflow, timer 2 overflow, ADC, synchronous serial port, CCP 1(capture compare),
CCP 2, SSP bus collision.
