4134C–8051–09/04

Programmable

Counter Array (PCA)

The PCA provides more timing capabilities with less CPU intervention than the standard

timer/counters. Its advantages include reduced software overhead and improved accu-

racy. The PCA consists of a dedicated timer/counter which serves as the time base for

an array of five compare/capture modules. Its clock input can be programmed to count

any one of the following signals:

•

Oscillator frequency

÷ 12 (÷ 6 in X2 Mode)

•

Oscillator frequency

÷ 4 (÷ 2 in X2 Mode)

•

Timer 0 overflow

•

External input on ECI (P1.2)

Each compare/capture modules can be programmed in any one of the following modes:

•

Rising and/or falling edge capture,

•

Software timer

•

High-speed output

•

Pulse width modulator

Module 4 can also be programmed as a watchdog timer.

When the compare/capture modules are programmed in the capture mode, software

timer, or high speed output mode, an interrupt can be generated when the module exe-

cutes its function. All five modules and the PCA timer overflow share one interrupt

vector.

The PCA timer/counter and compare/capture modules share Port 1 for external I/O.

These pins are listed below. If the port is not used for the PCA, it can still be used for

standard I/O.

The PCA timer is a common time base for all five modules (See Figure 21). The timer

count source is determined from the CPS1 and CPS0 bits in the CMOD SFR (see

Table 21) and can be programmed to run at:

•

1/12 the oscillator frequency (or 1/6 in X2 Mode)

•

1/4 the oscillator frequency (or 1/2 in X2 Mode)

•

The Timer 0 overflow

•

The input on the ECI pin (P1.2)
