Programmable Clock Out

A 50% duty cycle clock can be programmed to come out on

P1.0, as shown in Figure 5. This pin, besides being a regu-

lar I/O pin, has two alternate functions. It can be pro-

grammed to input the external clock for Timer/Counter 2 or

to output a 50% duty cycle clock ranging from 61 Hz to

4 MHz at a 16 MHz operating frequency.

To configure the Timer/Counter 2 as a clock generator, bit

C/T2 (T2CON.1) must be cleared and bit T2OE (T2MOD.1)

must be set. Bit TR2 (T2CON.2) starts and stops the timer.

The clock-out frequency depends on the oscillator fre-

quency and the reload value of Timer 2 capture registers

(RCAP2H, RCAP2L), as shown in the following equation.

In the clock-out mode, Timer 2 roll-overs will not generate

an interrupt. This behavior is similar to when Timer 2 is

used as a baud-rate generator. It is possible to use Timer 2

as a baud-rate generator and a clock generator simulta-

neously. Note, however, that the baud-rate and clock-out

frequencies cannot be determined independently from one

another since they both use RCAP2H and RCAP2L.

UART

The UART in the AT87LV52 operates the same way as the

UART in the AT87LV51.

Interrupts

The AT87LV52 has a total of six interrupt vectors: two

external interrupts (INT0 and INT1), three timer interrupts

(Timers 0, 1, and 2), and the serial port interrupt. These

interrupts are all shown in Figure 6.

Each of these interrupt sources can be individually enabled

or disabled by setting or clearing a bit in Special Function

Register IE. IE also contains a global disable bit, EA, which

disables all interrupts at once.

Note that Table 5 shows that bit position IE.6 is unimple-

mented. In the AT89C51, bit position IE.5 is also unimple-

mented. User software should not write 1s to these bit

positions, since they may be used in future AT89 products.

Timer 2 interrupt is generated by the logical OR of bits TF2

and EXF2 in register T2CON. Neither of these flags is

cleared by hardware when the service routine is vectored

to. In fact, the service routine may have to determine

whether it was TF2 or EXF2 that generated the interrupt,

and that bit will have to be cleared in software.

The Timer 0 and Timer 1 flags, TF0 and TF1, are set at

S5P2 of the cycle in which the timers overflow. The values

are then polled by the circuitry in the next cycle. However,

the Timer 2 flag, TF2, is set at S2P2 and is polled in the

same cycle in which the timer overflows.
