W77E532/W77E532A
Mode 3
Mode 3 has different operating methods for the two timer/counters. For timer/counter 1, mode 3 simply
freezes the counter. Timer/Counter 0, however, configures TL0 and TH0 as two separate 8 bit count
registers in this mode. The logic for this mode is shown in the figure. TL0 uses the Timer/Counter 0
control bits C / T , GATE, TR0, INT0 and TF0. The TL0 can be used to count clock cycles (clock/12 or
clock/4) or 1-to-0 transitions on pin T0 as determined by C/T (TMOD.2). TH0 is forced as a clock cycle
counter (clock/12 or clock/4) and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer/Counter 1. Mode 3 is
used in cases where an extra 8 bit timer is needed. With Timer 0 in Mode 3, Timer 1 can still be used in
Modes 0, 1 and 2., but its flexibility is somewhat limited. While its basic functionality is maintained, it no
longer has control over its overflow flag TF1 and the enable bit TR1. Timer 1 can still be used as a
timer/counter and retains the use of GATE and INT1 pin. In this condition it can be turned on and off by
switching it out of and into its own Mode 3. It can also be used as a baud rate generator for the serial
port.
Timer/Counter 2
Timer/Counter 2 is a 16 bit up/down counter which is configured by the T2MOD register and controlled
by the T2CON register. Timer/Counter 2 is equipped with a capture/reload capability. As with the Timer
0 and Timer 1 counters, there exists considerable flexibility in selecting and controlling the clock, and in
defining the operating mode. The clock source for Timer/Counter 2 may be selected for either the
external T2 pin (C/T2 = 1) or the crystal oscillator, which is divided by 12 or 4 (C/T2 = 0). The clock is
then enabled when TR2 is a 1, and disabled when TR2 is a 0.

Capture Mode
Figure 13. Timer/Counter 0 Mode 3
The capture mode is enabled by setting the CP / RL2 bit in the T2CON register to a 1. In the capture
mode, Timer/Counter 2 serves as a 16 bit up counter. When the counter rolls over from FFFFh to
0000h, the TF2 bit is set, which will generate an interrupt request. If the EXEN2 bit is set, then a
negative transition of T2EX pin will cause the value in the TL2 and TH2 register to be captured by the
RCAP2L and RCAP2H registers. This action also causes the EXF2 bit in T2CON to be set, which will
also generate an interrupt. Setting the T2CR bit (T2MOD.3), the W77E532A allows hardware to reset
timer 2 automatically after the value of TL2 and TH2 have been captured.
