SFR, TMOD
Timer 0 and Timer 1 have four modes of operation controlled by the SFR named TMOD
(Table 42).

Timer 0 and Timer 1 operating modes
The “Timer” or “Counter” function is selected by the C/T control bits in TMOD. The four
operating modes are selected by bit-pairs M[1:0] in TMOD. Modes 0, 1, and 2 are the same
for both Timer/Counters. Mode 3 is different.
Mode 0
Putting either Timer/Counter into Mode 0 makes it an 8-bit Counter with a divide-by-32 pre-
scaler. Figure 25 shows Mode 0 operation as it applies to Timer 1 (same applies to Timer 0).
In this mode, the Timer Register is configured as a 13-bit register. As the count rolls over
from all '1s' to all '0s,' it sets the Timer Interrupt flag TF1. The counted input is enabled to the
Timer when TR1 = 1 and either GATE = 0 or EXTINT1 = 1. (Setting GATE = 1 allows the
Timer to be controlled by external input pin, EXTINT1, to facilitate pulse width
measurements). TR1 is a control bit in the SFR, TCON. GATE is a bit in the SFR, TMOD.
The 13-bit register consists of all 8 bits of TH1 and the lower 5 bits of TL1. The upper 3 bits
of TL1 are indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting the run flag, TR1, does not clear
the registers.
Mode 0 operation is the same for the Timer 0 as for Timer 1. Substitute TR0, TF0, C0, TL0,
TH0, and EXTINT0 for the corresponding Timer 1 signals in Figure 25. There are two
different GATE Bits, one for Timer 1 and one for Timer 0.
Mode 1
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that the Timer Register is being run with all 16 bits.
Mode 2
Mode 2 configures the Timer Register as an 8-bit Counter (TL1) with automatic reload, as
shown in Figure 26 on page 91. Overflow from TL1 not only sets TF1, but also reloads TL1
with the contents of TH1, which is preset with firmware. The reload leaves TH1 unchanged.
Mode 2 operation is the same for Timer/Counter 0.
Mode 3
Timer 1 in Mode 3 simply holds its count. The effect is the same as setting TR1 = 0.
Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate counters. The logic for Mode 3
on Timer 0 is shown in Figure 27 on page 91. TL0 uses the Timer 0 control Bits: C/T, GATE,
TR0, and TF0, as well as the pin EXTINT0. TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting at a
rate of 1/12 f_OSC) and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer 1. Thus, TH0 now
controls the “Timer 1“ interrupt flag.
Mode 3 is provided for applications requiring an extra 8-bit timer on the counter (see
Figure 27 on page 91). With Timer 0 in Mode 3, a uPSD34xx device can look like it has
three Timer/Counters (not including the PCA). When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be
