INTERFACING 8253 TIMER WITH 8085

Interfacing 8253 Programmable Interval Timer with 8085 p


AIM:
To interface 8253 Interface board to 8085 p and verify the operation of
8253in six different modes.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
8085 p kit, 8253 Interface board, DC regulated power supply, VXT
parallel bus, CRO.
Mode 3 Square wave generator:
It is similar to Mode 2 except that the output will remain high until one half
of count and go low for the other half for even number count. If the count is
odd, the output will be high for (count + 1)/2 counts. This mode is used of
generating Baud rate for 8251A (USART).

Example:
We utilize Mode 0 to generate a square wave of frequency 150 KHz
at channel 0.

Set the jumper, so that the clock 0 of 8253 is given a square wave of
frequency 1.5 MHz. This program divides this PCLK by 10 and thus the
output at channel 0 is 150 KHz.
Vary the frequency by varying the count. Here the maximum
count is
FFFF H. So, the square wave will remain high for 7FFF H counts and
remain low for 7FFF H counts. Thus with the input clock frequency of 1.5
MHz, which corresponds to a period of 0.067 microseconds, the
resulting square wave has an ON time of 0.02184 microseconds and an
OFF time of 0.02184 microseconds.
To increase the time period of square wave, set the jumpers such
that CLK2 of 8253 is connected to OUT 0. Using the above-mentioned
program, output a square wave of frequency 150 KHz at channel 0. Now
this is the clock to channel 2.

Result: Thus the 8253 has been interfaced to 8085 p and


Mode 3 of 8253 have been studied.
