Microprocessor & Peripheral Interfacing Devices: 8254 Programmable Interval Timer

This document summarizes the 8254 programmable interval timer. It has 3 independent 16-bit counters that can handle clock inputs up to 10 MHz. The counters are selected using address lines A1 and A0. It uses control signals like WR for write and RD for read. The microprocessor communicates with the timer through an 8-bit data bus buffer. The counters decrement the count value by 1 at each clock step while the gate signal is enabled.

WR
• It stands for write. This control
signal enables the write
operation. When this signal goes
low, the microprocessor writes
into counter or control register.

RD
• It stands for Read. This control
signal enables the Read
operation. When the signal is
low, the microprocessor reads
the data from the selected
counter.

Data Bus Buffer


Register It is 8-bit buffer, which
11101111 is used to interface the
microprocessor to the
system data bus.
Data is transmitted or
received by the buffer
as per the instructions
by the CPU.

Depending upon the value of CS, A1
and A0 we can determine addresses
1 of selected counter.
Gate is used to enable or disable
counting.
When any value of count is loaded
and value of gate is set(1), after every
step value of count is decremented
by 1 until it becomes zero.
