Mode 3 – 8-bit Split Timer
AT89LP428/828
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
locked into a timer function (counting clock cycles) and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from
Timer 1. Thus, TH0 now controls the Timer 1 interrupt. While Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 will
still obey its settings in TMOD but cannot generate an interrupt.
Mode 3 is for applications requiring an extra 8-bit timer or counter. With Timer 0 in Mode 3, the
AT89LP428/828 can appear to have three Timer/Counters. When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1
can be turned on and off by switching it out of and into its own Mode 3. In this case, Timer 1 can
still be used by the serial port as a baud rate generator or in any application not requiring an
interrupt.

Note:
RH0/RL0 are not required by Timer 0 during Mode 3 and may be used as temporary storage
registers.
