8051 Timer Interrupt Programming Guide

Timer/Counter and Interrupt programming involves using interrupts to trigger events and change the flow of a program. There are several types of interrupts in the 8051 including timer interrupts, external interrupts, and serial port interrupts. Interrupts are prioritized using an Interrupt Enable Register (IE) to enable sources and an Interrupt Priority Register (IP) to assign priority levels. When an interrupt occurs, the program counter jumps to an Interrupt Service Routine to handle the interrupt before returning to the main program.
