8254B CONTROL REGISTER
BADR3 + Bh
WRITE ONLY
D0D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
01324567
The control register is used to set the operating Modes of 8254B Counters 0,1 & 2. A counter is configured by writing the
correct Mode information to the Control Register, then the proper count data must be written to the specific Counter Regis-
ter.
The Counters on the 8254 are 16-bit devices. Since the interface to the 8254 is only 8-bits wide, Count data is written to the
Counter Register as two successive bytes. First the low byte is written, then the high byte. The Control Register is 8-bits
wide. Further information can be obtained on the 8254 data sheet, available from Intel or Harris.
