In life and embedded systems timing is everything. Give [Frank’s] web-based timer calculator a try. Set your system clock resolution (in hertz making sure you account for any system clock divider), ...

Microcontrollers now find use in every walk of life. Their peripherals vary from the general-purpose I/Os to the USB interface, making them versatile for a range of products. Timing is one key part of ...

The need for timing in embedded programming often exceeds the small number of available hardware timers in microcontrollers. For example, the Microchip PIC16F84A has one timer, but you can create as ...

This presentation covers the functionality and applications of timers and counters within the MSP430 microcontroller family. It explores different timer types, configurations, and real-world usage in ...

Debouncing button or switch inputs on microcontrollers can be a challenging problem for those first starting to program these devices. Part of the reason for this difficulty is that real-world buttons ...

A tiny clock that integrates air quality monitoring, a timer, and an alarm sounds cool, right? Let's get into the article and ...

Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's (MCU's) I/O lines. To ...

NRF_TIMER_FREQ_16MHz = 0, ///< Timer frequency 16 MHz. NRF_TIMER_FREQ_8MHz, ///< Timer frequency 8 MHz. NRF_TIMER_FREQ_4MHz, ///< Timer frequency 4 MHz. NRF_TIMER ...

Adding to the tinyAVR microcontroller family, the 20-pin ATtiny261, ATtiny461, and ATtiny861 pair 2 KB, 4 KB, and 8 KB of flash memory, respectively, with high-speed timers. Each operates at 20 MHz ...
