Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a configuration of a frequency counter measuring 100 Hz input with a gate time of 1 second, how many pulses should be counted, and what will be the measurement resolution if the gate time is adjusted to 10 seconds?

💡 Hint: Use the relation that counts are determined by the gate time and input frequency.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the AND gate is modified to control signal flow based on two inputs instead of one, explain how this would enhance measurement capabilities.

💡 Hint: Consider how time intervals are defined in the context of electronics.
