Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You need to simulate a timer that should generate a delay of 2000 microseconds. Describe how you would set this up in Keil uVision.

💡 Hint: Refer to the formula we discussed for calculating initial timer values.

Question 2

If TH0 is reading 0xC4 and TL0 is 0xCC during simulation, what is the current timer count in decimal, and what does this indicate about the timer state?

💡 Hint: Consider how to convert hexadecimal to decimal and understand the timer operation.
