Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You need to create a timer for a device that requires a 200 ms delay using a 72 MHz timer clock. How do you configure the prescaler and ARR?

💡 Hint: Recall how to derive the counter frequency and then apply the logic to calculate the ARR.

Question 2

If the Update Interrupt Flag fails to clear, what impact does it have on your application that relies on precise timing?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens in a timed sequence when signals don't reset.
