Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a timer configuration for a motor to start after a 3-second delay. The clock speed is 1 MHz. What counter value is required if the prescaler is set to 10?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula: Count = Delay * Effective Frequency.

Question 2

If a timer is set with a high prescaler and high counter, explain potential timing issues that might arise when integrated with other system functions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how timing impacts overall system responsiveness.
