Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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?
💡 Hint: Use the formula: Count = Delay * Effective Frequency.
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.
💡 Hint: Think about how timing impacts overall system responsiveness.
