setup_timer_2( )
PostPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:33 am     Reply with quote
Who can explain ?


Quote:
setup_timer_2 ( T2_DIV_BY_4, 0xc0, 2);

// At 20Mhz, the timer will increment every 800ns,

// will overflow every 154.4us,

// and will interrupt every 308.8us.


1. How to get the value of 800ns, 154.4us, and 308.8us ?
2. 20MHz oscillator means what? What is the use to have oscillator?

Look again.
Think for a moment. Master clock/(4*prescaler), gives a clock rate of 1.25MHz feeding the counter. What is 1/1.25E6?
Then what is 154.4*2. Given the last number says 'how many times the timer must loop between interrupts', what do you think this implies?....

Best Wishes
