An accurate way to calibrate a frequency source is to use a high-resolution counter/timer to measure the beat frequency, or phase difference, between the source to be calibrated and a reference such ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...

Do you have work to do and need a timer to keep you focused? You don’t need something overly sophisticated with many features, but a simple timer that uses minimal resources? Then, you may want to ...

As workhorse testbench instruments go, frequency counters/timers are right up there with the most frequently used pieces of gear. They see application in a very broad range of design/debug ...

The PMC424 combines 40 I/O lines for TTL and differential signals with four 16-bit counter/timers and the PMC464 provides 64 TTL I/O lines plus four 16-bit timer/counters whose TTL- compatible ...

One of the greatest modern aids for driving is not intended for drivers at all. I refer to the digital displays at an increasing number intersections that count down the seconds until the traffic ...
