The major component of this circuit is Microchip’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, which is a pin-for-pin compatible with typical 8051 microcontroller devices. It has a built-in timer used to produce accurate ...

In this paper the authors give a novel idea about the design and implementation of a microcontroller based pulse counter. Intel 8051 is used as the main microcontroller unit and the system has ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases, a timer measures elapsed time (counting processor clock ticks). In others, we want to count or time external ...

After the electromechanical timer on [Paul Canello’s] washing machine broke for the third time he decided he needed to stop repairing it and find a more permanent fix. He decided to build his… ...

In life and embedded systems timing is everything. Give [Frank’s] web-based timer calculator a try. Set your system clock resolution (in hertz making sure you account for any system clock div… ...

Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's ...

Atmel (R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today three new 20-pin tinyAVR (R) Flash microcontroller devices with high-speed timers targeting battery chargers, sensor end-points and motor ...
