The PIC16C5X has one 8-bit timer (Timer0), which can be used with an 8-bit prescaler. The prescaler runs asynchronously, hence it can count a very high frequency. The minimum rise and fall times of ...

Frequency! It’s an important thing to measure, which is why [Jacques Pelletier] built a frequency counter some time ago. The four-function unit is humble, capable, and also an entry into our 2025 One ...

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 ...

Recently, for some reason, I have been seeing a lot of references to the good old MM5314/5/6 clock ICs from National Semiconductor. These were some of the first 40-pin LSI (large-scale integration) ...
