 Question..
What would be the content of TCCR0 if you want to
run the counter in Normal mode with No
Prescaling?

11
 Question..
What would be the content of TCCR0 if you want to
run the counter in CTC mode with external clock
source, clock activating on rising edge?

12
 Question..
Find the timers clock frequency and its period for
various AVR-based system with the following clock
frequencies. Assume that no prescaler is used.

A. 10 MHz
B. 8 MHz
C. 1 MHz

13
 Time Delay Calculations

Time delay = (FF NN + 1) x Single Clock Period

Where: FF = Biggest 8 bit Hex number

NN = Hex value to load in TCNT0

14
 Time Delay Calculations

Time delay = (256 MM) x Single Clock Period

Where: MM = Decimal value to load in TCNT0

 Question..
What value will you load into TCNTO if you want to
generate time delay of 25 uSec ? Assume Clock
frequency = 1 MHz, and no prescaling is used.

16
 Question..
What value will you load into TCNTO if you want to
generate time delay of 1 uSec ? Assume Clock
frequency = 10 MHz, and no prescaling is used.
