4.4 Frequency Generator
4.4.1 To generate a 250 KHz Square Wave.
Step 1: Use a fixed clock source because the output is a fixed
frequency.
Step 2: The internal 8MHz clock is capable of generating the
250KHz frequency. Use Counter 1 for this application.
∴
250 kHz = 8MHz/32
Step 3: The gate source should be set to “enable” always and
therefore GATE1 is let open (pin 99 of CN1).
Step 4: Connect the counter output to an external device and
write the control program. Refer to ‘DEMO1.C’
source code.
