Timers are widely used in industrial and domestic application for automating tasks. Microcontrollers can be used to design versatile and accurate timers with ease. Here I present a simple timer that can be used to turn on/off a load after user specified time. The Timer uses a standard 16×2 lcd module for user interface (UI). […]
AVR Project – Relay Timer with ATmega8 AVR MCU Read More »
Timers are used in many different applications for example in Industrial Applications, to switch ON or switch OFF any device or a machine load for a specific period of time. In the same way the timers are used in Domestic Appliances like in Air Conditioners, Microwave Ovens, Washing Machines, Food Processors etc. The applications for

This article is in continuation of PWM generation using AVR timer. In the previous article, PWM generation using Phase correct PWM mode is described. However, there are some applications like DAC, power regulation and rectification etc. which require high frequency PWM wave. The PWM generation using Fast PWM mode is suitable for such applications. This
How to use fast PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode of AVR microcontroller Timer Read More »
Pulse Width Modulation is well known technique for controlling power electronics devices like SCR, IGBT etc. PWM is also used in motor speed controlling. Square wave generation by using AVR timers is explained in previous article. The AVR timers have feature of PWM wave generation as well .This article describes PWM generation capability of AVR
Phase Correct PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode of AVR microcontroller Timer Read More »
Some high end applications require multiple or critical calculations to be done by the microcontroller. This may lead to cases when the controller enters into wrong or infinite loops. As a result of this, the system either hangs up or gets crashed. The solution to overcome these situations is to automatically reset the system whenever

Do you get stuck doing PIC timer calculation of juggling between datasheet, calculator, and your design requirements? If so then you need some tools to automate the process. Calculations Usually you will need to focus on the end result is usually the timer generates a measure of frequency or time period. It is quite
