Have you ever started a project, run into an issue, started a new project to solve the issue, and completely forgot about the original project? [Andy] went down a rabbit hole of needing a tool to ...

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 ...

The project aims to build a simple and easily-reproducible RF/Microwave frequency counter that is based around a PIC16F876A microcontroller. This particular frequency counter has three inputs ...

One generally reads a data sheet in one of two ways. The first is to take every spec at face value, figuring that the engineers have taken everything into account and presented each number as the ...

Computer engineer Thiery Guennou based in France has created a new Arduino compatible precision frequency counter 5 or 120 MHz. The inspiration behind the Arduino board was to build an open, very ...

The prescaler described here connects to the front end of a 100-MHz frequency counter to extend its coverage range to 10 GHz. The circuit is a far less expensive way to measure frequencies above 100 ...

B&K Precision has introduced a pair of 10 digit frequency counters reaching 3 or 6GHz, with ±1ppm stability across their +5 to +40°C operating range. “This series utilizes a reciprocal counting ...

In frequency counters, the gating time allotted for counting is often too short to resolve low frequencies. A phase-locked loop could be used to multiply the input frequency. But in some cases, the ...

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced may flash you back to the days of Pets.com and the blink tag, but there’s a lot of utility here. Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced is a useful utility ...
