Timer-Prescaler tool for PIC16/18, PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32.
This Excel sheet provides some tools to choose the prescaler value of a timer.
It provides the following tables/functionalities:
1. A "Calculator": calculates the prescaler and the needed # of timer steps, given the MCU frequency, the time wanted in how many steps. Also manual entry for the prescaler is possible.
2. The calculation of the input frequency of a timer (both in MegaHertz and KiloHertz), given the MCU clock in Mhz and the value of the Prescaler.
3. The calculation of the step time of a timer (both in microSeconds and milliseconds), given the MCU clock in Mhz and the value of the Prescaler.
4. The "Range" of the 8 bits timers (both in microSeconds and milliseconds), given the MCU clock in Mhz and the value of the Prescaler.
5. The "Range" of the 16 bits timers (both in microSeconds and milliseconds), given the MCU clock in Mhz and the value of the Prescaler.
6. The "Time" a timer needs to make "x" steps. For 8 bit timers "x" is 0..255, for 16 bit timers "x" is 0..65535.
Have fun!
