TIMER/COUNTER UNIT
Example 9-2. Configuring a Square-Wave Generator
$mod186
name
example_timer1_square_wave_code
;FUNCTION: This function generates a square wave of given
; frequency and duty cycle on Timer 1 output pin.
;
; SYNTAX:
extern void far clock(int mark, int space)
;
; INPUTS:
mark - This is the mark (1) time.
; space - This is the space (0) time.
;
;
The register compare value for a given time can be
; easily calculated from the formula below.
;
;
CompareValue = (req_pulse_width*f)/4
;
; OUTPUTS:
None
;
