This video presents hardware limit timer peripheral (HLT). Applications must detect when a signal or event has not occurred within a window of time. Traditional microcontroller solutions will often ...

[Josh] has written up two posts that those of you who use AVRs might find handy. The first post documents a C library that implements a jitter-free one-shot timer. The second post explains how it ...

Most microprocessors have some type of hardware watchdog that can be used to reset the microprocessor and the surrounding hardware to a known state if firmware inadvertently stops executing code. But ...

Accurate timers are critical to the function of the low-level parts of the underlying code that drives the user-facing software we actually use in our daily lives. Fortunately, x86-64 PCs include ...

A new protocol stack from Real-Time Systems GmbH eliminates the need for hardware-based time stamping and delivers accuracies of up to ±5 µs or better. As a software-only implementation of the IEEE ...
