QUESTION

In AVR, which of the following registers are not used for programming timers?

A) TCNT

B) TCON

C) TIFR

D) none of the mentioned

Hide !

Answer: B

Explanation: In the timer programming of an AVR micro controller,mainly used registers are TCNTn that stores the values of the count. TCCRn
that is used to assign the mode of operation of a timer and TIFR that stores the status of various flags of the timers. Two more registers are
used they are OCRn and OCFn. They are used for comparison with the count register.

QUESTION

What is the use of the prescalar in the operation of the timer?

A) for fast calculations

B) for increasing the time delay given by the timer by decreasing its frequency of operation

C) for removing the concept the reloading of count

D) for easy counter operations

Hide !
Answer: B

Explanation: Prescalars are used in the operation of the timers because they generally increase the time delay generation by deceasing the
frequency of its operation.

QUESTION

What modes are generally used in the operation of the timer0?

A) normal mode

B) CTC mode

C) PWM mode

D) all of the mentioned

Hide !

Answer: D

Explanation: Modes of a timer are decided by the WGM00 and WGM01 bit of the TCCR0 register and for timer0 these modes are normal mode,
CTC mode, pwm mode and the fast pwm mode.

QUESTION

Timer 0 can act as a counter

A) if the CS02-CS00 are 110 or 111

B) if the FOC0 bit is set to 110

C) none of the mentioned

D) all of the mentioned

Hide !

Answer: A

Explanation: Timer0 can act as a counter if the CS02-CS00 bits are from 110-111.
QUESTION

Which of the timer can operate in the 16 bit condition?

A) timer0

B) timer1

C) timer2

D) all of the mentioned

Hide !

Answer: B

Explanation: Timer0 and Timer2 can operate in the 8 bit condition while only Timer 1 operates in the 16 bit condition.

QUESTION

Which of the following will generate the maximum time delay?

A) f/2

B) f/4

C) f/16

D) f/32

Hide !

Answer: D

Explanation: f/32 has the lowest frequency as it is divided by the maximum value of the constant, so as time and frequency are inversely related
to each other so this will generate the maximum amount of machine cycle which will as a result generate the greatest delay.

QUESTION

What is the difference in operation of a normal and a CTC mode of a timer?

A) in CTC mode PWM is used

B) here serial timer is monitored

C) her the contents are compared with the OCR register, if value becomes equal then only the timer is cleared

D) none of the mentioned

Hide !

Answer: C

Explanation: In CTC mode of a timer the contents of the counter register are compared with the OCR register to clear the flag for the roll over
condition to come.
