#102305 - The Right Frequency
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Rohit Sivakumar said:
So here I am unable to understand whether using higher frequency will reduce the error or using lower frequency and also how is this percentage derived?

You need a crystal frequency which is an exact power of 2 multiplied by some convenient factor. That's why 32.something KHz crystals are often used because dividing by 2^15 gives a 1mS period.

                        low frequencies Crystals are bigger ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     32.768kHz means low current consumption            01/01/70 00:00      
                        so higher Frequeny crystals are accurate            01/01/70 00:00
