#139392 - Why no more than 100K?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
First of all thanks Erik and Daniel for your answers.

I dont understand why I cant measure more than 100khz if the clock is 24MHz. I will take a look at the internal schematic of the 8051.

by the way, my intention is not to make the best frequency meter, I'm doing it only to practice a) making my first PCB with a 8051, b) LCD display interface, c) timers, d) counters, e) interrupts, so 100K is a good value. Some years ago I built a freqency generator (square, triangle,..) with a chip like the NE555, so, again, 100k will be OK.

thanks!!!
Jorge

            the obvious way to do this is to use one timer as            01/01/70 00:00
