MEASURING, TIMING, CREATING

Real-time systems use hardware timers for keeping time in order to measure and create events and generate periodic interrupts. These events include engine velocity and acceleration, waveform generation, real-time clocks, and stepper motor controllers. The MMC2107 provides two 16-bit timers with input capture and output compare circuits that can measure and create variable pulse widths and automatically reload to reduce overhead from the microcontroller.
