L17: Timers using timer peripherals for precise control & measurement in embedded systems

Welcome to Lecture 17 of the course “Embedded C Programming” by Prof. Nitin Chandrachoodan.

Video Overview
This lecture offers an in-depth look at clocks and timing in microcontrollers, essential for understanding embedded systems. Explore the fundamentals of digital clocks, their role in sequential logic, and the significance of system state. Learn how clocking underpins operations like sampling, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), pulse width modulation (PWM), and timer-based input capture. We also examine internal and external clock sources, STM32 clock architecture, real-time clocks (RTC), oscillators, PLLs, and low-power modes, highlighting their impact on performance, power consumption, and frequency scaling.
