A 16-bit presetable counter with 1 MHz clock input can be used to generate delay in the range of :

  • A.0 to 64 mS with 1 µS resolution
  • B.16 µS with 1 µS resolution
  • C.6400 µS with 1 mS resolution
  • D.16 mS with 1 mS resolution

Answer: A

The delay range is 0 to 64 mS with 1 µS resolution.

With a 1 MHz clock, each count lasts 1 µs, which is the resolution. A 16-bit presettable counter can be loaded with any count from 0 to \(2^{16} - 1\):

\[ \begin{aligned} 2^{16} &= 65536\ \text{counts} \\ T_{max} &= 65536 \times 1\ \mu s \\ &\approx 65.5\ \text{ms} \end{aligned} \]

Taking 64K (65,536) counts as '64 ms', the delay runs from 0 to about 64 ms in 1 µs steps. 16 µs confuses the number of bits with the count, and a 1 ms resolution would need a 1 kHz clock.
