Delay Solutions for Microcontrollers: Loop vs Timer

Delay Solutions for Microcontrollers: Loop vs Timer

In embedded development, delay functions are fundamental operations. However, when faced with microsecond-level precision requirements, the choice between loop delays and timer solutions directly affects system stability. 1. Loop Delay: A Legacy from the Bare-Metal Era Implementation Principle: Consumes CPU cycles through no-operation instructions (such as NOP) or decrement loops. Critical Flaw: Precision fluctuation > … Read more
