Question

Which of the following will generate the maximum time delay?

(a) f/2

(b) f/4

(c) f/16

(d) f/32

I got this question in a job interview.

This key question is from Timer Programming in portion AVR Microcontroller of Microcontroller

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) f/32

For explanation I would say: f/32 has the lowest frequency as it is divided by the maximum value of the constant, so as time and frequency are inversely related to each other so this will generate the maximum amount of machine cycle which will as a result generate the greatest delay.
