Question

How many timers does the Atmega32U4 have?

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question originated from Microcontroller Specifications topic in division AtMega Microcontroller Specifications of Arduino

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) 4

The best I can explain: The Atmega32U4 has a total of 4 timers, of which 1 is an 8-bit timer, 2 are 16-bit timers, and 1 is a 10-bit timer. The number of bits here represents the resolution of the timers, I.e. the number of bits each timer can store.
