A computer uses a programmable clock in square-wav e mode. If a 500 MHz crystal is used, what should be the value of the holding register to achieve a clock resolution of (a) a millisecond (a clock tick once every millisecond)

500,000

Explanation:

A computer uses a programmable clock in square-wave mode. If a 500 MHz crystal is used, what should be the value of the holding register to achieve a clock resolution of (a) a millisecond (a clock tick once every millisecond)

1 millisecond = 1 million second = 1,000,000

For a 500 MHz crystal, Counter decrement = 2

Therefore value of the holding register to a clock resolution of 1,000,000 seconds :

1,000,000/2 = 500,000
