Need frequency counter schematic

frequency counter schematic

Hi. I'm looking for a good, simple, relatively high frequency (~100MHz) frequency counter schematic or kit. Can anyone help? Thanks.

HI arebee!
Use uC (PIC or AVR) and prescaler for this project.
AT90S2313 is verry good for frequency counter (it have 16bit capture function on timer 1!).

simple frequency counter schematic

I have this one!
Parameters:
F=100 Hz ... 1000 Mhz
Vin = 100mV ... 5V
I = 80 mA
Vsup= 5V

Based on AT89C51 and Diode Matrix Display.

try to search www, there are a many schematic with PIC 16C84

frequency counter schematic 250mhz

Arebee, here is a link of an old proven counter based on a c84:
http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/weedfreq.htm

This design counts from 1Hz-50Mhz, but that is using a old c84 w 4Mhz xtal. With an F84A using 20Mhz it should be able to count up to 250Mhz (depending on the input circuitry)
Sensitivity approximately 100 mV RMS (100 Hz to 2 MHz), 800 mV RMS @ 50 MHz

i recomend a bit scope as a kit


it is able to count to 1 ghz uses a pic877
has some other features and you can export data to a pc from it
it has four channels of 100mhz bandwidth scope
a mv meter and a 1 ghz counter

all in one

cost about 280 euro to get the full kit

assembled in about a day solid

my advice is to visit the local emporium and just spend 130 -140 euro

and buy one new {i get a 2 ghz lcd for this here}

some nice counters are very cheep when all the sums are done it works to the same

These PIC based Frequency Meters do not depend on the speed of the MPU too much. It has mainly to do with the speed of the gate at the input of the counter. So a 20Mhz device will not give you any more than the 4MHz component. Here is one that is interesting:

mabusoe, if you check the link you supplied, you will find that it's exactly the same as the one I gave earlier. And you are of couse right about the input gate, thats why I said "depending on the input circuitry" in my post. But you need a fast input circuit AND a fast MCU (or a external prescaler), thats why I suggested to raise the xtal freq.

hi,

can you please give me a code example, in C if it's possible?
i'm struggling to write a frequency counter for Attiny2313.

thanks in advanced.
