The 16f877a has a timer that supports both postscalar and prescalar operations.
Could anyone please let me know the difference between the prescalar and postscalar functionality?
I tried using the prescalar functionality in the pic 16f877a and realized depending upon the number set as prescalar, that many instruction cycles would have to pass by before the timer increments by one.
But I don't understand the concept of postscalar.
Thank you
