60 Mhz Frequency Meter / counter

Introduction


 This is 60 MHz frequency meter / counter for measuring frequency from 10 Hz to 60 MHz with 10 Hz resolution. The meter provides very stable readings and has excellent input sensitivity thanks to on board amplifier and TTL converter, so it can even measure weak signals from crystal oscillators. With the addition of prescaller it is possible to measure the frequency of 1GHz and above. 

           The basic idea comes from the AN592 Microchip application note: "Frequency counter using PIC16C5x" where you may find a simple software wich implements a frequency counter using a PIC microcontroller.I wrote a specifically designed software to improve the counter resolution, to handle the IF mode and value by means of an operating menu, to decode and edit the read frequency on an LCD display. The result was a simple and effective device. 



  
Circuit / Schematic 
       The electrical schematic is very simple, given that most of the functions are implemented by the microprocessor. It was needed only an amplifier stage to raise the input signal level from 200-300 mV p.p. to about 3 volts p.p.  A self biased common emitter amplifier produces a pseudo-TTL driving signal. The 10uH inductor in the collector lead helps extend the high frequency response. Any "fast" NPN transistor should be suitable. I used a BFR91, but you may substitute a transistor scrounged from an old TV tuner or a VHF receiver.
   

BFR 91 Transistor Front
         The amplifier's quiescent Vce is set to 1.8 to 2.2 volt by the resistor marked * on the diagram. It is nominally 10K, but you may need to change it. The collector voltage is applied to the PIC's counter/timer via a series 470 ohm resistor.The PIC is able to short this signal to ground via an internal pull-down transistor to disable counting. 


           The PIC implements a 32 bit counter, partly in internal hardware and partly in software. Counting is enabled by turning off the internal pull-down transistor for "exactly" 0.4 second. At the end of this time, the PIC divides the count by 4, then adds or subtracts the appropriate IF frequency to get the actual frequency. The resulting count is converted to printable characters and delivered
to the display.

Calibrating : before use 


       Before the frequency meter will work properly, it must be calibrated. This may be as simple as connecting a known frequency source and adjusting the trimmer capacitor so the correct value is displayed. If you are unable to adjust the displayed frequency, then a "coarse calibration" is required. This involves starting with the power off. Pin 10 is connected to ground and the power is then turned on (and held on). The PIC will measure and display the input frequency, followed by the letters CAL. If you can't adjust the indicated frequency to the correct value (by adjusting the 33 pF trimmer), then coarse adjustments can be made by briefly connecting pin 12 or pin 13 to ground. It may take several tries, because the program only checks these pins once each measurement (0.4 second). Once you are happy with the adjustment, remove the ground from pin 10 (while power is still applied). This will cause the PIC to store the calibration in non volatile internal memory.

  1. Hi - Thanks for a great circuit :) - I would like to make the count update rate faster. The program will run at 20Mhz with a 16F84-20 PIC, but the displayed frequency is obviously 5x lower than it should be (eg a 50Hz input shows 10Hz). Do you have the ASM source code please so I can adjust the timing values ? - many thanks.

  8. I noticed the pcb layout does not match the schematic. Which is correct for the .HEX file?

    Schematic
    PIC6 - LCD11 - PCB11
    PIC7 - LCD12 - PCB12
    PIC8 - LCD13 - PCB9
    PIC9 - LCD14 - PCB8

    Also, could you send me the .asm source file as I can use it to verify which is the correct pinouts plus I would like to add voltage measurement to the code. rhodes[at]fnrf.science.cmu.ac.th Replace [at] with @

    1. hi
      thankx for your comment

      but as u can see with the schematic the lcd pin 7,8,9,10 not connected to any where so what do is on the pcb side there is no drill holes for female burg strip

      and so on lcd module only from pin 1 to 6 and 11 to 16 have male burg strip pin7 to 10 left empty .

      you said PIC8 - LCD13 - PCB9 but when there is no drill on pcb side so no metal pin on female burg strip(i pulled out 4 metal pin with a pliers)and even on the lcd pin 7 to 10 male burg strip is not soldered.and you can see the PCB trace is going to lcd 13 ultimately .
      i have personally tested it working fine.

      if you still have any confusion ,feel free to ask.

  10. I like it and could be nice quick troubleshooting tool...

    I would like to take your effort and make a USB powered version - do you have any idea of current draw on 9V Battery ?

    Also a copy of source code would make the USB conversion easier. Plan on using Windows/C++Builder for display instead of LCD.

  20. Congratulations for your design and thank you by publishing it, Gaurav Chaudhary. It works perfectly. It's very stable with frequency.
    I would like to measure higher frequencies and I could read above that it's possible to get more than 1 GHz with prescaler but ..... is the software prepared to it or needs a diferent software?

    Thanks in advance.

  41. I notice that you say your circuit can be set for specific IF frequencies.
    Would I be right in thinking this involves the use of pins 11, 12 and 13 to allow the PIC to measure an offset frequency, store it and then add/subtract it from the actual input to pin A4?
    Could you clarify this point please?

  83. Fellows,

    After some experiments i found that:
    1. If you have LCD 1X16 ground pin 18
    2.the jumpers at pin 11,12,13 is for USB,LSB,IF when pin 10 is not grounded.If it is grounded the pin 10 then you can do the coarse calibration IF you need it (not me after all).
    3.The variable c has little influence on the frequency value.
    4.Be careful of the sin purity of the hf input...

      However, when first time programmed the "old" 16F84 without erasing the EEPROM, the zero value was some aberrant value... after erasing it, the zero was zero... :).

  102. Friends I rode this frequency meter was good, but would like it to start with minus (-) 455hz because I intend to use in my analog radio.
    Anyone know how to solve this?
    See the frequency meter mounted on my blog. http://qsldobrasil.blogspot.com

  128. Hi Richard,
    I put your frequency counter with PIC 16F84A and are very happy with the operation and calibration of the sampling frequency.
    I do not understand how you adjust the IF in - and +, and how to use the remaining jumpers, please can you help me and answer my email: fravillama@alice.it.

  130. Hello Gaurav,

    Thank you for this great circuit ! I built it due to my friend request but as normal friends want more and more :)

    Now the topic is can this frequency meter be modified to measure (or count) frequency in 1Hz to 50Mhz with some modification os the source code?

    Myself I understand well PIC programmint in ASM code so if you would be so kind and send me the source code to my email address: t_lendvai@hotmail.com

    Thank you in advance!

  141. Здравствуйте! А нельзя ли добавить в прошивку kHz для удобного пользования? В mHz диапазоне на низкочастотных кварцах не все разряды видны. Например 32.768kHz вы видите только 00.003276mHz. Это жутко не удобно, иметь хороший дисплей и видеть эту абракадабру... Заранее Спасибо.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Hello! Is it possible to add kHz to the firmware for convenient use? In the mHz range, on low-frequency crystals, not all discharges are visible. For example 32.768kHz you only see 00.003276mHz. It is terribly inconvenient to have a good display and see this gibberish. Thanks in advance.

    1. For that you would need to either set gate time longer than a second, get a really fast reference clock and measure period or apply some other way of measurement. Its possible but need changes to design.

  146. Hi.
    I implemented this circuit as my very first approach to PIC world.
    Well it was a success but there is something I can't understand.
    I apologize in advance if my question may be stupid.
    With no frequency applied the meter reads 60.70911 MHz (!).
    With frequency at input, the reading is subtracted by the same amount, that is to say the reading is 60.70911-fin.
    In CAL mode instead the reading is correct.
    Could someone explain? How could I fix this issue?
    Thank you for your assistance
    Marco
