Abstract

Frequency counter is main part of the 
instrumentation system for QCM sensor. Precision and stability 
of the frequency counter together with the compactness of the 
frequency counter are crucial factors in development of 
frequency counter for QCM sensor. CPLD is one of the good 
choice to be used as a core device to develop frequency counter. 
The design of the CPLD to be used as a frequency counter can 
be easily implemented as the availability of CPLD big amount 
of macrocells is existed. However, careful system design is also 
needed to optimize the used of the CPLD resources. In the 
development of CPLD as frequency counter, data transfer from 
CPLD to microcontroller plays a significant role to the resource 
usage. In the use of Xilinx XC95108 as 26 bit dual frequency 
counter, data transfer with 4 bit data width is the most 
appropriate one to be implemented. The developed frequency 
counter shows a high accuracy, precision and stability. The 
developed frequency counter has a 1 Hz precision and stability.
