Thanks Hans

Well, it turned out that wasn't the problem. The Debug window was not
reset - so it was specified as a 16 bit value there - no problem when I
fixed the representation to a 32 bit value :-)

Cheers

#define SYSCLK 		10000000UL
#define SYSCLK_MINUTE   (60*SYSCLK)

would be easier to maintain.  The UL suffix might even suffice to make
your problem go away.

unsigned int is a 16-bit type on that platform.  That's your problem
(along with the fact that Keil doesn't strictly follow ANSI integer
promotion rules unless you request that explicitly)

If the suffix doesn't do it already, you may have to case SampleRate to
(unsigned long) here.

Hi

Well, this is driving me nuts. I'm using Keil uVision C51 compiler for a
Cygnal 80C51F302 device

This is the code:

""""""""
#define SYSCLK   10000000  // SYSCLK frequency in Hz
#define SYSCLK_MINUTE 600000000 // (600E6)

unsigned long TimerCount;
unsigned int SampleRate;

TimerCount = SYSCLK_MINUTE / SampleRate;
""""""""""

If SampleRate is 6 for example, the result of TimerCount is 1525

When I would suspect it should be 100000000 (10E6)

Where's my mistake?

Thanks

Klaus
