2. Suppose that a 16-bit timer counts up at 250 kHz.

(a) Calculate the number of microseconds until the 16-bit timer reaches "TOP," the largest 16-bit unsigned integer.

(b) Suppose that the counter starts at zero, and counts rising edges starting at exactly noon. What is the 16 bit value in the counter exactly 3 ms after noon?

(c) Suppose that the timer starts at zero and counts up to 4229 before rolling over to zero, instead of counting up to 4230.

Calculate how many microseconds does it take this counter to complete a period. HINT: Counting from 0 to 1, and then back to 0 takes 2/250000 seconds, not 1/250000 seconds.
