# Implementing a `Monotonic` timer for scheduling
The framework is flexible because it can use any timer which has compare-match and optionally supporting overflow interrupts for scheduling. The single requirement to make a timer usable with RTIC is implementing the [`rtic-time::Monotonic`] trait.
For RTIC 1.0 and 2.0 we instead assume the user has a time library, e.g. [`fugit`] or [`embedded_time`], as the basis for all time-based operations when implementing `Monotonic`. These libraries make it much easier to correctly implement the `Monotonic` trait, allowing the use of
almost any timer in the system for scheduling.
The trait documents the requirements for each method, and for inspiration
there is a reference implementation based on the `SysTick` timer available on all ARM Cortex M MCUs.
- [`Systick based`], runs at a fixed interrupt (tick) rate - with some overhead but simple and provides support for large time spans
Here is a list of `Monotonic` implementations for RTIC 1.0:
- [`STM32F411 series`], implemented for the 32-bit timers
- [`Nordic nRF52 series Timer`], implemented for the 32-bit timers
- [`Nordic nRF52 series RTC`], implemented for the RTCs
- [`DWT and Systick based`], a more efficient (tickless) implementation - requires both `SysTick` and `DWT`, supports both high resolution and large time spans
If you know of more implementations feel free to add them to this list.
