#141521 - interrupt vectoring vs. latency
Responding to: ???'s previous message
David Prentice said:
You only have 5 machine cycles to play with anyway including the interrupt vectoring which is between 3 and 8 machine cycles.

Just some hairsplitting: the interrupt vectoring is a pretty standard lcall (just generated by hardware), so it takes 2 cycles. What you are talking about is the interrupt latency.

In other words, the execution of an interrupt consisting of one bit toggle and reti (i.e. it has to be placed at the 03-0B-13-etc. address) takes 5 cycles, but the toggle might come 3 to 8 cycles after the timer rollover.

Now I would need to think hard which one of these two does matter in this particular case, but it's quite late here... :-)

PS. ... and the jitter will be horrible...
