Interrupt Latency vs CPU Clock
Fórmula
## Understanding Interrupt Latency Interrupt latency is the delay from when an interrupt occurs to when the ISR begins executing. ### Components **Total Cycles = Sync + Pipeline Flush + Context Save + Vector Fetch** **Latency (ns) = Total Cycles / Clock Frequency x 10^9** ### Breakdown - **Synchronization**: Aligning the async interrupt to the clock - **Pipeline flush**: Discarding partially executed instructions - **Context save**: Pushing registers onto the stack - **Vector fetch**: Reading the ISR address from the vector table ARM Cortex-M3/M4 processors achieve 12 cycles total. Simpler 8-bit MCUs may take 4-6 cycles.
Ejemplo Resuelto
72 MHz ARM Cortex-M: 2 sync, 3 pipeline, 12 context save, 3 vector fetch.
- 01Total cycles: 2 + 3 + 12 + 3 = 20
- 02Latency: 20 / 72e6 x 1e9 = 277.8 ns
- 03Max interrupt rate: 72e6 / 20 = 3,600,000 Hz
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is worst-case interrupt latency?
Add the longest non-interruptible instruction time and any interrupt masking periods. For hard real-time systems, worst-case matters most.
Does interrupt priority affect latency?
In systems with nested interrupts, higher-priority interrupts preempt lower ones immediately. Lower-priority ones wait, increasing their worst-case latency.
How do I reduce interrupt latency?
Use a faster clock, minimize context save (use fewer registers), enable tail-chaining (ARM Cortex-M), and keep critical sections short.
