STM32 Timers + Interruptions - Error

Hi,

I set an interruption handler for a timer. Each time it calls the handler I change the state of a IO. But I'm getting problems for frequency above 80kHz. If I set the period to:

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.

TIM_Period

= SystemCoreClock/

160000

-

1

; I got an 80kHz in the channel output and in the IO that is changed by the interruption: Channel-0: PA2 - Timer 2 Chanel 2 Channel-1: PC9 - IO 0690X00000604slQAA.png But if I set the period to:

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.

TIM_Period

= SystemCoreClock/

160000

-

1

;

It will create a 85kHz on OC2 but the IO drive by the interruption can't handle it. Am I in the limit of normal io speed? The measured frequency for the IO is 42kHz.

Interrupting the processor at several hundred KHz, is probably getting close to saturating a 24 MHz processor. Limited by the number of instructions per interrupt.

You'd definitely want to change your interrupt so it doesn't re-enter (M3/NVIC pipeline hazard), by doing the clearing early.

void TIM2_IRQHandler(void)
{
TIM_ClearITPendingBit(TIM2,TIM_IT_Update);
change=1;
}
