CC3200: CC3200 timer interrupt

Dennis Wang22

Part Number: CC3200

What is the smallest timer value I can set to trigger a timer interrupt on CC3200? What is interrupt latency for CC3200?

Also, if I start a timer (say Timer1) in another timer (Timer2) interrupt handler, and that interrupt handler will quickly exit, how quickly can Timer1 interrupt be served?

Thanks,

Hi Dennis,

It is a hardware timer that runs on an 80MHz clock, and note that the function Timer_IF_Start() takes the time delay value in milliseconds.

I recommend checking out the timer example in the CC3200 SDK, it demonstrates the use of the timers to generate periodic interrupts.

Thanks,
Alexis
