Hi,

i am working with LPC1114 microprocessor and IRC Oscillator as clock. That clock works with 12 MHZ. I have simple program that tests the max output frequency. With code below, I get frequency 120kHZ on pin 0.9. Value in TIME_INTERVAL is max possible for processor to output some values on pin 0.9.

Where If difference between 12 MHZ and 120kHZ (100 times) lost?

int main(void) {
      __disable_irq();

      GPIOInit();
      GPIOSetDir(0, 9, 1);

      init_timer32(0, TIME_INTERVAL);

       enable_timer32(0);

       __enable_irq();

       while(1);

       return 0;
}

#define TIME_INTERVAL(SystemCoreClock / 1000000 - 1)
int status = 1;

void TIMER32_0_IRQHandler(void)
{
  if ( LPC_TMR32B0->IR & 0x01 )
  {
LPC_TMR32B0->IR = 1;/* clear interrupt flag */
timer32_0_counter++;
GPIOSetValue(0, 9, status);
status ^= 1;
  }
  if ( LPC_TMR32B0->IR & (0x1<<4) )
  {
LPC_TMR32B0->IR = 0x1<<4;/* clear interrupt flag */
timer32_0_capture++;
  }
  return;
}

Best regards,
Zlatko

So I need to use some faster external clocks to get more frequency?Is there any easier way :) ?

Yes, don't use interrupts , don't use slow pin switching  :)

Code  :O

Believe it or not, MCU is busy with a lot of funny stuff like jump at ISR and return from ISR...

And then it's busy in ISR also, even if you optimize your code...

Therefore it's useful to use faster options to generate a frequency  :)
