How to set _nop() time

[ahhhhhhhhhhh]

Hi Community,

I'm confused about the clock setting of RT1064. I want to use _nop() to have a delay, but I don't know how to calculate the delay time and what the clock the nop will use, and how to change the time of running one _nop() command?

I'm using the driver example program of GPT timer, and confused about the clock setting of this program.

Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be supporting your case, I suggest dot use the _nop() as delay, I recommend use a timer delay to get a better performance, in all the examples you can find the DOC file and documentation about the works of this.

Web: The simplest NOP statement in C is the null statement, which is just a semi-colon in a context requiring a statement.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your reply! I'm using a timer to get a interrupt for every 1s, and during the interrupt to have several nop for 100us, since I want to delay 100us for every 1s.  When I use timer and count the interrupt number, it has some problems. So if do not use nop, Is there any solution to generate such signal?

Best regards

Hello, sorry but that was not clear, could you elaborate further about what you want to do?

I understand the next: The interrupt is coming every 1s, but you want to delay 100us after that?

I want to generate a pulse train of 100us pulse width and 1Hz frequency using timer.

Hello, I do not recommend using a timer, maybe the example of the PWM could help you, because the timer has a specific time, rather than the PWM you could be able to move the duty cycle on the same frequency.

Hello, actually I have already used the eFlexPWM to generate a pair of high frequency (250KHZ) complementary PWM, and I want to make this PWM signal as the burst output, it means that the complementary PWM signal will output for 100us and then output low level voltage for 1s. And I don't know how to use another low frequency PWM(1HZ with 100us positive pulse width) to trigger this pair of high frequency complementary PWM signal, so I use timer to make it enable and disable for every 100us and 1s.

Hello,

Could please create a new question in the community as the information is different from the original post on this thread?
