Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a system with a processor state save time of 5 microseconds and an ISR setup time of 3 microseconds. Calculate the total interrupt latency.

💡 Hint: Add together the individual components contributing to latency.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the consequences of delaying ISR execution in an environment where rapid data signal processing is essential, such as audio processing.

💡 Hint: Think about real-time audio processing needs.
