RE: [AVR-Chat] Using A/D's and high speed timing ISR's together

2005-12-09 by MuRaT KaRaDeNiZ

are you worried about noise or timing?
In terms of timing, the occurance of interrupts will not interfere with A/D conversions, as all the timing of A/D module is generated by itself, no cpu cycles is needed for this. interrupts will only slow down your average A/D conversion rate if you do for example single shot A/D conversions in the main of the firmware.

Subject: [AVR-Chat] Using A/D's and high speed timing ISR's together

Hello,
I'm just seeing if anyone has performed this type of operation and
could offer advice on using A/D's with high speed timers, if they are
ok together, or if any pitfalls might arise.
I'm planning to use mega8535 ~ 14.7Mhz.
Needing to provide 4 PWM outputs based on some 10 bit A/D readings( 4
point moving ave filtered). I also must use one of the ISR overflows
from a PWM timer to perform some sync bits for other timing signals I
generate overflows around the 27 uSec time frame.
Does anyone know if the frequent ISR Timer overflow calls screw up
the non ISR A/D readings?, should I possibly use the fast A/D and
consume a little more power?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Ray
