Hi there, I'm using nrf51822 timer1 as the timer for some time-critical task, and I'd like to ask two questions about it: What's the precision of Timer1 if the internal 256K clock is used? If some instructions need to be executed in the interrupt handler of timer1, will this impact the precision? Any feedback will be really appreciated. Thanks, Stanley

Precision of TIMER1

Hi there,

I'm using nrf51822 timer1 as the timer for some time-critical task, and I'd like to ask two questions about it:

What's the precision of Timer1 if the internal 256K clock is used?
If some instructions need to be executed in the interrupt handler of timer1, will this impact the precision?

Any feedback will be really appreciated.

Thanks, Stanley
