Timer1 uses the interval clock with 1:64 prescaling. The microcontroller uses primary oscillator with frequency 2.875 MHz as the clock source. it also utilizes PLL. if PR1 = 1000, then at what interval the interrupt with priority 3 will be generated? show your work.

To calculate the interval at which the interrupt with priority 3 will be generated, we need to determine the total time period of each timer tick.

First, let's calculate the frequency of the interval clock with 1:64 prescaling:
Interval Clock Frequency = Fosc / (prescaler value)
Interval Clock Frequency = 2.875 MHz / 64
Interval Clock Frequency = 44.92 kHz

Next, let's calculate the time period of each timer tick:
Time Period = 1 / Interval Clock Frequency
Time Period = 1 / (44.92 kHz)
Time Period = 22.28 microseconds

Since PR1 (the period register) is set to 1000, the total time period required for 1000 timer ticks will be:
Total Time Period = Time Period × PR1
Total Time Period = 22.28 μs × 1000
Total Time Period = 22.28 ms

Therefore, the interrupt with priority 3 will be generated every 22.28 milliseconds.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's recalculate the interval correctly.

Given information:
- Primary oscillator frequency (Fosc): 2.875 MHz
- PLL multiplication factor: Not provided

First, determine the effective clock frequency (Fcyc) after the PLL:
- Assuming a default PLL multiplication factor of 4, Fcyc = Fosc x PLL multiplication factor = 2.875 MHz x 4 = 11.5 MHz

Next, calculate the input frequency to Timer1 module:
- The prescaler value is 1:64
- Interval Clock Frequency = Fcyc / Prescaler = 11.5 MHz / 64 = 179,687.5 Hz

Now, let's calculate the time period of each timer tick:
- Time Period = 1 / Interval Clock Frequency = 1 / (179,687.5 Hz) ≈ 5.557 μs

Since PR1 (the period register) is set to 1000, the total time period required for 1000 timer ticks will be:
- Total Time Period = Time Period x PR1 = 5.557 μs x 1000 = 5.557 ms

Therefore, the interrupt with priority 3 will be generated every 5.557 milliseconds.

Apologies again for the previous incorrect response.

Apologies for the confusion caused earlier. Let's recalculate the interval more accurately.

Given information:
- Primary oscillator frequency (Fosc): 2.875 MHz
- PLL multiplication factor: Not provided

To determine the frequency of the interval clock with 1:64 prescaling, we need to consider the effective clock frequency after the PLL.

First, let's calculate the effective clock frequency (Fcyc) after the PLL:
- Assuming a default PLL multiplication factor of 4, Fcyc = Fosc x PLL multiplication factor = 2.875 MHz x 4 = 11.5 MHz

Next, calculate the interval clock frequency:
- The prescaler value is 1:64
- Interval Clock Frequency = Fcyc / Prescaler = 11.5 MHz / 64 = 179,687.5 Hz

Now, let's calculate the time period of each timer tick:
- Time Period = 1 / Interval Clock Frequency = 1 / (179,687.5 Hz) ≈ 5.557 μs

Since PR1 (the period register) is set to 1000, the total time period required for 1000 timer ticks will be:
- Total Time Period = Time Period x PR1 = 5.557 μs x 1000 = 5.557 ms

Therefore, the interrupt with priority 3 will be generated every 5.557 milliseconds.

I apologize for any confusion caused earlier. This calculation should be more accurate.
