Hi
Either grab a math pack (there are several for the PIC) or go to C.
Timing at the Time Nuts level is about precision. We need *lots* of digits past
the binary point :)
Indeed. Throwing bits at the problems is relatively cheap today.
Besides, you don't process it that often, so you can afford to let a few
cycles bring you design margin.
Remember, you want the internal resolution to have many bits below the
single-shot resolution. Lack of bits in frequency resolution tends to
get you doing bang-bang regulations to approximate the frequency. With
sufficient resolution other noise sources will assist to average out
that quantization step. The bang-bang regulations naturally give you an
idle-frequency, and both frequency and amplitude depends on the
quantization step.
