First question asked Welcome!

I have laser sensor. I want to detect pulse signals below 10ns with MCU. What criteria are important for the MCU to detect this signal? e.g Instruction cycle speed, Clock speed or GPIO speed... Which one? or what is important?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @SnowranCruzick,

High clock frequency reduces the instruction execution time and it depends on the MCU. Please configure an interrupt source to detect the pulse. Please let us know if there is any query particular to Infineon MCU.

 

Thank you!

 

Best regards,
