35.1 How to read this chapter
The RIT is available on all LPC43xx/LPC43Sxx parts.
35.2 Basic configuration
The RIT is configured as follows:
•
See
for clocking and power control.
•
The RIT is reset by the RITIMER_RST (reset #36).
•
The RIT interrupt is connected to slot # 11 in the NVIC.
35.3 Features
•
32-bit counter running from BASE_M4_CLK. Counter can be free-running, or be reset
by a generated interrupt.
•
32-bit compare value.
•
32-bit compare mask. An interrupt is generated when the counter value equals the
compare value after masking. This allows for combinations not possible with a simple
compare.
35.4 General description
The Repetitive Interrupt Timer (RIT) provides a versatile means of generating interrupts at
specified time intervals, without using a standard timer. It is intended for repeating
interrupts that aren’t related to Operating System interrupts. The RIT could also be used
as an alternative to the Cortex-M4 System Tick Timer if there are different system
requirements.
