I'm having a few problems with spurious timer values being reported by the input captures on my HC11A1FN (EVB). The chip is set up so that output compare 1 triggers the three input captures at varying times. The IC value are then copied out into RAM. The problem is this: when the IC triggering is very close to the OC1 switching, the IC values (in one of the 3 ICs anyway,) don't change. i.e.: (see the drawing below:) ________ _______ OC1 (active low pulse): |_| ICx input ________________ ____ (triggering on falling edge: |_| ICx triggered at point T: .................T..... Difference in times: |-- d --| When <d> becomes very small, the value from the input capture being tested 'freezes'; it stops at a value and doesn't change. It seems to work fine when <d> is fairly long, and <d> is different for each input capture. Is the chip stuffed? (worst fears :-< ) or is there something else not quite as serious that I've overlooked ( :-| ) Any help PLEASE!!! Geoff Thomas
