Thanks,
Wayne

Hello Wayne,

PIC24's can run up to 32MIPs and dsPIC33's can run up to 40MIPs.

So a PIC24 running flat out has 32 instructions every 1us.

A dsPIC33 running flat out has 40 instructions every 1us.

So if you keep your interrupt code fairly short eg just setting a flag or incrementing a variable then you should be ok.
