system occurs at the same time so that one of them has to wait for all others to complete
before it starts.)
The maximum response times shown below do not include the two unbounded events.
I/O Interrupt Block Performance and Sweep Impact Times
Note that the min, typical, and max response times include a 300 µs Input card filter time.
Dropped Interrupts
When multiple interrupts are triggered during the interrupt latency period, it is possible
that interrupt blocks will only be executed one time even though the interrupt trigger has
occurred more than once. The likelihood of this occurring will increase if the system
interrupt latency has increased due to the specific configuration and use of the system.
This will not cause the CPU to miss a given interrupt; just consolidate the number of times
an interrupt block is executed even though the interrupt stimulus had occurred more
than one time.
