6.7.2.2 Computation of Worst-case Latency With Variables
Worst-case latency calculations assume that the longest 8XC251Sx instruction used in the pro-
gram must fully execute prior to a context switch. The instruction execution time is reduced by
one state with the assumption the instruction state overlaps the request state (therefore, 16-bit
DIV is 21 state times - 1 = 20 states for latency calculations). The calculations add fixed and vari-
able interrupt times (see Table 6-6) to this instruction time to predict latency. The worst-case la-
tency (both fixed and variable times included) is expressed by a pseudo-formula:
