Interrupt tail latency lab

Profile ISR chains that steal time from motor control loops.

Cover visual for Interrupt tail latency lab

Duration

11 business days

Format

On-site lab (Seoul)

Investment

₩9,200,000

Platform

ThreadX

Scope

We instrument worst-case ISR stacks, quantify tail latency, and propose coalescing patterns compatible with your safety story.

Included analyses

  • GPIO vs DMA trigger comparison
  • NVIC priority map with rationale
  • FPU context save audit
  • Motor PWM blanking window review
  • Deferred bottom-half redesign sketches

Outcomes you can publish internally

  1. Tail latency histogram pack
  2. NVIC change list with rollback
  3. Bench harness for CI smoke

FAQ

Hardware needed?

Two DUTs, logic analyzer, and safe mechanical limits for spin tests.

Functional safety?

We align with your existing hazard analysis; we do not replace it.

Noise concerns?

Shielding and grounding review is advisory only.

Experience notes

“They surfaced an SPI ISR that collided with our FOC loop—specific and actionable.”
