This program implements an interpolator used for the compensation of frequency drifts. The technique is based on a first-order recursive filter. There is one input parameter to set the amount of drift to be compensated for. The amount of drift is usually in the range of few percent down to few ppm.

 

The code is written in fixed-point C using 16x16=32bits arithmetics. When ported on CortexM4 (LPC54x from NXP running at 12MHz without memory wait-states) the code is processing one sample every 18 cycles. This number is obtained without the need to optimize the critical loops in assembly language.
