Tom,

You are right but how to get it closer?

Andre, you have some interesting numbers here.

You don't like the error from this:
46.25us * 360 = 0.016650000 ; reciprocal = 60.060060060

when you say you want this:
46.27us * 360 = 0.016657200 ; reciprocal = 60.034099368

but this seems like this might be closer:
46.296296us * 360 = 0.016666666667 ; reciprocal = 60.00000000

*If* you are trying to produce 60.00000 Hz, it *looks* like 46.27us is
not
the correct value either.  Of course, there is probably plenty we don't
know about what you are trying to do.  I was suspicious of round off
error
when you called out 16.66 ms in your last email.

Just curious.
Tom
