what is the shortest pulse width that the Raspberry Pi 3 B GPIO interrupt pins can detect?

Does anybody know what is the shortest pulse width that the Raspberry Pi 3 B GPIO interrupt pins can detect?
I don't see that information in BCM2837 datasheet...

Thank you and best regards

No idea. Almost certainly shorter than the shortest pulse you can generate. Given the clock rates it must be down to a nanosecond or 2.

I'm curious, what high speed thing to you want to get interrupts from?

In theory, a pulse wider than 3 system bus clocks will be detected (assume the bus clock is 250MHz), so pulses wider than 12ns should trigger an interrupt and latch the event detect register(s).

Driving these pulses reliably so you only get a single event is another matter - if the input voltage bounces around due to stray loop inductance then the event will be retriggered for as long as the ringing passes the pin's VIH/VIL.

Many thanks both for your replies.
Indeed I'm starting with python programming as well as in the raspberry pi and wondering about the shortest pulse width possible when searching for information about interrupts on the RPi.

Using Python means a lot of extra code between you and the hardware - you won't be able to get near the figures above with it.

So I must use C?

We don't know what you want to do. You need to explain what you are trying to achieve.
