19. General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM14)

This section applies to the whole STM32F4xx family, unless otherwise specified.

19.1 TIM9 to TIM14 introduction

The TIM9 to TIM14 general-purpose timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.

They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM).

Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.

The TIM9 to TIM14 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as described in Section 19.3.12 .

Figure 180. General-purpose timer block diagram (TIM9 and TIM12). The diagram shows the internal architecture of a general-purpose timer. At the top, an 'Internal clock (CK_INT)' is connected to a 'Trigger controller' and a 'Slave controller mode'. The 'Trigger controller' receives inputs from 'ITR0', 'ITR1', 'ITR2', 'ITR3', and 'TI1F_ED'. It outputs 'TRC' to the 'Slave controller mode' and 'TGI' to the 'CNT counter'. The 'Slave controller mode' outputs 'Reset, enable, up, count' to the 'CNT counter'. The 'CNT counter' is a 16-bit upcounter with 'U' (Update) and 'UI' (Update Interrupt) inputs. It is connected to an 'Auto-reload register' (with 'Stop, Clear' inputs) and two 'Capture/Compare' registers. The first 'Capture/Compare' register is connected to 'IC1' (Input Capture 1) and 'OC1' (Output Compare 1). The second 'Capture/Compare' register is connected to 'IC2' (Input Capture 2) and 'OC2' (Output Compare 2). 'IC1' and 'IC2' are connected to 'Input filter & edge detector' blocks for 'TIMx_CH1' and 'TIMx_CH2' respectively. These blocks also receive 'TI1FP1', 'TI1FP2', 'TI2FP1', and 'TI2FP2' inputs. The 'IC1' and 'IC2' signals are then processed by 'Prescaler' blocks ('IC1PS' and 'IC2PS') before entering the 'Capture/Compare' registers. The 'Capture/Compare' registers also receive 'CC11' and 'CC21' inputs. The 'OC1' and 'OC2' signals are processed by 'Output control' blocks to produce 'TIMx_CH1' and 'TIMx_CH2' outputs. A 'PSC prescaler' block receives 'CK_PSC' and 'CK_CNT' inputs and provides 'CC11' and 'CC21' inputs to the 'Capture/Compare' registers. A legend at the bottom left explains the symbols: 'Reg' for preload registers, 'Event' for a straight arrow, and 'Interrupt' for a curved arrow.

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of a general-purpose timer (TIM10/11/13/14). At the top, an 'Internal clock (CK_INT)' is connected to a 'Trigger Controller'. The 'Trigger Controller' has an 'Enable counter' output. Below it, a 'PSC prescaler' receives 'CK_PSC' and outputs 'CK_CNT' to a 'CNT counter'. The 'CNT counter' is also connected to an 'Autoreload register' which receives 'U' (update) and outputs 'UI' (update interrupt) and 'Stop, Clear' signals. The 'CNT counter' outputs 'CC11' to a 'Capture/Compare 1 register'. This register receives 'IC1PS' and outputs 'CC11' and 'OC1REF' to an 'output control' block. The 'output control' block outputs 'OC1' to the 'TIMx_CH1' pin. The 'TIMx_CH1' pin is also connected to an 'Input filter & edge detector' which outputs 'TI1' and 'TI1FP1' to a 'Prescaler'. The 'Prescaler' outputs 'IC1' to the 'Capture/Compare 1 register'. A 'Notes' box at the bottom right explains the symbols: 'Reg' for preload registers, a diagonal arrow for 'event', and a jagged arrow for 'interrupt & DMA output'. The identifier 'ai17725c' is in the bottom right corner.

19.3 TIM9 to TIM14 functional description

19.3.1 Time-base unit

The main block of the timer is a 16-bit counter with its related auto-reload register. The counter counts up.

The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.

The counter, the auto-reload register and the prescaler register can be written or read by software. This is true even when the counter is running.

The time-base unit includes:

The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the shadow register permanently or at each update event (UEV), depending on the auto-reload preload enable bit (ARPE) in TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter reaches the overflow and if the UDIS bit equals 0 in the TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. The generation of the update event is described in details for each configuration.

The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the counter enable bit (CEN) in TIMx_CR1 register is set (refer also to the slave mode controller description to get more details on counter enabling).

Note that the counter starts counting 1 clock cycle after setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.

Prescaler description

The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65536. It is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is taken into account at the next update event.

Figure 182 and Figure 183 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly.

Figure 182. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 2

Timing diagram for Figure 182 showing the relationship between CK_PSC, CEN, Timerclock, Counter register, Update event (UEV), Prescaler control register, Prescaler buffer, and Prescaler counter when the prescaler division changes from 1 to 2.

This timing diagram illustrates the behavior of a timer when the prescaler division is changed from 1 to 2. The signals shown are:

The diagram shows that after writing a new value (1) to the prescaler control register, the prescaler buffer updates its value to 1 upon the next update event. Consequently, the prescaler counter's counting sequence changes from a simple 0, 1 to 0, 1, 0, 1, effectively doubling the prescaler division from 1 to 2.

This timing diagram illustrates the behavior of a timer when the prescaler division is changed from 1 to 4. The signals shown are:

The diagram shows that after writing a new value (3) to the prescaler control register, the prescaler buffer updates its value to 3 upon the next update event. Consequently, the prescaler counter's counting sequence changes from a simple 0, 1 to 0, 1, 2, 3, effectively quadrupling the prescaler division from 1 to 4.

19.3.2 Counter modes

Upcounting mode

In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the TIMx_ARR register), then restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.

Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller on TIM9 and TIM12) also generates an update event.

The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This is to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0. However, the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt is sent). This is to avoid generating both update and capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the capture event.

When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):

The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

Figure 184. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 1

Timing diagram for upcounting mode. The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), counter enable (CNT_EN), timer clock (CK_CNT), counter register values, counter overflow, update event (UEV), and update interrupt flag (UIF).

The timing diagram illustrates the counter's behavior in upcounting mode. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a horizontal line that goes high to enable the counter. The third signal, Timerclock = CK_CNT, is a square wave that is active only when CNT_EN is high. The fourth signal shows the Counter register values, which increment from 31 to 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The fifth signal, Counter overflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 36 and returns low when it reaches 00. The sixth signal, Update event (UEV), is a pulse that goes high at the same time as the counter overflow. The bottom signal, Update interrupt flag (UIF), is a pulse that goes high at the same time as the counter overflow and returns low when the counter reaches 00. The diagram is labeled MS31078V3 in the bottom right corner.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer when the internal clock is divided by 2. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is shown as a high-level signal. The Timerclock (CK_CNT) is derived from CK_PSC and has half the frequency. The Counter register starts at 0034, increments to 0035 and 0036, then overflows to 0000 and continues to 0001, 0002, and 0003. A 'Counter overflow' pulse occurs at the transition from 0036 to 0000. The 'Update event (UEV)' and 'Update interrupt flag (UIF)' are shown as pulses that coincide with the counter overflow. The diagram is labeled MS31079V3.

This timing diagram shows the timer operation with an internal clock division of 4. CK_PSC is the base clock. CNT_EN is high. The Timerclock (CK_CNT) has one-quarter the frequency of CK_PSC. The Counter register values shown are 0035, 0036, 0000, and 0001. The overflow and update events (UEV and UIF) occur when the counter rolls over from 0036 to 0000. The diagram is labeled MS31080V3.

19.3.3 Clock selection

The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:

Internal clock source (CK_INT)

The internal clock source is the default clock source for TIM10/TIM11 and TIM13/TIM14.

For TIM9 and TIM12, the internal clock source is selected when the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS='000'). The CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register and the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register are then used as control bits and can be changed only by software (except for UG which remains cleared). As soon as the CEN bit is programmed to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.

Figure 190 shows the behavior of the control circuit and of the upcounter in normal mode, without prescaler.

External clock source mode 1(TIM9 and TIM12)

This mode is selected when SMS='111' in the TIMx_SMCR register. The counter can count at each rising or falling edge on a selected input.

Figure 191. TI2 external clock connection example

Figure 191: TI2 external clock connection example. This block diagram shows the internal logic for configuring the TI2 input as an external clock source. The TI2 pin is connected to a 'Filter' block, which is controlled by the ICF[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. The output of the filter goes to an 'Edge detector' block. The edge detector has two outputs: 'TI2F_Rising' and 'TI2F_Falling'. These are connected to a multiplexer (MUX) labeled 'CC2P' in the TIMx_CCER register. The MUX selects between the rising and falling edges based on the CC2P bit setting. The selected edge signal is then connected to a trigger input (TRGI) of a counter. The TRGI input is also controlled by the TIMx_SMCR register, specifically the TS[2:0] bits, which can be set to '110' to select TI2 as the trigger source. The counter's clock input (CK_PSC) is connected to the 'External clock mode 1' block, which is also controlled by the SMS[2:0] bits in the TIMx_SMCR register. The internal clock (CK_INT) is also available as an alternative clock source.
Figure 191: TI2 external clock connection example. This block diagram shows the internal logic for configuring the TI2 input as an external clock source. The TI2 pin is connected to a 'Filter' block, which is controlled by the ICF[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. The output of the filter goes to an 'Edge detector' block. The edge detector has two outputs: 'TI2F_Rising' and 'TI2F_Falling'. These are connected to a multiplexer (MUX) labeled 'CC2P' in the TIMx_CCER register. The MUX selects between the rising and falling edges based on the CC2P bit setting. The selected edge signal is then connected to a trigger input (TRGI) of a counter. The TRGI input is also controlled by the TIMx_SMCR register, specifically the TS[2:0] bits, which can be set to '110' to select TI2 as the trigger source. The counter's clock input (CK_PSC) is connected to the 'External clock mode 1' block, which is also controlled by the SMS[2:0] bits in the TIMx_SMCR register. The internal clock (CK_INT) is also available as an alternative clock source.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2 input, use the following procedure:

  1. 1. Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  2. 2. Configure the input filter duration by writing the IC2F[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (if no filter is needed, keep IC2F='0000').
  3. 3. Select the rising edge polarity by writing CC2P='0' and CC2NP='0' in the TIMx_CCER register.
  4. 4. Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS='111' in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  5. 5. Select TI2 as the trigger input source by writing TS='110' in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  6. 6. Enable the counter by writing CEN='1' in the TIMx_CR1 register.

Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so no need to configure it.

When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the TIF flag is set.

The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

Figure 192. Control circuit in external clock mode 1

Figure 192: Control circuit in external clock mode 1. This timing diagram illustrates the relationship between the TI2 input, counter enable (CNT_EN), counter clock (CK_CNT = CK_PSC), counter register values, and the TIF flag. The TI2 input shows a series of pulses. The CNT_EN signal is shown as a high-level signal. The counter clock (CK_CNT = CK_PSC) is a periodic signal that toggles on the rising edges of the TI2 input. The counter register values are shown as 34, 35, and 36, with each value corresponding to a rising edge of the TI2 input. The TIF flag is shown as a signal that goes high when a rising edge occurs on TI2 and is then cleared by writing TIF = 0.

19.3.4 Capture/compare channels

Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a shadow register), a input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler) and an output stage (with comparator and output control).

Figure 193 to Figure 195 give an overview of a capture/compare channel.

The input stage samples the corresponding TIx input to generate a filtered signal TIxF. Then, an edge detector with polarity selection generates a signal (TIxFPx) which can be used as trigger input by the slave mode controller or as the capture command. It is prescaled before the capture register (ICxPS).

The diagram shows the signal flow from the TI1 input through a filter downcounter, edge detector, and multiplexers to the slave mode controller and the IC1 prescaler. Control signals from TIMx_CCMR1 and TIMx_CCER registers are used to configure the input stage.

The diagram illustrates the input stage of a capture/compare channel (example: channel 1). The signal flow is as follows:

The output stage generates an intermediate waveform which is then used for reference: OCxRef (active high). The polarity acts at the end of the chain.

Figure 194. Capture/compare channel 1 main circuit diagram. This block diagram shows the internal logic of a capture/compare channel. At the top, an APB Bus connects to an MCU-peripheral interface. This interface has 8-bit high and low data paths to a 'Capture/compare preload register'. The preload register is connected to a 'Capture/compare shadow register' via a 'compare_transfer' signal. The shadow register is connected to a 'Counter' and a 'Comparator'. The Comparator outputs 'CNT>CCR1' and 'CNT=CCR1' signals. The Counter also provides input to the Comparator. On the left, 'Input mode' logic includes an OR gate for 'CC1S[1]' and 'CC1S[0]', an AND gate for 'IC1PS' and 'CC1E', and an OR gate for 'CC1G' and 'TIMx_EGR'. These signals control a 'Capture' signal to the shadow register. 'Read CCR1H' and 'Read CCR1L' signals are connected to a latch with 'read_in_progress' output. On the right, 'Output mode' logic includes an OR gate for 'CC1S[1]' and 'CC1S[0]', an AND gate for 'OC1PE' and 'UEV (from time base unit)', and an OR gate for 'write CCR1H' and 'write CCR1L' (latched with 'write_in_progress'). These signals control the 'OC1' output via an 'Output enable circuit'. A multiplexer selects between 'CNT > CCR2' and 'CNT = CCR2' signals to drive the 'OC1_REF' line, which is also connected to the 'To the master mode controller'.

It starts with 'CNT > CCR2' and 'CNT = CCR2' signals entering an 'Output mode controller'. The controller also receives 'OC2M[2:0]' from 'TIMx_CCMR1'. The output of the controller is 'OC1_REF', which is connected to 'To the master mode controller'. 'OC1_REF' passes through an inverter and a multiplexer. The multiplexer selects between '0' and '1' based on the 'CC1P' signal from 'TIMx_CCER'. The output of the multiplexer goes to an 'Output enable circuit', which also receives 'CC1E' from 'TIMx_CCER'. The final output is 'OC1'.

The capture/compare block is made of one preload register and one shadow register. Write and read always access the preload register.

In capture mode, captures are actually done in the shadow register, which is copied into the preload register.

In compare mode, the content of the preload register is copied into the shadow register which is compared to the counter.

In Input capture mode, the Capture/Compare registers (TIMx_CCRx) are used to latch the value of the counter after a transition detected by the corresponding ICx signal. When a capture occurs, the corresponding CCxIF flag (TIMx_SR register) is set and an interrupt or a DMA request can be sent if they are enabled. If a capture occurs while the CCxIF flag was already high, then the over-capture flag CCxOF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CCxIF can be

cleared by software by writing it to '0' or by reading the captured data stored in the TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when the user writes it to '0'.

The following example shows how to capture the counter value in TIMx_CCR1 when TI1 input rises. To do this, use the following procedure:

  1. 1. Select the active input: TIMx_CCR1 must be linked to the TI1 input, so write the CC1S bits to '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. As soon as CC1S becomes different from '00', the channel is configured in input mode and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes read-only.
  2. 2. Program the needed input filter duration with respect to the signal connected to the timer (by programming the ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register if the input is one of the TIx inputs). Let us imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at least five internal clock cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these 5 clock cycles. We can validate a transition on TI1 when eight consecutive samples with the new level have been detected (sampled at \( f_{DTS} \) frequency). Then write IC1F bits to '0011' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  3. 3. Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by programming CC1P and CC1NP bits to '00' in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).
  4. 4. Program the input prescaler. In our example, we wish the capture to be performed at each valid transition, so the prescaler is disabled (write IC1PS bits to '00' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register).
  5. 5. Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the TIMx_CCER register.
  6. 6. If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the TIMx_DIER register.

When an input capture occurs:

In order to handle the overcapture, it is recommended to read the data before the overcapture flag. This is to avoid missing an overcapture which could happen after reading the flag and before reading the data.

Note: IC interrupt requests can be generated by software by setting the corresponding CCxG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.

19.3.6 PWM input mode (only for TIM9/12)

This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:

For example, the user can measure the period (in TIMx_CCR1 register) and the duty cycle (in TIMx_CCR2 register) of the PWM applied on TI1 using the following procedure (depending on CK_INT frequency and prescaler value):

  1. 1. Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
  2. 2. Select the active polarity for TI1FP1 (used both for capture in TIMx_CCR1 and counter clear): program the CC1P and CC1NP bits to '00' (active on rising edge).
  3. 3. Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to '10' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
  4. 4. Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): write the CC2P bit to '1' and the CC2NP bit to '0' (active on falling edge).
  5. 5. Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to '101' in the TIMx_SMCR register (TI1FP1 selected).
  6. 6. Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to '100' in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  7. 7. Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to '1' in the TIMx_CCER register.

Figure 196. PWM input mode timing

Timing diagram for PWM input mode. It shows four waveforms: TI1 (PWM signal), TIMx_CNT (counter values), TIMx_CCR1 (capture register 1), and TIMx_CCR2 (capture register 2). The TI1 signal is a PWM signal. The TIMx_CNT register shows values 0004, 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0000. The TIMx_CCR1 register shows 0004. The TIMx_CCR2 register shows 0002. Arrows indicate capture events: IC1 capture, IC2 capture, reset counter at the first rising edge; IC2 capture, period measurement at the first falling edge; and IC1 capture, period measurement at the second rising edge.

The diagram illustrates the timing for PWM input mode. The top waveform is the TI1 input signal, which is a PWM signal. Below it, the TIMx_CNT register shows a sequence of values: 0004, 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0000. The TIMx_CCR1 register contains the value 0004, and the TIMx_CCR2 register contains the value 0002. Arrows indicate capture events: at the first rising edge of TI1, IC1 capture, IC2 capture, and counter reset occur; at the first falling edge, IC2 capture and period measurement occur; at the second rising edge, IC1 capture and period measurement occur.

  1. 1. The PWM input mode can be used only with the TIMx_CH1/TIMx_CH2 signals due to the fact that only TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 are connected to the slave mode controller.

19.3.7 Forced output mode

In output mode (CCxS bits = '00' in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal (OCxREF and then OCx) can be forced to active or inactive level directly by software, independently of any comparison between the output compare register and the counter.

To force an output compare signal (OCxREF/OCx) to its active level, the user just needs to write '101' in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus OCxREF is forced high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx get opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.

For example: CCxP='0' (OCx active high) => OCx is forced to high level.

The OCxREF signal can be forced low by writing the OCxM bits to '100' in the TIMx_CCMRx register.

Anyway, the comparison between the TIMx_CCRx shadow register and the counter is still performed and allows the flag to be set. Interrupt requests can be sent accordingly. This is described in the output compare mode section below.

19.3.8 Output compare mode

This function is used to control an output waveform or indicating when a period of time has elapsed.

When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output compare function:

  1. 1. Assigns the corresponding output pin to a programmable value defined by the output compare mode (OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register) and the output polarity (CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register). The output pin can keep its level (OCxM='000'), be set active (OCxM='001'), be set inactive (OCxM='010') or can toggle (OCxM='011') on match.
  2. 2. Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).
  3. 3. Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCxIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register).

The TIMx_CCRx registers can be programmed with or without preload registers using the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register.

In output compare mode, the update event UEV has no effect on OCxREF and OCx output. The timing resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to output a single pulse (in One-pulse mode).

Procedure:

  1. 1. Select the counter clock (internal, external, prescaler).
  2. 2. Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.
  3. 3. Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.
  4. 4. Select the output mode. For example:
    • – Write OCxM = '011' to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx
    • – Write OCxPE = '0' to disable preload register
    • – Write CCxP = '0' to select active high polarity
    • – Write CCxE = '1' to enable the output
  5. 5. Enable the counter by setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The TIMx_CCRx register can be updated at any time by software to control the output waveform, provided that the preload register is not enabled (OCxPE='0', else TIMx_CCRx shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in Figure 197 .

Figure 197. Output compare mode, toggle on OC1.

Timing diagram for Output compare mode, toggle on OC1. The diagram shows three horizontal timelines: TIM1_CNT, TIM1_CCR1, and OC1REF=OC1. TIM1_CNT starts at 0039, increments through 003A, 003B, and reaches B200, B201. TIM1_CCR1 is initially 003A and is updated to B201 by writing B201h in the CC1R register. OC1REF=OC1 is a signal that toggles state at the match points (003A and B201). Arrows from the match points on the TIM1_CNT timeline point to the text 'Match detected on CCR1 Interrupt generated if enabled'. A small code MS31092V2 is in the bottom right corner.

19.3.9 PWM mode

Pulse Width Modulation mode allows the user to generate a signal with a frequency determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the TIMx_CCRx register.

The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCx output) by writing '110' (PWM mode 1) or '111' (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register. Enable the corresponding preload register by setting the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register by setting the ARPE bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.

As the preload registers are transferred to the shadow registers only when an update event occurs, before starting the counter, the user has to initialize all the registers by setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.

The OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It can be programmed as active high or active low. The OCx output is enabled by the CCxE bit in the TIMx_CCER register. Refer to the TIMx_CCERx register description for more details.

In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine whether \( TIMx\_CNT \leq TIMx\_CCRx \) .

The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode only since the counter is upcounting.

PWM edge-aligned mode

In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is high as long as \( TIMx\_CNT < TIMx\_CCRx \) else it becomes low. If the compare value in

TIMx_CCRx is greater than the auto-reload value (in TIMx_ARR) then OCxREF is held at '1'. If the compare value is 0 then OCxRef is held at '0'. Figure 198 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

Figure 198. Edge-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)

The diagram illustrates the relationship between the counter register values and the resulting OCxREF and CCxIF signals for different compare register (CCR) values. The counter register sequence is shown at the top: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 0, 1. Vertical dashed lines indicate the transitions between these counter values.

Timing diagram showing edge-aligned PWM waveforms for different CCRx values (4, 8, >8, 0) relative to a counter register sequence (0-8, 0-1).

19.3.10 One-pulse mode

One-pulse mode (OPM) is a particular case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length after a programmable delay.

Starting the counter can be controlled through the slave mode controller. Generating the waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. Select One-pulse mode by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically at the next update event UEV.

A pulse can be correctly generated only if the compare value is different from the counter initial value. Before starting (when the timer is waiting for the trigger), the configuration must be as follows:

\[ \text{CNT} < \text{CCRx} \leq \text{ARR} \text{ (in particular, } 0 < \text{CCRx)} \]

Figure 199. Example of one pulse mode.

Timing diagram for one pulse mode. The diagram shows four waveforms over time (t). 1. TI2: A signal that goes high for a short duration. 2. OC1REF: A signal that is initially high, then goes low when the counter reaches TIM1_CCR1, and then goes high again when the counter reaches TIM1_ARR. 3. OC1: A signal that is initially low, then goes high when the counter reaches TIM1_CCR1, and then goes low again when the counter reaches TIM1_ARR. 4. Counter: A sawtooth-like waveform that starts at 0 and increases in steps until it reaches TIM1_ARR, at which point it resets to 0. The time interval from the rising edge of TI2 to the rising edge of OC1REF is labeled t_DELAY. The time interval from the rising edge of OC1REF to the falling edge of OC1 is labeled t_PULSE. The diagram is labeled MS31099V1 in the bottom right corner.

The diagram is labeled MS31099V1 in the bottom right corner.

For example the user may want to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of \( t_{PULSE} \) and after a delay of \( t_{DELAY} \) as soon as a positive edge is detected on the TI2 input pin.

Use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:

  1. 1. Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S='01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  2. 2. TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P='0' and CC2NP = '0' in the TIMx_CCER register.
  3. 3. Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS='110' in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  4. 4. TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to '110' in the TIMx_SMCR register (trigger mode).

The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the clock frequency and the counter prescaler).

The user only wants one pulse (Single mode), so write '1' in the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register to stop the counter at the next update event (when the counter rolls over from the auto-reload value back to 0). When OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set to '0', so the Repetitive mode is selected.

Particular case: OCx fast enable

In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the minimum delay \( t_{\text{DELAY min}} \) we can get.

If the user wants to output a waveform with the minimum delay, set the OCxFE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) are forced in response to the stimulus, without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

19.3.11 TIM9/12 external trigger synchronization

The TIM9/12 timers can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset mode, Gated mode and Trigger mode.

Slave mode: Reset mode

The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input. Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIMx_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIMx_ARR, TIMx_CCRx) are updated.

In the following example, the upcounter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:

  1. 1. Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, no need of any filter, IC1F = 0000 kept). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so there's no need to configure it. The CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S = '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Program CC1P and CC1NP to '00' in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edges only).
  2. 2. Configure the timer in reset mode by writing SMS='100' in TIMx_SMCR register. Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS='101' in TIMx_SMCR register.
  3. 3. Start the counter by writing CEN='1' in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until TI1 rising edge. When TI1 rises, the counter is cleared and restarts from 0. In the meantime, the trigger flag is set (TIF bit in the TIMx_SR register) and an interrupt request can be sent if enabled (depending on the TIE bit in TIMx_DIER register).

The following figure shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR=0x36. The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

Figure 200. Control circuit in reset mode

Timing diagram for Figure 200. Control circuit in reset mode. The diagram shows five signals over time: TI1 (top), UG, Counter clock = ck_cnt = ck_psc, Counter register, and TIF (bottom). TI1 starts high, goes low, then high again. UG is a pulse that goes high when TI1 is high. Counter clock is a periodic square wave. Counter register shows values: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 00, 01, 02, 03. TIF is a pulse that goes high when TI1 is high and counter is at 03, and goes low when TI1 is low.

The timing diagram illustrates the control circuit in reset mode. The signals shown are:

Slave mode: Gated mode

The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.

In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:

  1. 1. Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, no need of any filter, IC1F='0000' kept). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so there's no need to configure it. The CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S='01' in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Program CC1P='1' and CC1NP= '0' in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).
  2. 2. Configure the timer in gated mode by writing SMS='101' in TIMx_SMCR register. Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS='101' in TIMx_SMCR register.
  3. 3. Enable the counter by writing CEN='1' in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the counter does not start if CEN='0', whatever is the trigger input level).

The counter starts counting on the internal clock as long as TI1 is low and stops as soon as TI1 becomes high. The TIF flag in the TIMx_SR register is set both when the counter starts or stops.

The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual stop of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.

Figure 201. Control circuit in gated mode

Timing diagram for Figure 201: Control circuit in gated mode. The diagram shows five signals over time: TI1, cnt_en, Counter clock (ck_cnt = ck_psc), Counter register, and TIF. TI1 is a signal that goes high and then low. cnt_en is the output of an AND gate with inputs TI1 and Counter clock. Counter clock is a periodic square wave. Counter register shows values 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. The counter increments only when cnt_en is high. TIF is a flag that is set when the counter overflows from 34 to 35 and is reset by writing TIF=0.

TIF is a flag that is set when the counter overflows from 34 to 35 and is reset by writing TIF=0.

Slave mode: Trigger mode

The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.

In the following example, the upcounter starts in response to a rising edge on TI2 input:

  1. 1. Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, no need of any filter, IC2F='0000' kept). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so there's no need to configure it. The CC2S bits are configured to select the input capture source only, CC2S='01' in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Program CC2P='1' and CC2NP='0' in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).
  2. 2. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS='110' in TIMx_SMCR register. Select TI2 as the input source by writing TS='110' in TIMx_SMCR register.

When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the TIF flag is set.

The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual start of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.

19.3.12 Timer synchronization (TIM9/12)

The TIM timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. Refer to Section 18.3.15: Timer synchronization for details.

Note: The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

19.3.13 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters debug mode (Cortex ® -M4 with FPU core halted), the TIMx counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_TIMx_STOP configuration bit in DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 38.16.2: Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I 2 C .

19.4 TIM9 and TIM12 registers

Refer to Section 2.2 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.

The peripheral registers have to be written by half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits). Read accesses can be done by bytes (8 bits), half-words (16 bits) or words (32 bits).

Note: These bits must be changed only when they are not used (e.g. when SMS='000') to avoid wrong edge detections at the transition.

Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 2:0 SMS : Slave mode selection

When external signals are selected, the active edge of the trigger signal (TRGI) is linked to the polarity selected on the external input (see Input control register and Control register descriptions).

000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = 1 then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal clock

001: Reserved

010: Reserved

011: Reserved

100: Reset mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter and generates an update of the registers

101: Gated mode - The counter clock is enabled when the trigger input (TRGI) is high. The counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger becomes low. Counter starts and stops are both controlled

110: Trigger mode - The counter starts on a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but it is not reset). Only the start of the counter is controlled

111: External clock mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter

Note: The Gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input (TS='100'). Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the Gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.

Note: The clock of the slave timer must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

01: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI2

10: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TI1

11: CC2 channel is configured as input, IC2 is mapped on TRC. This mode works only if an internal trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)

Note: The CC2S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC2E = 0 in TIMx_CCER).

Bit 7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 6:4 OC1M : Output compare 1 mode

These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 and OC1N are derived. OC1REF is active high whereas the active levels of OC1 and OC1N depend on the CC1P and CC1NP bits, respectively.

000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs. (this mode is used to generate a timing base).

001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced high when the TIMx_CNT counter matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).

010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. The OC1REF signal is forced low when the TIMx_CNT counter matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).

011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1

100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low

101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high

110: PWM mode 1 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1 else it is inactive. In downcounting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF='0') as long as TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1, else it is active (OC1REF='1')

111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT<TIMx_CCR1 else it is active. In downcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT>TIMx_CCR1 else it is inactive.

Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes only when the result of the comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from “frozen” mode to “PWM” mode.

Bit 3 OC1PE : Output compare 1 preload enable

0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the new value is taken into account immediately

1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded into the active register at each update event

Bit 2 OC1FE : Output compare 1 fast enable

This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.

0: CC1 behaves normally depending on the counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is ON. The minimum delay to activate the CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input is 5 clock cycles

1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on the CC1 output. Then, OC is set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

If channel CC1 is configured as output:

This flag is set by hardware when the counter matches the compare value. It is cleared by software.

0: No match.

1: The content of the counter TIMx_CNT matches the content of the TIMx_CCR1 register. When the contents of TIMx_CCR1 are greater than the contents of TIMx_ARR, the CC1IF bit goes high on the counter overflow.

If channel CC1 is configured as input:

This bit is set by hardware on a capture. It is cleared by software or by reading the TIMx_CCR1 register.

0: No input capture occurred.

1: The counter value has been captured in TIMx_CCR1 register (an edge has been detected on IC1 which matches the selected polarity).

Bit 0 UIF : Update interrupt flag

This bit is set by hardware on an update event. It is cleared by software.

0: No update occurred.

1: Update interrupt pending. This bit is set by hardware when the registers are updated:

Bit 1 CC1G : Capture/compare 1 generation

This bit is set by software in order to generate an event, it is automatically cleared by hardware.

0: No action

1: A capture/compare event is generated on channel 1:

If channel CC1 is configured as output:

CC1IF flag is set, Corresponding interrupt or is sent if enabled.

If channel CC1 is configured as input:

The current value of the counter is captured in TIMx_CCR1 register. The CC1IF flag is set, the corresponding interrupt is sent if enabled. The CC1OF flag is set if the CC1IF flag was already high.

Bit 0 UG : Update generation

This bit can be set by software, it is automatically cleared by hardware.

0: No action

1: Re-initialize the counter and generates an update of the registers. Note that the prescaler counter is cleared too (anyway the prescaler ratio is not affected). The counter is cleared.

19.5.5 TIM10/11/13/14 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)

Address offset: 0x18

Reset value: 0x0000

The channels can be used in input (capture mode) or in output (compare mode). The direction of a channel is defined by configuring the corresponding CCxS bits. All the other bits of this register have a different function in input and in output mode. For a given bit, OCxx describes its function when the channel is configured in output, ICxx describes its function when the channel is configured in input. So take care that the same bit can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Output compare mode

Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 6:4 OC1M : Output compare 1 mode

These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal OC1REF from which OC1 is derived. OC1REF is active high whereas OC1 active level depends on CC1P bit.

000: Frozen. The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.

001: Set channel 1 to active level on match. OC1REF signal is forced high when the counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).

010: Set channel 1 to inactive level on match. OC1REF signal is forced low when the counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).

011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT = TIMx_CCR1.

100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.

101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high.

110: PWM mode 1 - Channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else inactive.

111: PWM mode 2 - Channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else active.

Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OCREF level changes when the result of the comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from frozen to PWM mode.

Bit 3 OC1PE : Output compare 1 preload enable

0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the new value is taken in account immediately.

1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/Write operations access the preload register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.

Bit 2 OC1FE : Output compare 1 fast enable

This bit is used to accelerate the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the CC output.

0: CC1 behaves normally depending on counter and CCR1 values even when the trigger is ON. The minimum delay to activate CC1 output when an edge occurs on the trigger input is 5 clock cycles.

1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. OC is then set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OC1FE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
