23. Basic timers (TIM6)

23.1 TIM6 introduction

The basic timer TIM6 consists of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.

They may be used as generic timers for time base generation but they are also specifically used to drive the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). In fact, the timers are internally connected to the DAC and are able to drive it through their trigger outputs.

The timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources.

23.2 TIM6 main features

Basic timer (TIM6) features include:

• 16-bit auto-reload upcounter
• 16-bit programmable prescaler used to divide (also “on the fly”) the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and 65535
• Synchronization circuit to trigger the DAC
• Interrupt/DMA generation on the update event: counter overflow

Figure 271. Basic timer block diagram

The block diagram shows the internal logic of the TIM6 timer. The 'TIMxCLK from RCC' enters as 'Internal clock (CK_INT)' into a 'Trigger controller' which contains a 'Control' block. This controller outputs 'TRGO' to the 'DAC' and sends 'Reset, enable, Count' signals to the counter logic. The clock 'CK_PSC' enters a 'PSC prescaler' which outputs 'CK_CNT' to the 'CNT counter'. The 'CNT counter' interacts with an 'Auto-reload register'. Update events (U) and Update Interrupts (UI) are generated based on counter overflow, leading to 'Interrupt & DMA output'.

23.3 TIM6 functional description

23.3.1 Time-base unit

The main block of the programmable timer is a 16-bit upcounter with its related auto-reload register. 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:

• Counter Register (TIMx_CNT)
• Prescaler Register (TIMx_PSC)
• Auto-Reload Register (TIMx_ARR)

The auto-reload register is preloaded. The preload register is accessed each time an attempt is made to write or read the auto-reload register. The contents 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 the TIMx_CR1 register. The update event is sent when the counter reaches the overflow value 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 detail for each configuration.

The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the counter enable bit (CEN) in the TIMx_CR1 register is set.

Note that the actual counter enable signal CNT_EN is set 1 clock cycle after CEN.

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 the TIMx_PSC control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is taken into account at the next update event.

Figure 272 and Figure 273 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly.

Figure 272. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 2

Timing diagram for Figure 272 showing signals CK_PSC, CEN, Timerclock = CK_CNT, Counter register, Update event (UEV), Prescaler control register, Prescaler buffer, and Prescaler counter over time. It illustrates a change in prescaler division from 1 to 2.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a basic timer (TIM6) when the prescaler division is changed from 1 to 2. The diagram shows the following signals and their states over time:

CK_PSC : Prescaler clock signal, shown as a continuous square wave.
CEN : Counter Enable signal, which goes high to enable the counter.
Timerclock = CK_CNT : The clock signal for the counter, derived from CK_PSC. Its frequency changes when the prescaler division changes.
Counter register : Shows the counter values. It starts at F7, increments through F8, F9, FA, FB, and FC. Upon reaching FC, an Update Event (UEV) occurs, and the counter resets to 00. After the prescaler division change, it increments through 01, 02, and 03.
Update event (UEV) : A pulse generated when the counter reaches its maximum value (FC) and resets.
Prescaler control register : Initially set to 0 (division by 1). At the time of the UEV, a new value of 1 (division by 2) is written to it.
Write a new value in TIMx_PSC : An annotation indicating the write operation to the prescaler control register.
Prescaler buffer : A buffer that latches the new prescaler value (1) from the control register.
Prescaler counter : A counter that divides the CK_PSC frequency. It counts from 0 to 1 (for division by 2) before resetting. The diagram shows the sequence 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1.

Timing diagram for Figure 273 showing signals CK_PSC, CEN, Timerclock = CK_CNT, Counter register, Update event (UEV), Prescaler control register, Prescaler buffer, and Prescaler counter over time. It illustrates a change in prescaler division from 1 to 4.

23.3.2 Counting mode

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

An update event can be generated at each counter overflow or by setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller).

The UEV event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This avoids updating the shadow registers while writing new values into the preload registers. In this way, no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0, however, the counter and the prescaler counter both restart from 0 (but the prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS (update request selection) bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV, but the UIF flag is not set (so no interrupt or DMA request is sent).

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

• The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (contents of the TIMx_PSC register)
• The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR)

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

The fifth signal, Counter overflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 36 and returns to low when it reaches 00. The sixth signal, Update event (UEV), is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 36 and returns to low when it reaches 00. The bottom signal, Update interrupt flag (UIF), is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 36 and returns to low when it reaches 00. Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the signals.

The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), counter enable (CEN), timer clock (CK_CNT), counter register values, counter overflow, update event (UEV), update interrupt flag (UIF), and auto-reload registers (ARR and shadow register).

23.3.3 UIF bit remapping

The IUFREMAP bit in the TIMx_CR1 register forces a continuous copy of the Update Interrupt Flag UIF into the timer counter register's bit 31 (TIMxCNT[31]). This allows to atomically read both the counter value and a potential roll-over condition signaled by the UIFCPY flag. In particular cases, it can ease the calculations by avoiding race conditions caused for instance by a processing shared between a background task (counter reading) and an interrupt (Update Interrupt).

There is no latency between the assertions of the UIF and UIFCPY flags.

23.3.4 Clock source

The counter clock is provided by the Internal clock (CK_INT) source.

The CEN (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual control bits and can be changed only by software (except for UG that remains cleared automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.

Figure 280 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode, without prescaler.

MS31085V2

Timing diagram showing the control circuit in normal mode. It displays the Internal clock, CEN=CNT_EN, UG, CNT_INIT, Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC, and Counter register values over time. The internal clock is a high-frequency square wave. CEN=CNT_EN is a high-level signal. UG and CNT_INIT are low-level signals. The counter clock is a square wave with a lower frequency than the internal clock. The counter register values are shown as a sequence of numbers: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the signals and the counter register values.

23.3.5 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters the debug mode (Cortex-M4 ^®F core - halted), the TIMx counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on the DBG_TIMx_STOP configuration bit in the DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 33.14.2: Debug support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I ²C .

23.4 TIM6 registers

Refer to Section 2.2 on page 45 for a list of abbreviations used in register descriptions.

The peripheral registers can be accessed by half-words (16-bit) or words (32-bit).

Bit 3 OPM : One-pulse mode

0: Counter is not stopped at update event

1: Counter stops counting at the next update event (clearing the CEN bit).

Bit 2 URS : Update request source

This bit is set and cleared by software to select the UEV event sources.

0: Any of the following events generates an update interrupt or DMA request if enabled.

These events can be:

– Counter overflow/underflow
– Setting the UG bit
– Update generation through the slave mode controller

1: Only counter overflow/underflow generates an update interrupt or DMA request if enabled.

Bit 1 UDIS : Update disable

This bit is set and cleared by software to enable/disable UEV event generation.

0: UEV enabled. The Update (UEV) event is generated by one of the following events:

– Counter overflow/underflow
– Setting the UG bit
– Update generation through the slave mode controller

Buffered registers are then loaded with their preload values.

1: UEV disabled. The Update event is not generated, shadow registers keep their value (ARR, PSC). However the counter and the prescaler are reinitialized if the UG bit is set or if a hardware reset is received from the slave mode controller.

Bit 0 CEN : Counter enable

0: Counter disabled

1: Counter enabled

Note: Gated mode can work only if the CEN bit has been previously set by software.

However trigger mode can set the CEN bit automatically by hardware.

CEN is cleared automatically in one-pulse mode, when an update event occurs.

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

Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0] : Master mode selection

These bits are used to select the information to be sent in master mode to slave timers for synchronization (TRGO). The combination is as follows:

000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as a trigger output (TRGO). If reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode) then the signal on TRGO is delayed compared to the actual reset.

001: Enable - the Counter enable signal, CNT_EN, is used as a trigger output (TRGO). It is useful to start several timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is enabled. The Counter Enable signal is generated by a logic OR between CEN control bit and the trigger input when configured in gated mode.

When the Counter Enable signal is controlled by the trigger input, there is a delay on TRGO, except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in the TIMx_SMCR register).

010: Update - The update event is selected as a trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.

Note: The clock of the slave timer or ADC 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.

Bits 3:0 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
