16. Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8)
16.1 TIM1&TIM8 introduction
The advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8) consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse length of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM, complementary PWM with dead-time insertion).
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 advanced-control (TIM1&TIM8) and general-purpose (TIMx) timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as described in Section 16.3.20 .
16.2 TIM1&TIM8 main features
TIM1&TIM8 timer features include:
- • 16-bit up, down, up/down auto-reload counter.
- • 16-bit programmable prescaler allowing dividing (also “on the fly”) the counter clock frequency either by any factor between 1 and 65536.
- • Up to 4 independent channels for:
- – Input Capture
- – Output Compare
- – PWM generation (Edge and Center-aligned Mode)
- – One-pulse mode output
- • Complementary outputs with programmable dead-time
- • Synchronization circuit to control the timer with external signals and to interconnect several timers together.
- • Repetition counter to update the timer registers only after a given number of cycles of the counter.
- • Break input to put the timer’s output signals in reset state or in a known state.
- • Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
- – Update: counter overflow/underflow, counter initialization (by software or internal/external trigger)
- – Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)
- – Input capture
- – Output compare
- – Break input
- • Supports incremental (quadrature) encoder and Hall-sensor circuitry for positioning purposes
- • Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management
Figure 77. Advanced-control timer block diagram

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of an advanced-control timer (TIM1 or TIM8). At the top, the Trigger controller receives inputs from CK_TIM18 from RCC (Internal clock CK_INT ), ETR (via Polarity selection, Edge detector and Prescaler ), ITR0-ITR3 (via Input filter ), TIF_ED , and TI1FP1-TI2FP2 . It generates TRGO (To other timers To DAC and ADC), TRGI , and ETRP . Below it, the Slave mode controller receives TRC and TRGI , and is controlled by Reset, Enable, Up/Down, Count . The Encoder interface also receives TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 . The CNT (counter) is driven by CK_PSC (via PSC (prescaler) ) and CK_INT . It is controlled by AutoReload Register , REP Register (via Repetition counter ), and DTG[7:0] registers . Four Capture/Compare registers (1-4) are connected to the counter and controlled by CC signals. Each register is preceded by a Prescaler and Input filter & Edge detector for TI1-TI4 inputs. Output controls generate OC1-OC4 and OC1N-OC3N signals. The BRK input is processed by Polarity selection and combined with Clock failure event from clock controller CSS (Clock Security System) via an OR gate to produce BI . A legend at the bottom indicates that jagged lines represent Interrupt & DMA output and straight lines represent Event . The identifier MS39906V2 is in the bottom right.
16.3 TIM1&TIM8 functional description
16.3.1 Time-base unit
The main block of the programmable advanced-control timer is a 16-bit counter with its related auto-reload register. The counter can count up, down or both up and down. 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)
- • Repetition counter register (TIMx_RCR)
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 (or underflow when downcounting) 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 detailed 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 78 and Figure 79 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly:
Figure 78. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 2

Figure 78 is a timing diagram illustrating the counter behavior when the prescaler division changes 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 is active low. It is initially high and then goes low to enable counting.
- Timerclock = CK_CNT : The clock signal for the counter, which is derived from CK_PSC. Its frequency changes when the prescaler division changes.
- Counter register : Shows the current count value. It starts at F7 and increments through F8, F9, FA, FB, FC. Upon reaching FC, it generates an Update event (UEV) and resets to 00. It then continues to increment: 01, 02, 03.
- Update event (UEV) : A pulse generated when the counter register overflows (from FC to 00).
- Prescaler control register : Initially set to 0 (division by 1). A write operation is performed to change it to 1 (division by 2).
- Prescaler buffer : A buffer that latches the new prescaler value from the control register. It changes from 0 to 1 upon the UEV.
- Prescaler counter : A counter that divides the CK_PSC frequency by the value in the prescaler buffer. It counts 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, corresponding to the new division of 2.

Figure 79 is a timing diagram illustrating the counter behavior when the prescaler division changes from 1 to 4. 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 is active low. It is initially high and then goes low to enable counting.
- Timerclock = CK_CNT : The clock signal for the counter, which is derived from CK_PSC. Its frequency changes when the prescaler division changes.
- Counter register : Shows the current count value. It starts at F7 and increments through F8, F9, FA, FB, FC. Upon reaching FC, it generates an Update event (UEV) and resets to 00. It then continues to increment: 01.
- Update event (UEV) : A pulse generated when the counter register overflows (from FC to 00).
- Prescaler control register : Initially set to 0 (division by 1). A write operation is performed to change it to 3 (division by 4).
- Prescaler buffer : A buffer that latches the new prescaler value from the control register. It changes from 0 to 3 upon the UEV.
- Prescaler counter : A counter that divides the CK_PSC frequency by the value in the prescaler buffer. It counts 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, corresponding to the new division of 4.

16.3.2 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.
If the repetition counter is used, the update event (UEV) is generated after upcounting is repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register plus one (TIMx_RCR+1). Else the update event is generated at each counter overflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller) 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 or DMA request 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 repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register,
- • The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR),
- • The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC register).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.
Figure 80. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 1

The timing diagram illustrates the operation of the counter in upcounting mode. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a signal 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, Counter register, shows the count values: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The counter increments by 1 at each rising edge of the timer clock. When the counter reaches 36 (0x24), it overflows to 00. The fifth signal, Counter overflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter overflows. The sixth signal, Update event (UEV), is a pulse that goes high when the counter overflows. The seventh signal, Update interrupt flag (UIF), is a pulse that goes high when the counter overflows. Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the signals.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer with the internal clock divided by 2. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a high-level signal that enables the counter. The Timerclock = CK_CNT signal is a square wave with a frequency half that of CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 0034, 0035, 0036, 0000, 0001, 0002, and 0003. A Counter overflow pulse occurs when the counter transitions 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 in the bottom right corner.
Figure 82. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 4

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer with the internal clock divided by 4. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a high-level signal that enables the counter. The Timerclock = CK_CNT signal is a square wave with a frequency one-quarter that of CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 0035, 0036, 0000, and 0001. A Counter overflow pulse occurs when the counter transitions 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 MS31080V3 in the bottom right corner.
Figure 83. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by N

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer with the internal clock divided by an arbitrary value N. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, the Timerclock = CK_CNT signal is a square wave with a frequency that is N times lower than CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 1F, 20, and 00. A Counter overflow pulse occurs when the counter transitions from 20 to 00. The Update event (UEV) and Update interrupt flag (UIF) are shown as pulses that coincide with the counter overflow. The diagram is labeled MS31081V3 in the bottom right corner.
Figure 84. Counter timing diagram, update event when ARPE=0
(TIMx_ARR not preloaded)

The timing diagram illustrates the counter's operation when ARPE=0. The CK_PSC signal is a periodic clock. The CEN signal is active-low, enabling the counter. The Timerclock (CK_CNT) is derived from CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The Counter overflow signal is high when the counter reaches 36. The Update event (UEV) is generated when the counter overflows. The Update interrupt flag (UIF) is set when the counter overflows. The Auto-reload preload register contains the value FF, which is updated to 36. A note indicates that a new value can be written to the TIMx_ARR register.
Figure 85. Counter timing diagram, update event when ARPE=1
(TIMx_ARR preloaded)

The timing diagram illustrates the counter's operation when ARPE=1. The CK_PSC signal is a periodic clock. The CEN signal is active-low, enabling the counter. The Timerclock (CK_CNT) is derived from CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The Counter overflow signal is high when the counter reaches F5. The Update event (UEV) is generated when the counter overflows. The Update interrupt flag (UIF) is set when the counter overflows. The Auto-reload preload register contains the value F5, which is updated to 36. The Auto-reload shadow register contains the value F5, which is updated to 36. A note indicates that a new value can be written to the TIMx_ARR register.
Downcounting mode
In downcounting mode, the counter counts from the auto-reload value (content of the TIMx_ARR register) down to 0, then restarts from the auto-reload value and generates a counter underflow event.
If the repetition counter is used, the update event (UEV) is generated after downcounting is repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register plus one (TIMx_RCR+1). Else the update event is generated at each counter underflow.
Setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller) also generates an update event.
The UEV update event can be disabled by software by setting the UDIS bit in 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 UDIS bit has been written to 0. However, the counter restarts from the current auto-reload value, whereas the counter of the prescaler restarts from 0 (but the prescale rate doesn't 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 or DMA request 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 repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register
- • The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC register)
- • The auto-reload active register is updated with the preload value (content of the TIMx_ARR register). Note that the auto-reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected one
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.
Figure 86. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 1

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a counter with an internal clock divided by 1. The signals shown are:
- CK_PSC : Prescaler clock signal, shown as a square wave.
- CNT_EN : Counter enable signal, which goes high to start the counter.
- Timerclock = CK_CNT : The clock signal for the counter, which is the output of the prescaler.
- Counter register : A sequence of values: 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 2F. The values 00 to 36 represent a rollover from 0000 to 0036 in hexadecimal.
- Counter underflow (cnt_udf) : A pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 0000 and is about to rollover.
- Update event (UEV) : A pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 0000.
- Update interrupt flag (UIF) : A signal that goes high when the counter reaches 0000 and remains high until it is manually cleared.
Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the counter register values and the other signals. The counter counts down from 05 to 00, then rolls over to 36 and continues counting down. The underflow, update event, and UIF all occur at the 0000 value.

Figure 88. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 4

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer when the internal clock is divided by 4. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a horizontal line indicating the counter is enabled. The Timerclock = CK_CNT signal is a square wave with a period four times that of CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 0001, 0000, 0000, and 0001. Vertical dashed lines mark specific clock edges. At the first dashed line, the counter value changes from 0001 to 0000, and a pulse occurs on the Counter underflow signal. At the second dashed line, the counter value changes from 0000 to 0000, and pulses occur on the Update event (UEV) and Update interrupt flag (UIF) signals. At the third dashed line, the counter value changes from 0000 to 0001. The bottom right corner of the diagram contains the identifier MS31186V1.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer when the internal clock is divided by an arbitrary factor N. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, the Timerclock = CK_CNT signal is a square wave with a period N times that of CK_PSC. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 20, 1F, 00, and 36. There are break symbols (diagonal lines) on the CK_PSC, Timerclock = CK_CNT, and Counter register signals, indicating that the time scale is not to the same proportion as in Figure 88. Vertical dashed lines mark specific clock edges. At the first dashed line, the counter value changes from 20 to 1F. At the second dashed line, the counter value changes from 1F to 00, and a pulse occurs on the Counter underflow signal. At the third dashed line, the counter value changes from 00 to 36, and pulses occur on the Update event (UEV) and Update interrupt flag (UIF) signals. The bottom right corner of the diagram contains the identifier MS31187V1.
Figure 90. Counter timing diagram, update event when repetition counter is not used

The timing diagram illustrates the operation of a timer counter. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic clock. Below it, CEN (Counter Enable) is shown as a high-level signal. The third signal, Timerclock = CK_CNT, is a divided version of CK_PSC. The fourth signal shows the Counter register values, which decrease from 05 to 00, then overflow to 36 and continue to decrease (35, 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 2F). The fifth signal, Counter underflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 00. The sixth signal, Update event (UEV), is also a pulse that goes high at the same time as the underflow. The seventh signal, Update interrupt flag (UIF), is a pulse that goes high at the same time as the underflow. The bottom signal shows the Auto-reload preload register, which initially contains FF and is then updated to 36. A note indicates 'Write a new value in TIMx_ARR'. The diagram is labeled MS31188V1 in the bottom right corner.
Center-aligned mode (up/down counting)
In center-aligned mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (content of the TIMx_ARR register) – 1, generates a counter overflow event, then counts from the auto-reload value down to 1 and generates a counter underflow event. Then it restarts counting from 0.
Center-aligned mode is active when the CMS bits in TIMx_CR1 register are not equal to '00'. The Output compare interrupt flag of channels configured in output is set when: the counter counts down (Center aligned mode 1, CMS = "01"), the counter counts up (Center aligned mode 2, CMS = "10") the counter counts up and down (Center aligned mode 3, CMS = "11").
In this mode, the DIR direction bit in the TIMx_CR1 register cannot be written. It is updated by hardware and gives the current direction of the counter.
The update event can be generated at each counter overflow and at each counter underflow or by setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register (by software or by using the slave mode controller) also generates an update event. In this case, the counter restarts counting from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler.
The UEV update 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 UDIS bit has been written to 0. However, the counter continues counting up and down, based on the current auto-reload value.
In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an UEV update event but without setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or
DMA request 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 repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register
- • The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC register)
- • The auto-reload active register is updated with the preload value (content of the TIMx_ARR register). Note that if the update source is a counter overflow, the auto-reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected one (the counter is loaded with the new value).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies.

Figure 95. Counter timing diagram, update event with ARPE=1 (counter underflow)

This timing diagram illustrates the behavior of a timer counter during an underflow. The counter register starts at 06 and counts down to 00. Upon reaching 00, a counter overflow occurs, followed by an update event (UEV) and the setting of the update interrupt flag (UIF). The counter then resumes counting upwards from 01 to 07. The auto-reload preload register is shown with a value of FD being updated to 36. The auto-reload active register follows with a value of FD being updated to 36. The timer clock (CK_CNT) is derived from the prescaler clock (CK_PSC) when the counter enable (CEN) is active.
Figure 96. Counter timing diagram, update event with ARPE=1 (counter overflow)

This timing diagram illustrates the behavior of a timer counter during an overflow. The counter register starts at F7 and counts up to FC. Upon reaching FC, a counter overflow occurs, followed by an update event (UEV) and the setting of the update interrupt flag (UIF). The counter then resumes counting from 36 down to 2F. The auto-reload preload register is shown with a value of FD being updated to 36. The auto-reload active register follows with a value of FD being updated to 36. The timer clock (CK_CNT) is derived from the prescaler clock (CK_PSC) when the counter enable (CEN) is active.
16.3.3 Repetition counter
Section 16.3.1: Time-base unit describes how the update event (UEV) is generated with respect to the counter overflows/underflows. It is actually generated only when the repetition counter has reached zero. This can be useful when generating PWM signals.
This means that data are transferred from the preload registers to the shadow registers (TIMx_ARR auto-reload register, TIMx_PSC prescaler register, but also TIMx_CCRx capture/compare registers in compare mode) every N+1 counter overflows or underflows, where N is the value in the TIMx_RCR repetition counter register.
The repetition counter is decremented:
- • At each counter overflow in upcounting mode,
- • At each counter underflow in downcounting mode,
- • At each counter overflow and at each counter underflow in center-aligned mode.
- Although this limits the maximum number of repetition to 128 PWM cycles, it makes it possible to update the duty cycle twice per PWM period. When refreshing compare registers only once per PWM period in center-aligned mode, maximum resolution is \( 2 \times T_{ck} \) , due to the symmetry of the pattern.
The repetition counter is an auto-reload type; the repetition rate is maintained as defined by the TIMx_RCR register value (refer to Figure 97). When the update event is generated by software (by setting the UG bit in TIMx_EGR register) or by hardware through the slave mode controller, it occurs immediately whatever the value of the repetition counter is and the repetition counter is reloaded with the content of the TIMx_RCR register.
In center-aligned mode, for odd values of RCR, the update event occurs either on the overflow or on the underflow depending on when the RCR register was written and when the counter was started. If the RCR was written before starting the counter, the UEV occurs on the overflow. If the RCR was written after starting the counter, the UEV occurs on the underflow. For example for RCR = 3, the UEV is generated on each 4th overflow or underflow event depending on when RCR was written.

16.3.4 Clock selection
The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
- • Internal clock (CK_INT)
- • External clock mode1: external input pin
- • External clock mode2: external trigger input ETR
- • Internal trigger inputs (ITRx): using one timer as prescaler for another timer, for example, Timer 1 can be configured to act as a prescaler for Timer 2. Refer to Using one timer as prescaler for another timer for more details.
Internal clock source (CK_INT)
If the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS=000), then the CEN, DIR (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 UG which remains cleared automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.
Figure 98 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode, without prescaler.
Figure 98. Control circuit in normal mode, internal clock divided by 1

The figure is a timing diagram illustrating the control circuit and counter behavior in normal mode with internal clock divided by 1. It consists of six horizontal timelines. The first timeline, 'Internal clock', shows a continuous square wave. The second timeline, 'CEN=CNT_EN', is a signal that goes high at the first vertical dashed line. The third timeline, 'UG', is a signal that goes high at the second vertical dashed line and returns to low at the third. The fourth timeline, 'CNT_INIT', is a signal that goes high at the third vertical dashed line and returns to low at the fourth. The fifth timeline, 'Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC', shows a square wave that starts at the first vertical dashed line. The sixth timeline, 'Counter register', shows a sequence of values: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The values 31 through 36 are shown before the first dashed line, and the values 00 through 07 are shown after the fourth dashed line. Vertical dashed lines indicate key timing events: the first at the start of the counter clock, the second at the rising edge of UG, the third at the rising edge of CNT_INIT, and the fourth at the start of the reset sequence.
MS31085V2
External clock source mode 1
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 99. TI2 external clock connection example
![Block diagram of TI2 external clock connection example. The diagram shows the signal flow from the TI2 input through a filter (controlled by ICF[3:0] in TIMx_CCMR1) and an edge detector (controlled by CC2P in TIMx_CCER). The edge detector outputs TI2F_Rising and TI2F_Falling signals. These are multiplexed (0 for rising, 1 for falling) and then connected to a trigger input selection block. This block includes options for ITRx, TI1_ED, TI1FP1, TI2FP2, and ETRF. The selected trigger signal (TRGI) is then connected to an encoder mode block. This block also includes options for TI2F or TI1F (rising or falling), ETRF, and CK_INT (internal clock). The output of the encoder mode block is CK_PSC. The encoder mode block is controlled by ECE and SMS[2:0] in TIMx_SMCR. The trigger input selection block is also controlled by TS[2:0] in TIMx_SMCR.](/RM0402-STM32F412/29448c678bc35588e27c903963dbba02_img.jpg)
For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2 input, use the following procedure:
- 1. Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
- 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. Select rising edge polarity by writing CC2P=0 and CC2NP=0 in the TIMx_CCER register.
- 4. Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- 5. Select TI2 as the trigger input source by writing TS=110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- 6. Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured.
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 100. Control circuit in external clock mode 1

The diagram shows the relationship between several signals in external clock mode 1. The top signal, TI2, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is a signal that goes high and stays high. The third signal, Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC, is a square wave that toggles on the rising edges of TI2. The fourth signal, Counter register, shows the count value increasing from 34 to 35 to 36, with each increment occurring at a rising edge of the counter clock. The bottom signal, TIF, is a pulse that goes high when the counter register overflows from 36 back to 34. An arrow labeled 'Write TIF=0' points to the falling edges of the TIF signal, indicating where it can be manually cleared. The diagram is labeled MS31087V2 in the bottom right corner.
External clock source mode 2
This mode is selected by writing ECE=1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
The counter can count at each rising or falling edge on the external trigger input ETR.
Figure 101 gives an overview of the external trigger input block.
Figure 101. External trigger input block

This block diagram illustrates the external trigger input path. It starts with the ETR pin connected to a multiplexer (MUX) labeled 'ETR'. The MUX has two inputs: '0' (direct path) and '1' (inverted path via an inverter). The output of the MUX goes to a 'Divider /1, /2, /4, /8' block, which is controlled by the 'ETPS[1:0]' register in TIMx_SMCR. The output of the divider is labeled 'ETRP' and 'f_DTS'. This signal then enters a 'Filter downcounter' block, controlled by the 'ETF[3:0]' register in TIMx_SMCR. The output of the filter is labeled 'ETRF'. Below the filter, there are several input options for an encoder mode: 'or TI2F_f or TI1F_f or TRGI_f'. The 'ETRF' signal and these encoder mode inputs are fed into a large multiplexer block. This block is controlled by 'ECE' and 'SMS[2:0]' registers in TIMx_SMCR. The outputs of this block are labeled 'External clock mode 1', 'External clock mode 2', and 'Internal clock mode (CK_INT_f)'. The final output of the entire block is 'CK_PSC'. The diagram is labeled MS33116V1 in the bottom right corner.
For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the following procedure:
- 1. As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0]=0000 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- 2. Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0]=01 in the TIMx_SMCR register
- 3. Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP=0 in the TIMx_SMCR register
- 4. Enable external clock mode 2 by writing ECE=1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- 5. Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The counter counts once each 2 ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on ETR and the actual clock of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal.

16.3.5 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 103 to Figure 106 give an overview of one 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).
Figure 103. Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage)
![Schematic diagram of the capture/compare channel input stage for channel 1. It shows the signal flow from the TI1 pin through a filter downcounter (controlled by ICF[3:0] from TIMx_CCMR1) to an edge detector. The edge detector outputs TI1F_Rising and TI1F_Falling signals. These are multiplexed by TI1FP1 (controlled by CC1P/CC1NP from TIMx_CCER) to produce TI1F_ED, which is sent to the slave mode controller. The TI1F_Falling signal is also multiplexed by TI2FP1 (controlled by TRC from the slave mode controller) to produce IC1. IC1 is then divided by a divider (/1, /2, /4, /8) controlled by ICPS[1:0] from TIMx_CCMR1 to produce IC1PS. The divider is also controlled by CC1S[1:0] from TIMx_CCMR1 and CC1E from TIMx_CCER.](/RM0402-STM32F412/79af6440ba722a77eabbe7c089e03d66_img.jpg)
MS33115V1
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 104. Capture/compare channel 1 main circuit
![Block diagram of the main circuit for capture/compare channel 1. It shows the APB Bus connected to an MCU-peripheral interface. The interface controls a Capture/compare preload register and a Capture/compare shadow register. The preload register is written via 'write CCR1H' and 'write CCR1L' signals, with 'write_in_progress' feedback. The shadow register is updated via 'capture_transfer' and 'compare_transfer' signals. The 'capture_transfer' signal is generated by an AND gate of 'read_in_progress' (from Read CCR1H/Read CCR1L) and 'Input mode' (from CC1S[1]/CC1S[0]). The 'compare_transfer' signal is generated by an AND gate of 'output mode' (from CC1S[1]/CC1S[0]) and 'UEV' (from the time base unit). The 'Input mode' signal is also used to control a multiplexer for 'Capture' (from the Counter) and 'compare_transfer'. The Counter is controlled by 'Capture' and 'compare_transfer' signals. The Counter outputs are compared with CCR1 (from the shadow register) by a Comparator, which generates 'CNT>CCR1' and 'CNT=CCR1' signals. The 'output mode' signal is also used to control an OR gate for 'OC1PE' (from TIM1_CCMR1) and 'UEV' (from the time base unit). The 'OC1PE' signal is also controlled by 'CC1G' (from TIM1_EGR).](/RM0402-STM32F412/d3eb67b628360caf9855a139ac481038_img.jpg)

Figure 105. Output stage of capture/compare channel (channels 1 to 3)
![Figure 105: Output stage of capture/compare channel (channels 1 to 3). This block diagram shows the internal logic for channels 1 to 3. It starts with an 'Output mode controller' that takes inputs ETRF, CNT>CCR1, CNT=CCR1, and OCxREF(1)/OC5REF. It outputs OC1REF to an 'Output selector' and OC1REFC to the 'master mode controller'. The 'Output selector' also takes inputs from TIM1_CCMR1 (OC1CE, OC1M[3:0]) and TIM1_BDTR (DTG[7:0]). Its output goes to a 'Dead-time generator' which produces OC1_DT and OC1N_DT. These signals pass through multiplexers (inputs '0', '1', 'x0', '01', '11') controlled by TIM1_CCER (CC1NE, CC1E, CC1NP). The multiplexer outputs then pass through inverters and are connected to 'Output enable circuit' blocks that produce the final outputs OC1 and OC1N. Additional control inputs for the enable circuits come from TIM1_BDTR (MOE, OSSI, OSSR) and TIM1_CCER (CC1NE, CC1E).](/RM0402-STM32F412/6ea632e1812c1526a021cada5dae62da_img.jpg)

It features an 'Output mode controller' that takes inputs ETR, CNT>CCR4, and CNT=CCR4. It outputs OC4REF to the 'master mode controller' and OC1M[3:0] to TIM1_CCMR2. The OC4REF signal passes through a multiplexer (inputs '0', '1') controlled by TIM1_CCER (CC4P). The output of the multiplexer passes through an inverter and then to an 'Output enable circuit' which produces the final output OC4. Control inputs for the enable circuit come from TIM1_CCER (CC4E), TIM1_BDTR (MOE, OSSI), and TIM1_CR2 (OIS4).](/RM0402-STM32F412/ce101d302825232738edb481fc537a7e_img.jpg)
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.
16.3.6 Input capture mode
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 it is written with 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:
- • 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 and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes read-only.
- • Program the appropriate input filter duration in relation with the signal connected to the timer (by programming ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register if the input is a TIx input). Let's imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at most 5 internal clock cycles. We must program a filter duration longer than these 5 clock cycles. We can validate a transition on TI1 when 8 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.
- • Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel by writing CC1P and CC1NP bits to 0 in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).
- • 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).
- • Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the TIMx_CCER register.
- • If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the CC1IE bit in the TIMx_DIER register, and/or the DMA request by setting the CC1DE bit in the TIMx_DIER register.
When an input capture occurs:
- • The TIMx_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition.
- • CC1IF flag is set (interrupt flag). CC1OF is also set if at least two consecutive captures occurred whereas the flag was not cleared.
- • An interrupt is generated depending on the CC1IE bit.
- • A DMA request is generated depending on the CC1DE bit.
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 and/or DMA requests can be generated by software by setting the corresponding CCxG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
16.3.7 PWM input mode
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:
- • Two ICx signals are mapped on the same TIx input.
- • These 2 ICx signals are active on edges with opposite polarity.
- • One of the two TIxFP signals is selected as trigger input and the slave mode controller is configured in reset mode.
For example, one 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):
- • Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
- • Select the active polarity for TI1FP1 (used both for capture in TIMx_CCR1 and counter clear): write the CC1P and CC1NP bits to '0' (active on rising edge).
- • Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
- • 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).
- • Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register (TI1FP1 selected).
- • Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 100 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- • Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to '1' in the TIMx_CCER register.
Figure 107. PWM input mode timing

16.3.8 Forced output mode
In output mode (CCxS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal (OCxREF and then OCx/OCxN) 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, one 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 and DMA requests can be sent accordingly. This is described in the output compare mode section below.
16.3.9 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:
- • 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.
- • Sets a flag in the interrupt status register (CCxIF bit in the TIMx_SR register).
- • Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (CCXIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register).
- • Sends a DMA request if the corresponding enable bit is set (CCxDE bit in the TIMx_DIER register, CCDS bit in the TIMx_CR2 register for the DMA request selection).
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. Select the counter clock (internal, external, prescaler).
- 2. Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.
- 3. Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.
- 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. 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 108 .

16.3.10 PWM mode
Pulse Width Modulation mode allows 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. The corresponding preload register must be enabled by setting the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register (in upcounting or center-aligned modes) 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, all registers must be initialized by setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
OCx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It can be programmed as active high or active low. OCx output is enabled by a combination of the CCxE, CCxNE, MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits (TIMx_CCER and TIMx_BDTR registers). Refer to the TIMx_CCER register description for more details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine whether \( TIMx\_CCRx \leq TIMx\_CNT \) or \( TIMx\_CNT \leq TIMx\_CCRx \) (depending on the direction of the counter).
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode or center-aligned mode depending on the CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register.
PWM edge-aligned mode
- • Upcounting configuration
Upcounting is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to Upcounting 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 109 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where \( TIMx\_ARR=8 \) .
Figure 109. Edge-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)

- • Downcounting configuration
Downcounting is active when DIR bit in TIMx_CR1 register is high. Refer to Downcounting mode .
In PWM mode 1, the reference signal OCxRef is low as long as \( TIMx\_CNT > TIMx\_CCRx \) else it becomes high. If the compare value in \( TIMx\_CCRx \) is greater than the auto-reload value in \( TIMx\_ARR \) , then OCxREF is held at '1'. 0% PWM is not possible in this mode.
PWM center-aligned mode
Center-aligned mode is active when the CMS bits in TIMx_CR1 register are different from '00' (all the remaining configurations having the same effect on the OCxRef/OCx signals). The compare flag is set when the counter counts up, when it counts down or both when it counts up and down depending on the CMS bits configuration. The direction bit (DIR) in the TIMx_CR1 register is updated by hardware and must not be changed by software. Refer to Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) .
Figure 110 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:
- • TIMx_ARR=8,
- • PWM mode is the PWM mode 1,
- • The flag is set when the counter counts down corresponding to the center-aligned mode 1 selected for CMS=01 in TIMx_CR1 register.
Figure 110. Center-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)

The figure illustrates the relationship between the counter register values and the resulting PWM waveforms for various Capture/Compare Register (CCRx) settings. The counter register sequence is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1. Vertical dashed lines mark the counter values 4, 7, 8, and 0.
- CCRx = 4: The OCxREF signal is high from counter 0 to 4 and low from 4 to 8. The CCxIF flag is set at counter 4 (downward) and counter 0 (upward). CMS options 01, 10, and 11 are indicated.
- CCRx = 7: The OCxREF signal is high from 0 to 7 and low from 7 to 8. The CCxIF flag is set at counter 7 (downward) and counter 0 (upward). CMS options 10 or 11 are indicated.
- CCRx = 8: The OCxREF signal is high from 0 to 8 and low from 8 to 0. The CCxIF flag is set at counter 8 (downward) and counter 0 (upward). CMS options 01, 10, and 11 are indicated.
- CCRx > 8: The OCxREF signal is always high. The CCxIF flag is set at counter 0 (upward). CMS options 01, 10, and 11 are indicated.
- CCRx = 0: The OCxREF signal is always low. The CCxIF flag is set at counter 0 (downward) and counter 0 (upward). CMS options 01, 10, and 11 are indicated.
A14681b
Hints on using center-aligned mode:- • When starting in center-aligned mode, the current up-down configuration is used. It means that the counter counts up or down depending on the value written in the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the same time by the software.
- • Writing to the counter while running in center-aligned mode is not recommended as it can lead to unexpected results. In particular:
- – The direction is not updated if a value greater than the auto-reload value is written in the counter (TIMx_CNT > TIMx_ARR). For example, if the counter was counting up, it continues to count up.
- – The direction is updated if 0 or the TIMx_ARR value is written in the counter but no Update Event UEV is generated.
- • The safest way to use center-aligned mode is to generate an update by software (setting the UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register) just before starting the counter and not to write the counter while it is running.
16.3.11 Complementary outputs and dead-time insertion
The advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8) can output two complementary signals and manage the switching-off and the switching-on instants of the outputs.
This time is generally known as dead-time and it has to be adjusted depending on the devices that are connected to the outputs and their characteristics (intrinsic delays of level-shifters, delays due to power switches...)
The polarity of the outputs (main output OCx or complementary OCxN) can be selected independently for each output. This is done by writing to the CCxP and CCxNP bits in the TIMx_CCER register.
The complementary signals OCx and OCxN are activated by a combination of several control bits: the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER register and the MOE, OISx, OISxN, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR and TIMx_CR2 registers. Refer to Table 98 for more details. In particular, the dead-time is activated when switching to the IDLE state (MOE falling down to 0).
Dead-time insertion is enabled by setting both CCxE and CCxNE bits, and the MOE bit if the break circuit is present. DTG[7:0] bits of the TIMx_BDTR register are used to control the dead-time generation for all channels. From a reference waveform OCxREF, it generates 2 outputs OCx and OCxN. If OCx and OCxN are active high:
- • The OCx output signal is the same as the reference signal except for the rising edge, which is delayed relative to the reference rising edge.
- • The OCxN output signal is the opposite of the reference signal except for the rising edge, which is delayed relative to the reference falling edge.
If the delay is greater than the width of the active output (OCx or OCxN) then the corresponding pulse is not generated.
The following figures show the relationships between the output signals of the dead-time generator and the reference signal OCxREF. (we suppose CCxP=0, CCxNP=0, MOE=1, CCxE=1 and CCxNE=1 in these examples).
Figure 111. Complementary output with dead-time insertion

Timing diagram showing complementary output with dead-time insertion. The diagram displays three waveforms: OCxREF, OCx, and OCxN. OCxREF is a periodic square wave. OCx and OCxN are complementary square waves. Dead-time is indicated by two arrows labeled 'delay'. One arrow shows the time from the rising edge of OCxREF to the falling edge of OCx. The other arrow shows the time from the falling edge of OCxREF to the rising edge of OCxN. The identifier MS31095V1 is present in the bottom right corner.
Figure 112. Dead-time waveforms with delay greater than the negative pulse

Timing diagram showing dead-time waveforms with delay greater than the negative pulse. The diagram displays three waveforms: OCxREF, OCx, and OCxN. OCxREF is a periodic square wave. OCx and OCxN are complementary square waves. A single arrow labeled 'delay' shows the time from the falling edge of OCxREF to the rising edge of OCxN, which is longer than the duration of the negative pulse of OCxREF. The identifier MS31096V1 is present in the bottom right corner.
Figure 113. Dead-time waveforms with delay greater than the positive pulse

Timing diagram showing dead-time waveforms with delay greater than the positive pulse. The diagram displays three waveforms: OCxREF, OCx, and OCxN. OCxREF is a periodic square wave. OCx and OCxN are complementary square waves. A single arrow labeled 'delay' shows the time from the rising edge of OCxREF to the falling edge of OCx, which is longer than the duration of the positive pulse of OCxREF. The identifier MS31097V1 is present in the bottom right corner.
The dead-time delay is the same for each of the channels and is programmable with the DTG bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 16.4.18: TIM1&TIM8 break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR) for delay calculation.
Re-directing OCxREF to OCx or OCxN
In output mode (forced, output compare or PWM), OCxREF can be re-directed to the OCx output or to OCxN output by configuring the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER register.
This allows to send a specific waveform (such as PWM or static active level) on one output while the complementary remains at its inactive level. Other alternative possibilities are to
have both outputs at inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with dead-time.
Note: When only OCxN is enabled (CCxE=0, CCxNE=1), it is not complemented and becomes active as soon as OCxREF is high. For example, if CCxNP=0 then OCxN=OCxRef. On the other hand, when both OCx and OCxN are enabled (CCxE=CCxNE=1) OCx becomes active when OCxREF is high whereas OCxN is complemented and becomes active when OCxREF is low.
16.3.12 Using the break function
When using the break function, the output enable signals and inactive levels are modified according to additional control bits (MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR register, OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register). In any case, the OCx and OCxN outputs cannot be set both to active level at a given time. Refer to Table 98 for more details.
The break source can be either the break input pin or a clock failure event, generated by the Clock Security System (CSS), from the Reset Clock Controller. For further information on the Clock Security System, refer to Section 6.2.7: Clock security system (CSS) .
When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. The break function can be enabled by setting the BKE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input polarity can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can be modified at the same time. When the BKE and BKP bits are written, a delay of 1 APB clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait 1 APB clock period to correctly read back the bit after the write operation.
Because MOE falling edge can be asynchronous, a resynchronization circuit has been inserted between the actual signal (acting on the outputs) and the synchronous control bit (accessed in the TIMx_BDTR register). It results in some delays between the asynchronous and the synchronous signals. In particular, when writing MOE to 1 whereas it was low, user must insert a delay (dummy instruction) before reading it correctly. This is because user writes the asynchronous signal and reads the synchronous signal.
When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):
- • The MOE bit is cleared asynchronously, putting the outputs in inactive state, idle state or in reset state (selected by the OSSI bit). This feature functions even if the MCU oscillator is off.
- • Each output channel is driven with the level programmed in the OISx bit in the TIMx_CR2 register as soon as MOE=0. If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable output else the enable output remains high.
- • When complementary outputs are used:
- – The outputs are first put in reset state inactive state (depending on the polarity). This is done asynchronously so that it works even if no clock is provided to the timer.
- – If the timer clock is still present, then the dead-time generator is reactivated in order to drive the outputs with the level programmed in the OISx and OISxN bits after a dead-time. Even in this case, OCx and OCxN cannot be driven to their
active level together. Note that because of the resynchronization on MOE, the dead-time duration is a bit longer than usual (around 2 ck_tim clock cycles).
- – If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable outputs else the enable outputs remain or become high as soon as one of the CCxE or CCxNE bits is high.
- • The break status flag (BIF bit in the TIMx_SR register) is set. An interrupt can be generated if the BIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set. A DMA request can be sent if the BDE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set.
- • If the AOE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register is set, the MOE bit is automatically set again at the next update event UEV. This can be used to perform a regulation, for instance. Else, MOE remains low until it is written with 1 again. In this case, it can be used for security and the break input can be connected to an alarm from power drivers, thermal sensors or any security components.
Note: The break inputs is acting on level. Thus, the MOE cannot be set while the break input is active (neither automatically nor by software). In the meantime, the status flag BIF cannot be cleared.
The break can be generated by the BRK input which has a programmable polarity and an enable bit BKE in the TIMx_BDTR Register.
There are two solutions to generate a break:
- • By using the BRK input which has a programmable polarity and an enable bit BKE in the TIMx_BDTR register
- • By software through the BG bit of the TIMx_EGR register.
In addition to the break input and the output management, a write protection has been implemented inside the break circuit to safeguard the application. It allows to freeze the configuration of several parameters (dead-time duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). The protection can be selected among 3 levels with the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 16.4.18: TIM1&TIM8 break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR) . The LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.
Figure 114 shows an example of behavior of the outputs in response to a break.
Figure 114. Output behavior in response to a break

The figure is a timing diagram showing the output behavior of an advanced-control timer in response to a break signal. The break signal, labeled 'BREAK (MOE ↓)', is shown at the top with a falling edge indicated by an arrow. Below it, several output signals are plotted over time, separated by vertical dashed lines representing clock edges.
- OCxREF: The reference output signal. It is shown as a constant high level throughout the diagram.
- OCx (OCxN not implemented, CCxP=0, OISx=1): The primary output signal. It is shown as a constant high level.
- OCx (OCxN not implemented, CCxP=0, OISx=0): The primary output signal. It is shown as a constant low level.
- OCx (OCxN not implemented, CCxP=1, OISx=1): The primary output signal. It is shown as a constant high level.
- OCx (OCxN not implemented, CCxP=1, OISx=0): The primary output signal. It is shown as a constant low level.
- OCx: A primary output signal that toggles between high and low levels. It is high before the break, goes low at the first clock edge after the break, and returns to high at the second clock edge.
- OCxN (CCxE=1, CCxP=0, OISx=0, CCxNE=1, CCxNP=0, OISxN=1): The inverted output signal. It shows a 'delay' period (indicated by a double-headed arrow) between the falling edge of OCx and its own falling edge. It is low before the break, goes high at the first clock edge after the break, and returns to low at the second clock edge.
- OCx: Another primary output signal that toggles. It is high before the break, goes low at the first clock edge, and returns to high at the second clock edge.
- OCxN (CCxE=1, CCxP=0, OISx=1, CCxNE=1, CCxNP=1, OISxN=1): The inverted output signal. It also shows a 'delay' period between the falling edge of OCx and its own falling edge. It is high before the break, goes low at the first clock edge, and returns to high at the second clock edge.
- OCx: A primary output signal that is high before the break and goes low at the first clock edge after the break, remaining low.
- OCxN (CCxE=1, CCxP=0, OISx=0, CCxNE=0, CCxNP=0, OISxN=1): The inverted output signal. It shows a 'delay' period between the falling edge of OCx and its own falling edge. It is low before the break and remains low.
- OCx: A primary output signal that is high before the break and goes low at the first clock edge after the break, remaining low.
- OCxN (CCxE=1, CCxP=0, OISx=1, CCxNE=0, CCxNP=0, OISxN=0): The inverted output signal. It shows a 'delay' period between the falling edge of OCx and its own falling edge. It is high before the break and remains high.
- OCx: A primary output signal that is high before the break and goes low at the first clock edge after the break, remaining low.
- OCxN (CCxE=1, CCxP=0, CCxNE=0, CCxNP=0, OISx=0, OISxN=0 or OISx=OISxN=1): The inverted output signal. It is low before the break and remains low.
MS31098V1
16.3.13 Clearing the OCxREF signal on an external event
The OCxREF signal for a given channel can be driven Low by applying a High level to the ETRF input (OCxCE enable bit of the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to '1'). The OCxREF signal remains Low until the next update event, UEV, occurs.
This function can only be used in output compare and PWM modes, and does not work in forced mode.
For example, the ETR signal can be connected to the output of a comparator to be used for current handling. In this case, the ETR must be configured as follow:
- 1. The External Trigger Prescaler should be kept off: bits ETPS[1:0] of the TIMx_SMCR register set to '00'.
- 2. The external clock mode 2 must be disabled: bit ECE of the TIMx_SMCR register set to '0'.
- 3. The External Trigger Polarity (ETP) and the External Trigger Filter (ETF) can be configured according to the user needs.
Figure 115 shows the behavior of the OCxREF signal when the ETRF Input becomes High, for both values of the enable bit OCxCE. In this example, the timer TIMx is programmed in PWM mode.

Figure 115. Clearing TIMx OCxREF
The figure is a timing diagram illustrating the behavior of the OCxREF signal. It shows four waveforms over time:
- Counter (CNT) : A sawtooth waveform representing the timer counter value. It increases linearly and then resets to zero at regular intervals (update events).
- ETRF : An external trigger signal that goes high at a certain point and then low.
- OCxREF (OCxCE = '0') : The output compare reference signal when the OCxCE bit is 0. It is a rectangular signal that toggles based on the counter value.
- OCxREF (OCxCE = '1') : The output compare reference signal when the OCxCE bit is 1. This signal is initially high. When the ETRF signal becomes high, this signal goes low and remains low until the next counter overflow (update event), at which point it returns to high. If the ETRF signal is still high at the next update event, the OCxREF signal remains low.
- An arrow points to the rising edge of the ETRF signal with the text "ETRF becomes high".
- Another arrow points to the ETRF signal while it is still high with the text "ETRF still high".
- The diagram is labeled "MSv35889V1" in the bottom right corner.
Note: In case of a PWM with a 100% duty cycle (if \( CCRx > ARR \) ), then OCxREF is enabled again at the next counter overflow.
16.3.14 6-step PWM generation
When complementary outputs are used on a channel, preload bits are available on the OCxM, CCxE and CCxNE bits. The preload bits are transferred to the shadow bits at the COM commutation event. Thus one can program in advance the configuration for the next step and change the configuration of all the channels at the same time. COM can be generated by software by setting the COM bit in the TIMx_EGR register or by hardware (on TRGI rising edge).
A flag is set when the COM event occurs (COMIF bit in the TIMx_SR register), which can generate an interrupt (if the COMIE bit is set in the TIMx_DIER register) or a DMA request (if the COMDE bit is set in the TIMx_DIER register).
Figure 116 describes the behavior of the OCx and OCxN outputs when a COM event occurs, in 3 different examples of programmed configurations.
Figure 116. 6-step generation, COM example (OSSR=1)

The figure is a timing diagram illustrating the behavior of OCx and OCxN outputs during 6-step PWM generation. It includes the following signal traces and annotations:
- counter (CNT) (CCRx) : A sawtooth waveform representing the timer counter.
- OCxREF : The reference output signal, which is the complement of the OCx output.
- COM event : A signal line that pulses high when a COM event occurs. An arrow points to a rising edge labeled "Write COM to 1".
- Example 1 : Shows OCx and OCxN outputs. Initial state: CCxE=1, CCxNE=0, OCxM=100 (forced inactive). After the COM event, the state changes to CCxE=1, CCxNE=0, OCxM=100. An arrow points to the initial state with the text "write OCxM to 100".
- Example 2 : Shows OCx and OCxN outputs. Initial state: CCxE=1, CCxNE=0, OCxM=100 (forced inactive). After the COM event, the state changes to CCxE=0, CCxNE=1, OCxM=101. An arrow points to the initial state with the text "Write CCxNE to 1 and OCxM to 101".
- Example 3 : Shows OCx and OCxN outputs. Initial state: CCxE=1, CCxNE=0, OCxM=100 (forced inactive). After the COM event, the state changes to CCxE=1, CCxNE=0, OCxM=100. An arrow points to the initial state with the text "write CCxNE to 0 and OCxM to 100".

16.3.15 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. One-pulse mode is selected 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:
- • In upcounting: \( CNT < CCRx \leq ARR \) (in particular, \( 0 < CCRx \) )
- • In downcounting: \( CNT > CCRx \)
Figure 117. Example of one pulse mode

For example one 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.
Let's use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
- • Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S='01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
- • TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P='0' and CC2NP='0' in the TIMx_CCER register.
- • Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS='110' in the TIMx_SMCR register.
- • 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 \( t_{\text{DELAY}} \) is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.
- • The \( t_{\text{PULSE}} \) is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1).
- • Let's say one wants to build a waveform with a transition from '0' to '1' when a compare match occurs and a transition from '1' to '0' when the counter reaches the auto-reload value. To do this PWM mode 2 must be enabled by writing OC1M=111 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Optionally the preload registers can be enabled by writing OC1PE='1' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register and ARPE in the TIMx_CR1 register. In this case one has to write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in the TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for external trigger event on TI2. CC1P is written to '0' in this example.
In our example, the DIR and CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register should be low.
Since only 1 pulse (Single mode) is needed, a 1 must be written 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 one wants to output a waveform with the minimum delay, the OCxFE bit can be set 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.
16.3.16 Encoder interface mode
To select Encoder Interface mode write SMS='001' in the TIMx_SMCR register if the counter is counting on TI2 edges only, SMS='010' if it is counting on TI1 edges only and SMS='011' if it is counting on both TI1 and TI2 edges.
Select the TI1 and TI2 polarity by programming the CC1P and CC2P bits in the TIMx_CCER register. When needed, the input filter can be programmed as well. CC1NP and CC2NP must be kept low.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an incremental encoder. Refer to Table 96 . The counter is clocked by each valid transition on TI1FP1 or TI2FP2 (TI1 and TI2 after input filter and polarity selection, TI1FP1=TI1 if not filtered and not inverted, TI2FP2=TI2 if not filtered and not inverted) assuming that it is enabled (CEN bit in TIMx_CR1 register written to '1'). The sequence of transitions of the two inputs is evaluated and generates count pulses as well as the direction signal. Depending on the sequence the counter counts up or down, the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is modified by hardware accordingly. The DIR bit is calculated at each transition on any input (TI1 or TI2), whatever the counter is counting on TI1 only, TI2 only or both TI1 and TI2.
Encoder interface mode acts simply as an external clock with direction selection. This means that the counter just counts continuously between 0 and the auto-reload value in the TIMx_ARR register (0 to ARR or ARR down to 0 depending on the direction). So the
TIMx_ARR must be configured before starting. In the same way, the capture, compare, prescaler, repetition counter, trigger output features continue to work as normal. Encoder mode and External clock mode 2 are not compatible and must not be selected together.
In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of the incremental encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder's position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor.
Table 96 summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 do not switch at the same time.
Table 96. Counting direction versus encoder signals
| Active edge | Level on opposite signal (TI1FP1 for TI2, TI2FP2 for TI1) | TI1FP1 signal | TI2FP2 signal | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rising | Falling | Rising | Falling | ||
| Counting on TI1 only | High | Down | Up | No Count | No Count |
| Low | Up | Down | No Count | No Count | |
| Counting on TI2 only | High | No Count | No Count | Up | Down |
| Low | No Count | No Count | Down | Up | |
| Counting on TI1 and TI2 | High | Down | Up | Up | Down |
| Low | Up | Down | Down | Up | |
An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external interface logic. However, comparators are normally used to convert the encoder's differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third encoder output which indicate the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.
Figure 118 gives an example of counter operation, showing count signal generation and direction control. It also shows how input jitter is compensated where both edges are selected. This might occur if the sensor is positioned near to one of the switching points. For this example we assume that the configuration is the following:
- • CC1S='01' (TIMx_CCMR1 register, TI1FP1 mapped on TI1).
- • CC2S='01' (TIMx_CCMR1 register, TI1FP2 mapped on TI2).
- • CC1P='0', CC1NP='0', and IC1F = '0000' (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP1 non-inverted, TI1FP1=TI1).
- • CC2P='0', CC2NP='0', and IC2F = '0000' (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP2 non-inverted, TI1FP2= TI2).
- • SMS='011' (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling edges).
- • CEN='1' (TIMx_CR1 register, Counter enabled).
Figure 118. Example of counter operation in encoder interface mode

Figure 119 gives an example of counter behavior when TI1FP1 polarity is inverted (same configuration as above except CC1P='1').
Figure 119. Example of encoder interface mode with TI1FP1 polarity inverted

The timer, when configured in Encoder Interface mode provides information on the sensor's current position. Dynamic information can be obtained (speed, acceleration, deceleration) by measuring the period between two encoder events using a second timer configured in capture mode. The output of the encoder which indicates the mechanical zero can be used for this purpose. Depending on the time between two events, the counter can also be read at regular times. This can be done by latching the counter value into a third input capture register if available (then the capture signal must be periodic and can be generated by another timer). When available, it is also possible to read its value through a DMA request generated by a real-time clock.
16.3.17 Timer input XOR function
The TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to the output of a XOR gate, combining the three input pins TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2 and TIMx_CH3.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input capture. An example of this feature used to interface Hall sensors is given in Section 16.3.18 below.
16.3.18 Interfacing with Hall sensors
This is done using the advanced-control timers (TIM1 or TIM8) to generate PWM signals to drive the motor and another timer TIMx (TIM2, TIM3, TIM4 or TIM5) referred to as “interfacing timer” in Figure 120 . The “interfacing timer” captures the 3 timer input pins (TIMx_CH1, TIMx_CH2, and TIMx_CH3) connected through a XOR to the TI1 input channel (selected by setting the TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register).
The slave mode controller is configured in reset mode; the slave input is TI1F_ED. Thus, each time one of the 3 inputs toggles, the counter restarts counting from 0. This creates a time base triggered by any change on the Hall inputs.
On the “interfacing timer”, capture/compare channel 1 is configured in capture mode, capture signal is TRC (see Figure 103 ). The captured value, which corresponds to the time elapsed between 2 changes on the inputs, gives information about motor speed.
The “interfacing timer” can be used in output mode to generate a pulse which changes the configuration of the channels of the advanced-control timer (TIM1 or TIM8) (by triggering a COM event). The TIM1 timer is used to generate PWM signals to drive the motor. To do this, the interfacing timer channel must be programmed so that a positive pulse is generated after a programmed delay (in output compare or PWM mode). This pulse is sent to the advanced-control timer (TIM1 or TIM8) through the TRGO output.
Example: one wants to change the PWM configuration of the advanced-control timer TIM1 after a programmed delay each time a change occurs on the Hall inputs connected to one of the TIMx timers.
- • Configure 3 timer inputs ORed to the TI1 input channel by writing the TI1S bit in the TIMx_CR2 register to ‘1’,
- • Program the time base: write the TIMx_ARR to the max value (the counter must be cleared by the TI1 change. Set the prescaler to get a maximum counter period longer than the time between 2 changes on the sensors,
- • Program channel 1 in capture mode (TRC selected): write the CC1S bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register to ‘11’. The digital filter can also be programmed if needed,
- • Program channel 2 in PWM 2 mode with the desired delay: write the OC2M bits to ‘111’ and the CC2S bits to ‘00’ in the TIMx_CCMR1 register,
- • Select OC2REF as trigger output on TRGO: write the MMS bits in the TIMx_CR2 register to ‘101’,
In the advanced-control timer TIM1, the right ITR input must be selected as trigger input, the timer is programmed to generate PWM signals, the capture/compare control signals are preloaded (CCPC=1 in the TIMx_CR2 register) and the COM event is controlled by the trigger input (CCUS=1 in the TIMx_CR2 register). The PWM control bits (CCxE, OCxM) are written after a COM event for the next step (this can be done in an interrupt subroutine generated by the rising edge of OC2REF).
Figure 120 describes this example.
Figure 120. Example of Hall sensor interface

The timing diagram illustrates the operation of a Hall sensor interface using advanced-control timers. It is divided into two main sections: 'Interfacing timer' and 'Advanced-control timers'.
- Interfacing timer:
- TIH1, TIH2, TIH3: Hall sensor inputs. TIH1 and TIH2 are high during the first half of the cycle, while TIH3 is high during the second half.
- Counter (CNT): A sawtooth wave that resets when any of the TIH inputs go high.
- (CCR2): A dashed horizontal line representing a constant compare value for the counter.
- CCR1: Shows a sequence of compare values: C7A3, C7A8, C794, C7A5, C7AB, and C796.
- TRGO=OC2REF: A square wave that toggles state at each CCR1 compare match.
- Advanced-control timers:
- COM: A pulse-width modulated signal that is high for a short duration at the start of each half-cycle.
- OC1: A PWM signal that is active (high-frequency pulses) during the first half-cycle and inactive (low) during the second half-cycle.
- OC1N: The inverse of OC1, which is low during the first half-cycle and high during the second half-cycle.
- OC2: A PWM signal that is active during the second half-cycle and inactive during the first half-cycle.
- OC2N: The inverse of OC2, which is high during the first half-cycle and low during the second half-cycle.
- OC3: A PWM signal that is active during the first half-cycle and inactive during the second half-cycle.
- OC3N: The inverse of OC3, which is low during the first half-cycle and high during the second half-cycle.
At the bottom of the diagram, eight arrows point to specific time intervals with the text: "Write CCxE, CCxNE and OCxM for next step". The identifier "ai17335b" is located in the bottom right corner.
16.3.19 TIMx and external trigger synchronization
The TIMx timer 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:
- • Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, we do not need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured. The CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write CC1P=0 and CC1NP='0' in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edges only).
- • 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.
- • 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, or a DMA request can be sent if enabled (depending on the TIE and TDE bits 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 121. Control circuit in reset mode

The timing diagram illustrates the behavior of the timer in reset mode. The TI1 input signal is shown at the top. Below it, the UG (Update Generation) signal is a pulse that goes high when TI1 rises. The Counter clock (ck_cnt = ck_psc) is a periodic square wave. The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 00, 01, 02, 03. The counter resets to 00 when TI1 rises. The TIF (Trigger Interrupt Flag) is a pulse that goes high when the counter resets to 00. The diagram is labeled MS31401V1 in the bottom right corner.
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:
- • Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, we do not need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured. The CC1S bits select the input capture source only, CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write CC1P=1 and CC1NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).
- • 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.
- • Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the counter doesn't 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 122. Control circuit in gated mode
Timing diagram showing the relationship between TI1, CNT_EN, Counter clock (ck_cnt = ck_psc), Counter register, and TIF. The counter register values shown are 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. The TIF flag is set when the counter starts or stops, and must be cleared by writing TIF=0.
MS31402V3
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:
- • Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration (in this example, we do not need any filter, so we keep IC2F=0000). The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured. The CC2S bits are configured to select the input capture source only, CC2S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write CC2P=1 and CC2NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).
- • 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.
Figure 123. Control circuit in trigger mode

The diagram illustrates the timing relationship between the TI2 input, the counter enable (CNT_EN), the counter clock, the counter register, and the TIF flag.
- TI2: Shows a rising edge that triggers the counter.
- CNT_EN: The counter enable signal goes high at the rising edge of TI2.
- Counter clock = ck_cnt = ck_psc: A periodic square wave clock signal.
- Counter register: Shows the count values. It starts at 34 and increments to 35, 36, 37, and 38 upon each rising edge of the counter clock, which is triggered by the TI2 input.
- TIF: The TIF flag goes high at the rising edge of TI2 and then low.
Slave mode: external clock mode 2 + trigger mode
The external clock mode 2 can be used in addition to another slave mode (except external clock mode 1 and encoder mode). In this case, the ETR signal is used as external clock input, and another input can be selected as trigger input (in reset mode, gated mode or trigger mode). It is recommended not to select ETR as TRGI through the TS bits of TIMx_SMCR register.
In the following example, the upcounter is incremented at each rising edge of the ETR signal as soon as a rising edge of TI1 occurs:
- 1. Configure the external trigger input circuit by programming the TIMx_SMCR register as follows:
- – ETF = 0000: no filter
- – ETPS = 00: prescaler disabled
- – ETP = 0: detection of rising edges on ETR and ECE=1 to enable the external clock mode 2.
- 2. Configure the channel 1 as follows, to detect rising edges on TI1:
- – IC1F=0000: no filter.
- – The capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be configured.
- – CC1S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register to select only the input capture source
- – CC1P=0 and CC1NP='0' in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edge only).
- 3. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS=101 in TIMx_SMCR register.
A rising edge on TI1 enables the counter and sets the TIF flag. The counter then counts on ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge of the ETR signal and the actual reset of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on ETRP input.
Figure 124. Control circuit in external clock mode 2 + trigger mode

The timing diagram illustrates the control circuit in external clock mode 2 + trigger mode. It shows the following signals over time:
- TI1: A signal that goes high at the start of the sequence.
- CEN/CNT_EN: Counter Enable signal. It goes high when TI1 goes high.
- ETR: External Trigger signal. It is a periodic square wave.
- Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC: The clock for the counter. It is enabled by CEN/CNT_EN and its frequency is determined by CK_PSC. It is shown as a series of pulses.
- Counter register: The register that counts the clock pulses. It shows values 34, 35, and 36. The count increments on the rising edges of the counter clock.
- TIF: Timer Interrupt Flag. It goes high when TI1 goes high and is reset by software.
The diagram shows that the counter is enabled by a rising edge on TI1. Once enabled, it counts the rising edges of the ETR signal (which are also the rising edges of the counter clock). The counter register values shown are 34, 35, and 36, indicating that the counter is counting up. The TIF flag is set when TI1 goes high.

- 1: Counter stops counting at the next update event (clearing the bit CEN)
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 generate 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, CCRx). 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: External clock, gated mode and encoder 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.

0: The TIMx_CH1 pin is connected to TI1 input
1: The TIMx_CH1, CH2 and CH3 pins are connected to the TI1 input (XOR combination)
Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0] : Master mode selection
These bits allow 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 trigger output (TRGO). If the 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 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 enable. 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 TIMx_SMCR register).
010: Update - The update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO). For instance a master timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.
011: Compare Pulse - The trigger output send a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to be set (even if it was already high), as soon as a capture or a compare match occurred. (TRGO).
100: Compare - OC1REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
101: Compare - OC2REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
110: Compare - OC3REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
111: Compare - OC4REF signal is used as trigger output (TRGO)
Bit 3 CCDS : Capture/compare DMA selection
0: CCx DMA request sent when CCx event occurs
1: CCx DMA requests sent when update event occurs
Bit 2 CCUS : Capture/compare control update selection
0: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC=1), they are updated by setting the COMG bit only
1: When capture/compare control bits are preloaded (CCPC=1), they are updated by setting the COMG bit or when an rising edge occurs on TRGI
Note: This bit acts only on channels that have a complementary output.
Bit 1 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 0 CCPC : Capture/compare preloaded control
0: CCxE, CCxNE and OCxM bits are not preloaded
1: CCxE, CCxNE and OCxM bits are preloaded, after having been written, they are updated only when a commutation event (COM) occurs (COMG bit set or rising edge detected on TRGI, depending on the CCUS bit).
Note: This bit acts only on channels that have a complementary output.

Bit 15 ETP : External trigger polarity
This bit selects whether ETR or \( \overline{ETR} \) is used for trigger operations
0: ETR is non-inverted, active at high level or rising edge.
1: ETR is inverted, active at low level or falling edge.
Bit 14 ECE : External clock enable
This bit enables External clock mode 2.
0: External clock mode 2 disabled
1: External clock mode 2 enabled. The counter is clocked by any active edge on the ETRF signal.
Note: 1: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with TRGI connected to ETRF (SMS=111 and TS=111).
2: It is possible to simultaneously use external clock mode 2 with the following slave modes: reset mode, gated mode and trigger mode. Nevertheless, TRGI must not be connected to ETRF in this case (TS bits must not be 111).
3: If external clock mode 1 and external clock mode 2 are enabled at the same time, the external clock input is ETRF.
Bits 13:12 ETPS[1:0] : External trigger prescaler
External trigger signal ETRP frequency must be at most 1/4 of TIMxCLK frequency. A prescaler can be enabled to reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external clocks.
00: Prescaler OFF
01: ETRP frequency divided by 2
10: ETRP frequency divided by 4
11: ETRP frequency divided by 8
Bits 11:8 ETF[3:0] : External trigger filterThis bit-field then defines the frequency used to sample ETRP signal and the length of the digital filter applied to ETRP. The digital filter is made of an event counter in which N consecutive events are needed to validate a transition on the output:
0000: No filter, sampling is done at \( f_{\text{DTS}} \)
0001: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}}=f_{\text{CK\_INT}} \) , N=2
0010: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}}=f_{\text{CK\_INT}} \) , N=4

1110: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}}=f_{\text{DTS}}/32 \) , N=6
1111: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}}=f_{\text{DTS}}/32 \) , N=8
Bit 7 MSM : Master/slave mode0: No action
1: The effect of an event on the trigger input (TRGI) is delayed to allow a perfect synchronization between the current timer and its slaves (through TRGO). It is useful if we want to synchronize several timers on a single external event.
Bits 6:4 TS[2:0] : Trigger selectionThis bit-field selects the trigger input to be used to synchronize the counter.

111: External Trigger input (ETRF)
See Table 97: TIMx Internal trigger connection for more details on ITRx meaning for each Timer.
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 description.
000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = '1' then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal clock.
001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP1 edge depending on TI2FP2 level.
010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP2 edge depending on TI1FP1 level.
011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges depending on the level of the other input.
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. Both start and stop of the counter are controlled.
110: Trigger Mode - The counter starts at 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.

16.4.7 TIM1&TIM8 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 one must take care that the same bit can have a different meaning for the input stage and for the output stage.

Bit 10 OC2FE : Output Compare 2 fast enable
Bits 9:8 CC2S[1:0] : Capture/Compare 2 selection
This bit-field defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.
00: CC2 channel is configured as output
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 is working only if an internal trigger input is selected through the TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)
Note: CC2S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC2E = '0' in TIMx_CCER).
Bit 7 OC1CE : Output Compare 1 clear enable
OC1CE: Output Compare 1 Clear Enable
0: OC1Ref is not affected by the ETRF Input
1: OC1Ref is cleared as soon as a High level is detected on ETRF input
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 OC1 and OC1N active level depends on CC1P and CC1NP bits.
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. 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 - In upcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else inactive. In downcounting, channel 1 is inactive (OC1REF='0') as long as TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCR1 else active (OC1REF='1').
111: PWM mode 2 - In upcounting, channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else active. In downcounting, channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCR1 else inactive.
Note: 1: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S='00' (the channel is configured in output).
2: 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.
3: On channels having a complementary output, this bit field is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the OC1M active bits take the new value from the preloaded bits only when a COM event is generated.
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.
Note: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S='00' (the channel is configured in output).
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. Then, OC is set to the compare level independently from the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. OCFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

00: non-inverted/rising edge
The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 rising edge (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted (trigger operation in gated mode or encoder mode).
01: inverted/falling edge
The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 falling edge (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is inverted (trigger operation in gated mode or encoder mode).
10: reserved, do not use this configuration.
11: non-inverted/both edges
The circuit is sensitive to both TIxFP1 rising and falling edges (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted (trigger operation in gated mode). This configuration must not be used in encoder mode.
Note: On channels having a complementary output, this bit is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the CC1P active bit takes the new value from the preloaded bit only when a Commutation event is generated.
Note: This bit is not writable as soon as LOCK level 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
Bit 0 CC1E : Capture/Compare 1 output enable

Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 7:0 REP[7:0] : Repetition counter value
These bits allow the user to set-up the update rate of the compare registers (i.e. periodic transfers from preload to active registers) when preload registers are enable, as well as the update interrupt generation rate, if this interrupt is enable.
Each time the REP_CNT related downcounter reaches zero, an update event is generated and it restarts counting from REP value. As REP_CNT is reloaded with REP value only at the repetition update event U_RC, any write to the TIMx_RCR register is not taken in account until the next repetition update event.
It means in PWM mode (REP+1) corresponds to:
- – the number of PWM periods in edge-aligned mode
- – the number of half PWM period in center-aligned mode.

Bits 15:13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 12:8 DBL[4:0] : DMA burst length
This 5-bit vector defines the number of DMA transfers (the timer detects a burst transfer when a read or a write access to the TIMx_DMAR register address is performed).
00000: 1 transfer
00001: 2 transfers
00010: 3 transfers
...
10001: 18 transfers
Bits 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 4:0 DBA[4:0] : DMA base address
This 5-bits vector defines the base-address for DMA transfers (when read/write access are done through the TIMx_DMAR address). DBA is defined as an offset starting from the address of the TIMx_CR1 register.
Example:
00000: TIMx_CR1,
00001: TIMx_CR2,
00010: TIMx_SMCR,
...
Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 transfers and DBA = TIMx_CR1. In this case the transfer is done to/from 7 registers starting from the TIMx_CR1 address.

Bits 15:0 DMAB[15:0] : DMA register for burst accesses
A read or write operation to the DMAR register accesses the register located at the address
\(
(\text{TIMx\_CR1 address}) + (\text{DBA} + \text{DMA index}) \times 4
\)
where TIMx_CR1 address is the address of the control register 1, DBA is the DMA base address configured in TIMx_DCR register, DMA index is automatically controlled by the DMA transfer, and ranges from 0 to DBL (DBL configured in TIMx_DCR).
Example of how to use the DMA burst feature
In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx registers (x = 2, 3, 4) with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:
- Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
- – DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address
- – DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM containing the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.
- – Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).
- – Circular mode disabled.
- Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE. - Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).
- Enable TIMx
- Enable the DMA channel
Note: This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once. If every CCRx register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. Let's take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and data6. The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows: on the first update DMA request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to
CCR4 and on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.
