19. Advanced-control timer (TIM1)

In this section, “TIMx” should be understood as “TIM1” since there is only one instance of this type of timer for the products to which this reference manual applies.

19.1 TIM1 introduction

The advanced-control timer (TIM1) consists 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 lengths 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) and general-purpose (TIMy) timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as described in Section 19.3.26: Timer synchronization .

19.2 TIM1 main features

TIM1 timer features include:

Advanced-control timer block diagram showing internal clock (CK_INT), ETR, TI1-TI4 inputs, capture/compare registers, counter, and output controls.

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of the Advanced-control timer (TIM1). At the top, the internal clock (CK_INT) from the RCC is fed into the Trigger controller, Slave controller mode, and Encoder Interface. The ETR input is processed through a polarity selection & edgedetector & prescaler (ETRP) and an input filter to generate ETRF. On-chip ETR sources are also input to this stage. The ITR[0..15] and TI1F_ED inputs are processed through a prescaler (ITR) and an input filter to generate TRC. The TRC signal is fed into the Trigger controller and Slave controller mode. The TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 inputs are fed into the Encoder Interface. The Trigger controller generates the TRGO signal to other timers and peripherals. The Slave controller mode provides Reset, enable, up/down, and count signals. The Encoder Interface provides the up/down count signal. The Auto-reload register (U) and REP register (U) are connected to the Repetition counter (U). The PSC prescaler (CK_PSC) and CNT counter (+/-) are connected to the Auto-reload register. The CNT counter is connected to the Capture/Compare 1 register, Capture/Compare 2 register, Capture/Compare 3 register, Capture/Compare 4 register, Capture/Compare 5 register, and Capture/Compare 6 register. The Capture/Compare 1 register is connected to the IC1 prescaler and DTG register. The Capture/Compare 2 register is connected to the IC2 prescaler and DTG register. The Capture/Compare 3 register is connected to the IC3 prescaler and DTG register. The Capture/Compare 4 register is connected to the IC4 prescaler and DTG register. The Capture/Compare 5 register is connected to the OC5REF output control. The Capture/Compare 6 register is connected to the OC6REF output control. The TIMx_CH1 input is processed through an XOR gate and an input filter & edge detector to generate TI1. The TIMx_CH2 input is processed through an input filter & edge detector to generate TI2. The TIMx_CH3 input is processed through an input filter & edge detector to generate TI3. The TIMx_CH4 input is processed through an input filter & edge detector to generate TI4. The TIMx_BKIN input is connected to the Break and Break2 circuitry (1). The TIMx_BKIN2 input is connected to the Break and Break2 circuitry (1). The Break and Break2 circuitry (1) generates the BRK request and B2IF signals. The SBIF signal is generated by the internal sources. The legend indicates that a 'Reg' symbol represents a preload register transferred to active registers on a U event according to control bit, an 'Event' symbol represents an event, and an 'Interrupt & DMA output' symbol represents an interrupt & DMA output. The diagram is labeled MSV40115V4.

19.3 TIM1 functional description

19.3.1 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:

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 116 and Figure 117 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly:

Figure 116. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 2

Timing diagram for Figure 116 showing counter timing with prescaler division change from 1 to 2. It includes signals for CK_PSC, CEN, Timerclock = CK_CNT, Counter register, Update event (UEV), Prescaler control register, Prescaler buffer, and Prescaler counter.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of an advanced-control timer (TIM1) when the prescaler division is changed from 1 to 2. The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), the counter enable (CEN), the timer clock (Timerclock = CK_CNT), the counter register, the update event (UEV), the prescaler control register, the prescaler buffer, and the prescaler counter.

The diagram shows that when the prescaler control register is updated from 0 to 1, the prescaler buffer is updated, and the prescaler counter starts counting from 0 to 1, effectively doubling the prescaler division. The counter register continues to count from 00 to 03. The timer clock (CK_CNT) frequency is halved after the prescaler division change.

Figure 117. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 4

Timing diagram for Figure 117 showing counter timing with prescaler division change from 1 to 4. It includes signals for CK_PSC, CEN, Timerclock = CK_CNT, Counter register, Update event (UEV), Prescaler control register, Prescaler buffer, and Prescaler counter.

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of an advanced-control timer (TIM1) when the prescaler division is changed from 1 to 4. The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), the counter enable (CEN), the timer clock (Timerclock = CK_CNT), the counter register, the update event (UEV), the prescaler control register, the prescaler buffer, and the prescaler counter.

The diagram shows that when the prescaler control register is updated from 0 to 3, the prescaler buffer is updated, and the prescaler counter starts counting from 0 to 3, effectively quadrupling the prescaler division. The counter register continues to count from 00 to 01. The timer clock (CK_CNT) frequency is divided by four after the prescaler division change.

19.3.2 Counter modes

Upcounting mode

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

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

This timing diagram illustrates the operation of the counter when the internal clock is divided by 4. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CNT_EN is shown as a high-level signal. The Timerclock = CK_CNT signal has a frequency that is one-fourth of the CK_PSC frequency.

Timing diagram for ARPE=1 showing counter overflow and update event with preloaded 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 (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 following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.

Figure 128. Counter timing diagram, update event when repetition counter is not used Figure 128. Counter timing diagram, update event when repetition counter is not used. The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), enable signal (CEN), timer clock (CK_CNT), counter register values, counter underflow, update event (UEV), update interrupt flag (UIF), and auto-reload preload register. The counter counts down from 05 to 00, then overflows to 36 and counts down to 2F. An update event occurs at the underflow point (00 to 36).

The timing diagram illustrates the operation of the counter. The CK_PSC signal is a periodic clock. The CEN signal is active-low and enables the counter. The Timerclock = CK_CNT is derived from CK_PSC. The Counter register shows values decreasing from 05 to 00, then jumping to 36 and continuing to decrease to 2F. The Counter underflow signal is active-low and pulses when the counter reaches 00. The Update event (UEV) is active-low and pulses at the underflow. The Update interrupt flag (UIF) is active-low and is set by the underflow. The Auto-reload preload register contains the value FF, which is updated to 36 when a new value is written to TIMx_ARR.

Figure 128. Counter timing diagram, update event when repetition counter is not used. The diagram shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (CK_PSC), enable signal (CEN), timer clock (CK_CNT), counter register values, counter underflow, update event (UEV), update interrupt flag (UIF), and auto-reload preload register. The counter counts down from 05 to 00, then overflows to 36 and counts down to 2F. An update event occurs at the underflow point (00 to 36).

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 following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies.

Figure 129. Counter timing diagram, internal clock divided by 1, TIMx_ARR = 0x6

Timing diagram for TIM1 counter behavior in center-aligned mode 1.

The timing diagram illustrates the relationship between several signals over time. The top signal, CK_PSC, is a periodic square wave. Below it, CEN (Counter Enable) is shown as a horizontal line that goes high at the first rising edge of CK_PSC. The third signal, Timerclock = CK_CNT, is a square wave that starts at the second rising edge of CK_PSC. The fourth signal, Counter register, shows a sequence of hexadecimal values: 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 05, 04, 03. This sequence indicates a center-aligned mode where the counter counts down from 04 to 00 and then up to 06. The fifth signal, Counter underflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 00. The sixth signal, Counter overflow, is a pulse that goes high when the counter reaches 06. The seventh signal, Update event (UEV), is a pulse that goes high at the rising edge of CK_PSC immediately following the counter overflow. The bottom signal, Update interrupt flag (UIF), is a pulse that goes high at the rising edge of CK_PSC immediately following the update event. The diagram is labeled MS31189V3 in the bottom right corner.

The counter decrements from 20 to 1F, then from 01 to 00. A Counter underflow event occurs when the counter reaches 00. The Update event (UEV) and Update interrupt flag (UIF) are shown as pulses that occur at the counter underflow. The diagram is labeled MS31192V1 in the bottom right corner.

19.3.3 Repetition counter

Section 19.3.1: 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.
  1. Although this limits the maximum number of repetition to 32768 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 135 ). 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 launched: if the RCR was written before launching the counter, the UEV occurs on the underflow. If the RCR was written after launching the counter, the UEV occurs on the overflow.

For example, for RCR = 3, the UEV is generated each 4th overflow or underflow event depending on when the RCR was written.

19.3.4 External trigger input

The timer features an external trigger input ETR. It can be used as:

Figure 136 below describes the ETR input conditioning. The input polarity is defined with the ETP bit in TIMxSMCR register. The trigger can be prescaled with the divider programmed by the ETPS[1:0] bitfield and digitally filtered with the ETF[3:0] bitfield.

Figure 136. External trigger input block

Figure 136: External trigger input block diagram. The diagram shows the signal flow from the ETR input through a polarity inverter (controlled by ETP bit in TIMx_SMCR), a divider (controlled by ETPS[1:0] bitfield in TIMx_SMCR), and a filter downcounter (controlled by ETF[3:0] bitfield in TIMx_SMCR). The output is labeled ETRP and is connected to the Output mode controller, CK_PSC circuitry, and the Slave mode controller. The diagram is labeled MS34403V2.

The output is labeled ETRP and is connected to the Output mode controller, CK_PSC circuitry, and the Slave mode controller. The diagram is labeled MS34403V2.

The ETR input comes from multiple sources: input pins (default configuration) and analog watchdogs. The selection is done with the ETRSEL[3:0] and the TIM1_OR1[1:0] bitfields.

It includes an OR gate that combines the ETR inputs from the AF controller and the output of a multiplexer. The multiplexer is controlled by the TIM1_OR1[1:0] bitfield and has inputs for NC, ADC_AWD1, ADC_AWD2, and ADC_AWD3. The output of the OR gate is labeled 'ETR legacy mode' and is connected to a multiplexer controlled by the TIM1_AF1[17:14] bitfield. The final output is labeled 'ETR input'. The diagram is labeled MSv63010V2.

19.3.5 Clock selection

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

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

Figure 138. Control circuit in normal mode, internal clock divided by 1

Timing diagram showing the control circuit and counter register behavior in normal mode with internal clock divided by 1.

The timing diagram illustrates the relationship between several signals over time. The top signal, 'Internal clock', is a continuous square wave. Below it, 'CEN=CNT_EN' is a control signal that goes high at a certain point. The 'UG' (Update Generation) signal is shown as a pulse that occurs when CEN is high and is followed by a 'Counter initialization (internal)' signal. The 'Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC' signal is a square wave that starts when CEN goes high. The bottom signal, 'Counter register', shows a sequence of 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 counter clock until it reaches 36, at which point it resets to 00 and continues counting. Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the signals and the counter values.

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 139. TI2 external clock connection example

Block diagram showing the TI2 external clock connection for TIM1. It illustrates the signal flow from TI2 input pins through a filter, edge detector, and multiplexer to the encoder mode and external clock mode inputs. Control registers like TIMx_SMCR, TIMx_CCMR1, and TIMx_CCER are shown with their respective bit settings for configuration.

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture for using the TI2 input as an external clock source. The TI2 input pins (TI2[0] and TI2[1..15]) are connected to a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer passes through an input filter (configured by ICF[3:0] in TIMx_CCMR1) and an edge detector. The edge detector outputs are TI2F_Rising and TI2F_Falling. These signals are then multiplexed (controlled by CC2P in TIMx_CCER) to select between rising and falling edges. The selected edge signal is then connected to the TRGI input of the timer. The TRGI input is configured by the TIMx_SMCR register, specifically the TS[4:0] bits. The diagram shows that for external clock mode 1, the trigger source can be ITRx, TI1_ED, TI1FP1, TI2FP2, or ETRF. For external clock mode 2, the trigger source can be ETRF. For internal clock mode, the trigger source is CK_INT. The encoder mode is also shown. The capture prescaler (CK_PSC) is indicated as an output.

  1. 1. Codes ranging from 01000 to 11111 are reserved

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

  1. 1. Select the proper TI2x source (internal or external) with the TI2SEL[3:0] bits in the TIMx_TISEL register.
  2. 2. Configure channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input by writing CC2S = '01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  3. 3. 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).
  4. 4. Select rising edge polarity by writing CC2P=0 and CC2NP=0 in the TIMx_CCER register.
  5. 5. Configure the timer in external clock mode 1 by writing SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  6. 6. Select TI2 as the trigger input source by writing TS=00110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  7. 7. Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.

Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so the user does not need to configure it.

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

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

Figure 140. Control circuit in external clock mode 1

Timing diagram for external clock mode 1. It shows five waveforms: TI2 (a periodic square wave), CNT_EN (a signal that goes high when TI2 is high), Counter clock = CK_CNT = CK_PSC (a pulse train that toggles when both TI2 and CNT_EN are high), Counter register (showing values 34, 35, 36), and TIF (a signal that goes high when the counter overflows from 36 to 34). Arrows indicate that writing TIF=0 clears the TIF flag.

Arrows indicate that writing TIF=0 clears the TIF flag.

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.

The Figure 141 gives an overview of the external trigger input block.

Figure 141. External trigger input block

Block diagram of the external trigger input block. The ETR pin is connected to a multiplexer controlled by TIM1_AF1[17:14] and TIM1_OR1[1:0]. The output of the multiplexer is ETR. ETR is also connected to an inverter and a divider (/1, /2, /4, /8) controlled by ETPS[1:0] in TIMx_SMCR. The output of the divider is ETRP. ETRP is connected to a filter downcounter controlled by ETF[3:0] in TIMx_SMCR. The output of the filter downcounter is ETRF. ETRF is connected to a multiplexer controlled by ECE and SMS[2:0] in TIMx_SMCR. The output of this multiplexer is CK_PSC. The multiplexer has four inputs: TI2F or TI1F (rising or falling edge), TRGI (rising edge), ETRF (rising edge), and CK_INT (internal clock).

1. Refer to Figure 137: TIM1 ETR input circuitry.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the following procedure:

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. As a consequence, the maximum frequency which can be correctly captured by the counter is at most 1/4 of TIMxCLK frequency. When the ETRP signal is faster, the user should apply a division of the external signal by proper ETPS prescaler setting.

The timing diagram illustrates the control circuit in external clock mode 2. It shows the following signals and their relationship over time:

Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing relationships between the rising edges of ETR, the resynchronized ETRP signal, the ETRF pulse, and the resulting counter clock and register updates. The counter register values 34, 35, and 36 are shown at the bottom, with 35 appearing twice, indicating that the counter increments every two ETR rising edges.

19.3.6 Capture/compare channels

Each Capture/Compare channel is built around a capture/compare register (including a shadow register), an input stage for capture (with digital filter, multiplexing, and prescaler, except for channels 5 and 6) and an output stage (with comparator and output control).

Figure 143 to Figure 146 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 143. Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage)

Figure 143: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) block diagram.

This block diagram illustrates the input stage of a capture/compare channel. The input signal TIMx_CH1 is processed through a multiplexer (selecting between TI1[0] and TI1[1..15]) controlled by TIMx_TISEL[3:0]. The selected signal passes through a 'Filter downcounter' block, which is configured by ICF[3:0] from TIMx_CCMR1. The output of the filter is TI1F. This signal is then processed by an 'Edge detector' block, which generates TI1F_Rising and TI1F_Falling signals. These signals are combined with TI2FP1 (from channel 2) and TRC (from the slave mode controller) in a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer is TI1F_ED, which is sent to the slave mode controller. The signal also passes through another multiplexer (selecting between TI1F_ED and TI2FP1) to generate IC1. This signal is then processed by a 'Divider /1, /2, /4, /8' block, which is configured by ICPS[1:0] from TIMx_CCMR1. The output of the divider is IC1PS. The entire input stage is controlled by various registers: TIMx_TISEL[3:0], ICF[3:0] (TIMx_CCMR1), CC1P/CC1NP, TIMx_CCER, TI2F_Rising and TI2F_Falling (from channel 2), CC1S[1:0] (TIMx_CCMR1), ICPS[1:0] (TIMx_CCMR1), and CC1E (TIMx_CCER).

Figure 143: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) block diagram.

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 144. Capture/compare channel 1 main circuit

Figure 144: Capture/compare channel 1 main circuit block diagram.

This block diagram shows the main circuit of a capture/compare channel. It is divided into 'Input mode' and 'Output mode'. In 'Input mode', the APB Bus connects to an 'MCU-peripheral interface', which in turn connects to a 'Capture/compare preload register'. This register is connected to a 'compare shadow register', which is connected to a 'Counter'. The 'Counter' output is compared with the 'compare shadow register' output in a 'Comparator' block, which generates CNT>CCR1 and CNT=CCR1 signals. The 'Comparator' output is also connected to a 'Capture' block, which is controlled by CC1S[1], CC1S[0], IC1PS, CC1E, and CC1G (from TIMx_EGR). The 'Capture' block is connected to the 'Capture/compare preload register'. In 'Output mode', the 'Capture/compare preload register' is connected to a 'compare transfer' block, which is connected to the 'compare shadow register'. The 'compare shadow register' is connected to the 'Counter'. The 'Counter' output is compared with the 'compare shadow register' output in a 'Comparator' block, which generates CNT>CCR1 and CNT=CCR1 signals. The 'Comparator' output is also connected to an 'OC1PE' block, which is controlled by CC1S[1], CC1S[0], OC1PE, and UEV (from the time base unit). The 'OC1PE' block is connected to the 'OC1PE' output. The entire circuit is controlled by the APB Bus, MCU-peripheral interface, Capture/compare preload register, compare shadow register, Counter, Comparator, and various control signals from TIMx_EGR and TIMx_CCMR1.

Figure 145. Output stage of capture/compare channel (channel 1, idem ch. 2 and 3)

Schematic diagram of the output stage for capture/compare channels 1, 2, and 3. It shows the signal flow from TIMx_SMCR and OCREF_CLR inputs through an output mode controller and output selector to a dead-time generator and finally to output enable circuits for OC1 and OC1N. Control registers TIM1_CCMR1, TIM1_BDTR, TIM1_CCER, and TIM1_CR2 are shown with their respective bits.

The diagram illustrates the output stage for capture/compare channels 1, 2, and 3. At the top left, the TIMx_SMCR register's OCCS bit and the OCREF_CLR input (with ETRF and ocref_clr_int signals) are connected to a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer is OC1REF. Below this, the output mode controller receives inputs from CNT>CCR1, CNT=CCR1, and OCxREF (where x is the rank of the complementary channel). The output mode controller's output is connected to an output selector. The output selector also receives inputs from OC1REF and OC5REF. The output of the output selector is OC1REFC, which is sent to the master mode controller. The OC1REFC signal is also connected to a dead-time generator. The dead-time generator outputs OC1_DT and OC1N_DT. These signals are then processed by a series of multiplexers and inverters. The first multiplexer selects between '0' and OC1_DT based on the CC1NE bit in TIM1_CCER. The output of this multiplexer is then inverted and passed through another multiplexer that selects between '0' and OC1N_DT based on the CC1P bit in TIM1_CCER. The output of this second multiplexer is then passed through an output enable circuit to produce the OC1 output. The OC1N output is produced by a similar output enable circuit that receives inputs from the CC1NE and CC1E bits in TIM1_CCER. The TIM1_CCMR1 register contains the OC1CE and OC1M[3:0] bits.

Schematic diagram of the output stage for capture/compare channel 4. It shows the signal flow from TIMx_SMCR and OCREF_CLR inputs through an output mode controller and output selector to a dead-time generator and finally to an output enable circuit for OC4. Control registers TIM1_CCMR2, TIM1_BDTR, TIM1_CCER, and TIM1_CR2 are shown with their respective bits.

The diagram illustrates the output stage for capture/compare channel 4. At the top left, the TIMx_SMCR register's OCCS bit and the OCREF_CLR input (with ETRF and ocref_clr_int signals) are connected to a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer is OC4REF. Below this, the output mode controller receives inputs from CNT>CCR4 and CNT=CCR4. The output mode controller's output is connected to an output selector. The output selector also receives inputs from OC4REF and OC3REF. The output of the output selector is OC4REFC, which is sent to the master mode controller. The OC4REFC signal is also connected to a dead-time generator. The dead-time generator outputs OC4_DT and OC4N_DT. These signals are then processed by a series of multiplexers and inverters. The first multiplexer selects between '0' and OC4_DT based on the CC4E bit in TIM1_CCER. The output of this multiplexer is then inverted and passed through another multiplexer that selects between '0' and OC4N_DT based on the CC4P bit in TIM1_CCER. The output of this second multiplexer is then passed through an output enable circuit to produce the OC4 output. The TIM1_CCMR2 register contains the OC4CE and OC4M[3:0] bits. The TIM1_BDTR register contains the MOE, OSSI, and OSSR bits. The TIM1_CR2 register contains the OIS4 bit. The diagram is labeled MS33100V2.

1. Not available externally.

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.

19.3.7 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 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:

  1. 1. Select the proper TI1x source (internal or external) with the TI1SEL[3:0] bits in the TIMx_TISEL register.
  2. 2. 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.
  3. 3. Program the appropriate input filter duration in relation with the signal connected to the timer (when the input is one of the TIx (ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register). 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.

  1. 4. 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).
  2. 5. 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).
  3. 6. Enable capture from the counter into the capture register by setting the CC1E bit in the TIMx_CCER register.
  4. 7. 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:

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.

19.3.8 PWM input mode

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

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

  1. 1. Select the proper TI1x source (internal or external) with the TI1SEL[3:0] bits in the TIMx_TISEL register.
  2. 2. Select the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
  3. 3. 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).
  4. 4. Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2: write the CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1 selected).
  5. 5. Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in TIMx_CCR2): write the CC2P and CC2NP bits to CC2P/CC2NP='10' (active on falling edge).
  6. 6. Select the valid trigger input: write the TS bits to 00101 in the TIMx_SMCR register (TI1FP1 selected).
  7. 7. Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode: write the SMS bits to 0100 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  8. 8. Enable the captures: write the CC1E and CC2E bits to '1' in the TIMx_CCER register.

Figure 148. PWM input mode timing

Timing diagram for PWM input mode showing TI1, TIMx_CNT, TIMx_CCR1, and TIMx_CCR2 signals. The diagram illustrates the capture of pulse width and period measurements.

The timing diagram shows four horizontal lines representing signals over time. The top line, labeled TI1, shows a periodic square wave. The second line, labeled TIMx_CNT, shows the counter value increasing from 0000 to 0004, then resetting to 0000 and continuing to 0004. The third line, labeled TIMx_CCR1, shows a value of 0004 being captured. The fourth line, labeled TIMx_CCR2, shows a value of 0002 being captured. Below the signals, three annotations with arrows point to specific events: 'IC1 capture IC2 capture reset counter' points to the first rising edge of TI1; 'IC2 capture pulse width measurement' points to the falling edge of TI1; and 'IC1 capture period measurement' points to the second rising edge of TI1. The identifier 'ai15413' is in the bottom right corner.

19.3.9 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, user just needs to write 0101 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 0100 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.

19.3.10 Output compare mode

This function is used to control an output waveform or indicate when a period of time has elapsed. Channels 1 to 4 can be output, while Channel 5 and 6 are only available inside the device (for instance, for compound waveform generation or for ADC triggering).

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

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

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

Procedure

  1. 1. Select the counter clock (internal, external, prescaler).
  2. 2. Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.
  3. 3. Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.
  4. 4. Select the output mode. For example:
    • – Write OCxM = 0011 to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx
    • – Write OCxPE = 0 to disable preload register
    • – Write CCxP = 0 to select active high polarity
    • – Write CCxE = 1 to enable the output
  5. 5. Enable the counter by setting the CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.

The TIMx_CCRx register can be updated at any time by software to control the output waveform, provided that the preload register is not enabled (OCxPE='0', else TIMx_CCRx shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in Figure 149 .

19.3.11 PWM mode

Pulse Width Modulation mode allows a signal to be generated 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 '0110' (PWM mode 1) or '0111' (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 is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to the Upcounting mode on page 537 .

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 150 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

Figure 150. Edge-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)

Timing diagram showing edge-aligned PWM waveforms for different compare register (CCR) values. The counter register (TIMx_CNT) counts from 0 to 8, then reloads to 0. Vertical dashed lines mark the counter values 0, 4, 8, and 0 again. The diagram shows four cases: 1) CCRx=4: OCxREF is high from counter 0 to 3 and low from 4 to 8. CCxIF is set at counter 4. 2) CCRx=8: OCxREF is high from counter 0 to 7 and low at counter 8. CCxIF is set at counter 8. 3) CCRx>8: OCxREF is held high ('1') throughout the period. CCxIF is never set. 4) CCRx=0: OCxREF is held low ('0') throughout the period. CCxIF is never set.

CCxIF is never set. 4) CCRx=0: OCxREF is held low ('0') throughout the period. CCxIF is never set.

Downcounting is active when DIR bit in TIMx_CR1 register is high. Refer to the Downcounting mode on page 541

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 the Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on page 544 .

Figure 151 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:

Timing diagram showing center-aligned PWM waveforms for different CCRx values (4, 7, 8, >8, 0) with ARR=8. The diagram shows the counter register values, OCxREF signal levels, and CCxIF flag status for various CMS settings (01, 10, 11).

The figure illustrates the relationship between the counter register values and the resulting PWM waveforms for different capture/compare register (CCR) values. The counter register values are shown at the top, ranging from 0 to 8 and then back down to 0, with a final value of 1. The OCxREF signal is shown for different CCRx values: CCRx=4, CCRx=7, CCRx=8, CCRx>8, and CCRx=0. The CCxIF flag status is indicated for various CMS (Capture/Compare Mode Selection) settings (CMS=01, CMS=10, CMS=11). The diagram shows that the CCxIF flag is set when the counter counts down to the CCRx value, which is consistent with the center-aligned mode 1 selected for CMS=01.

in the TIMx_CR1 register. Moreover, the DIR and CMS bits must not be changed at the same time by the software.

19.3.12 Asymmetric PWM mode

Asymmetric mode allows two center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with a programmable phase shift. While the frequency is determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and the phase-shift are determined by a pair of TIMx_CCRx register. One register controls the PWM during up-counting, the second during down counting, so that PWM is adjusted every half PWM cycle:

Asymmetric PWM mode can be selected independently on two channel (one OCx output per pair of CCR registers) by writing '1110' (Asymmetric PWM mode 1) or '1111' (Asymmetric PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.

Note: The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.

When a given channel is used as asymmetric PWM channel, its complementary channel can also be used. For instance, if an OC1REFC signal is generated on channel 1 (Asymmetric PWM mode 1), it is possible to output either the OC2REF signal on channel 2, or an OC2REFC signal resulting from asymmetric PWM mode 1.

Figure 152 represents an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM mode (channels 1 to 4 are configured in Asymmetric PWM mode 1). Together with the deadtime generator, this allows a full-bridge phase-shifted DC to DC converter to be controlled.

Below are two PWM signals: OC1REFC (controlled by CCR1=0) and OC3REFC (controlled by CCR3=3). Both signals have a 50% duty cycle. OC1REFC is high from counter value 0 to 4 and low from 4 to 8. OC3REFC is high from counter value 3 to 7 and low from 7 to 3. The signals are phase-shifted by 3 counter units (150 degrees at 1 MHz).

OC3REFC is high from counter value 3 to 7 and low from 7 to 3. The signals are phase-shifted by 3 counter units (150 degrees at 1 MHz).

19.3.13 Combined PWM mode

Combined PWM mode allows two edge or center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with programmable delay and phase shift between respective pulses. While the frequency is determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register, the duty cycle and delay are determined by the two TIMx_CCRx registers. The resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an OR or AND logical combination of two reference PWMs:

Combined PWM mode can be selected independently on two channels (one OCx output per pair of CCR registers) by writing '1100' (Combined PWM mode 1) or '1101' (Combined PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register.

When a given channel is used as combined PWM channel, its complementary channel must be configured in the opposite PWM mode (for instance, one in Combined PWM mode 1 and the other in Combined PWM mode 2).

Note: The OCxM[3:0] bit field is split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant bit is not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.

Figure 153 represents an example of signals that can be generated using Asymmetric PWM mode, obtained with the following configuration:

19.3.14 Combined 3-phase PWM mode

Combined 3-phase PWM mode allows one to three center-aligned PWM signals to be generated with a single programmable signal ANDed in the middle of the pulses. The OC5REF signal is used to define the resulting combined signal. The 3-bits GC5C[3:1] in the TIMx_CCR5 allow selection on which reference signal the OC5REF is combined. The resulting signals, OCxREFC, are made of an AND logical combination of two reference PWMs:

Combined 3-phase PWM mode can be selected independently on channels 1 to 3 by setting at least one of the 3-bits GC5C[3:1].

19.3.15 Complementary outputs and dead-time insertion

The advanced-control timers (TIM1) 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 129: Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break feature on page 613 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. There is one 10-bit dead-time generator for each channel. From a reference waveform OCxREF, it generates 2 outputs OCx and OCxN. If OCx and OCxN are active high:

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 155. Complementary output with dead-time insertion

Timing diagram for Figure 155 showing OCxREF, OCx, and OCxN waveforms with dead-time insertion.

This timing diagram illustrates the relationship between a reference signal (OCxREF) and two complementary output signals (OCx and OCxN) with dead-time insertion. The OCxREF signal is a square wave. The OCx signal follows the OCxREF signal but has a delayed rising edge. The OCxN signal is the inverse of the OCx signal but also has a delayed rising edge. The 'delay' is indicated by double-headed arrows between the rising edges of the reference signal and the output signals. The diagram is labeled MS31095V1 in the bottom right corner.

This timing diagram shows the output signals when the dead-time delay is greater than the width of the negative pulse of the reference signal. The OCxREF signal is a square wave. The OCx signal follows the OCxREF signal but has a delayed rising edge. The OCxN signal is the inverse of the OCx signal but also has a delayed rising edge. The 'delay' is indicated by a double-headed arrow between the rising edges of the reference signal and the output signals. The diagram is labeled MS31096V1 in the bottom right corner.

Timing diagram showing three waveforms: OCxREF, OCx, and OCxN. OCxREF is a pulse that goes high and then low. OCx is initially high and goes low when OCxREF goes high. OCxN is initially low and goes high when OCxREF goes high. A 'delay' is indicated between the falling edge of OCxREF and the falling edge of OCxN. The diagram is labeled MS31097V1.

OCxN is initially low and goes high when OCxREF goes high. A 'delay' is indicated between the falling edge of OCxREF and the falling edge of OCxN. The diagram is labeled MS31097V1.

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 19.4.20: TIM1 break and dead-time register (TIM1_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 a specific waveform to be sent (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.

19.3.16 Using the break function

The purpose of the break function is to protect power switches driven by PWM signals generated with the TIM1 timer. The two break inputs are usually connected to fault outputs of power stages and 3-phase inverters. When activated, the break circuitry shuts down the PWM outputs and forces them to a predefined safe state. A number of internal MCU events can also be selected to trigger an output shut-down.

The break features two channels. A break channel which gathers both system-level fault (clock failure, parity error,...) and application fault (from input pins), and can force the outputs to a predefined level (either active or inactive) after a deadtime duration. A break2 channel which only includes application faults and is able to force the outputs to an inactive state.

The output enable signal and output levels during break are depending on several control bits:

When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. The break functions can be enabled by setting the BKE and BK2E bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input polarities can be selected by configuring the BKP and BK2P bits in the same register. BKE/BK2E and BKP/BK2P can be modified at the same time. When the BKE/BK2E and BKP/BK2P 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, if MOE is set to 1 whereas it was low, a delay must be inserted (dummy instruction) before reading it correctly. This is because the write acts on the asynchronous signal whereas the read reflects the synchronous signal.

The break can be generated from multiple sources which can be individually enabled and with programmable edge sensitivity, using the TIMx_AF1 and TIMx_AF2 registers.

The sources for break (BRK) channel are:

The sources for break2 (BRK2) is an external source connected to one of the BKIN pin (as per selection done in the SYSCFG_CFGR2 register), with polarity selection and optional digital filtering

Break events can also be generated by software using BG and B2G bits in the TIMx_EGR register. The software break generation using BG and B2G is active whatever the BKE and BK2E enable bits values.

All sources are ORed before entering the timer BRK or BRK2 inputs, as per Figure 158 below.

Figure 158. Break and Break2 circuitry overview

Figure 158. Break and Break2 circuitry overview. This block diagram illustrates the internal logic for generating break and break2 requests in the TIM1 timer. The top section shows 'System break requests' generated by an OR gate combining five AND gates. These AND gates take inputs from 'Core Lockup' (LOCK), 'PVD' (LOCK), 'RAM parity Error' (LOCK), 'Double ECC Error' (LOCK), and 'CSS'. The output of the OR gate is the 'SBIF flag'. The middle section shows 'Application break requests' for the BRK request. It starts with 'BKIN inputs from AF controller' passing through an inverter and a multiplexer (BKINP) to produce 'BKINE'. This signal passes through an AND gate, a programmable 'Filter' (BKF[3:0]), and another multiplexer (BKP) to produce 'BKP'. 'BKP' and 'BKE' (Software break requests: BG) are inputs to an AND gate, whose output is ORed with 'System break requests' to produce the 'BRK request' and 'BIF flag'. The bottom section shows 'Application break requests' for the BRK2 request. It starts with 'BKIN2 inputs from AF controller' passing through an inverter and a multiplexer (BK2INP) to produce 'BK2INE'. This signal passes through an AND gate, a programmable 'Filter' (BK2F[3:0]), and another multiplexer (BK2P) to produce 'BK2P'. 'BK2P' and 'BK2E' (Software break requests: B2G) are inputs to an AND gate, whose output is ORed with 'System break requests' to produce the 'BRK2 request' and 'B2IF flag'. A note at the bottom right indicates the document version: MSv63011V2.

Note: An asynchronous (clockless) operation is only guaranteed when the programmable filter is disabled. If it is enabled, a fail safe clock mode (for example by using the internal PLL and/or the CSS) must be used to guarantee that break events are handled.

When one of the breaks occurs (selected level on one of the break inputs):

Note: If the MOE is reset by the CPU while the AOE bit is set, the outputs are in idle state and forced to inactive level or Hi-Z depending on OSSI value.
If both the MOE and AOE bits are reset by the CPU, the outputs are in disabled state and driven with the level programmed in the OISx bit in the TIMx_CR2 register.

Note: The break inputs are active 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 and B2IF cannot be cleared.

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 the configuration of several parameters to be freeze (dead-time duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). The application can choose from 3 levels of protection selected by the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 19.4.20: TIM1 break and dead-time register (TIM1_BDTR) . The LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.

Figure 159 shows an example of behavior of the outputs in response to a break.

The two break inputs have different behaviors on timer outputs:

The BRK has a higher priority than BRK2 input, as described in Table 125 .

Note: BRK2 must only be used with OSSR = OSSI = 1.

Figure 160 gives an example of OCx and OCxN output behavior in case of active signals on BRK and BRK2 inputs. In this case, both outputs have active high polarities (CCxP = CCxNP = 0 in TIMx_CCER register).

Figure 160. PWM output state following BRK and BRK2 pins assertion (OSSI=1)

Timing diagram showing the PWM output state following BRK and BRK2 pins assertion. The diagram shows four waveforms: BRK2, BRK, OCx, and I/O state. BRK2 is active high. BRK is active low. OCx is a PWM signal. I/O state is the output state. The diagram is divided into three phases: Active, Inactive, and Idle. In the Active phase, BRK2 is high and BRK is low. In the Inactive phase, BRK2 is low and BRK is high. In the Idle phase, both BRK2 and BRK are low. Deadtime is indicated between the Active and Inactive phases, and between the Inactive and Idle phases.

The timing diagram illustrates the relationship between control signals and PWM output states. The BRK2 signal is shown as active high, while the BRK signal is active low. The OCx signal represents the PWM output, which transitions between active and inactive states. The I/O state indicates the final output level. Deadtime intervals are shown during transitions between the Active and Inactive phases, and between the Inactive and Idle phases, ensuring safe switching of the PWM outputs.

The diagram is divided into three phases: 'Active', 'Inactive', and 'Disabled'. The 'Active' phase ends at the start of the 'Inactive' phase. The 'Inactive' phase ends at the start of the 'Disabled' phase. The 'Disabled' phase continues until the end of the diagram.

19.3.17 Bidirectional break inputs

The TIM1 are featuring bidirectional break I/Os, as represented on Figure 162 .

They allow the following:

The break and break2 inputs are configured in bidirectional mode using the BKBID and BK2BID bits in the TIMxBDTR register. The BKBID programming bits can be locked in read-only mode using the LOCK bits in the TIMxBDTR register (in LOCK level 1 or above).

The bidirectional mode is available for both the break and break2 inputs, and require the I/O to be configured in open-drain mode with active low polarity (using BKINP, BKP, BK2INP and BK2P bits). Any break request coming either from system (e.g. CSS), from on-chip peripherals or from break inputs forces a low level on the break input to signal the fault event. The bidirectional mode is inhibited if the polarity bits are not correctly set (active high polarity), for safety purposes.

The break software events (BG and B2G) also cause the break I/O to be forced to '0' to indicate to the external components that the timer has entered in break state. However, this is valid only if the break is enabled (BK(2)E = 1). When a software break event is generated with BK(2)E = 0, the outputs are put in safe state and the break flag is set, but there is no effect on the break(2) I/O.

A safe disarming mechanism prevents the system to be definitively locked-up (a low level on the break input triggers a break which enforces a low level on the same input).

When the BKDSRM (BK2DSRM) bit is set to 1, this releases the break output to clear a fault signal and to give the possibility to re-arm the system.

At no point the break protection circuitry can be disabled:

Arming and re-arming break circuitry

The break circuitry (in input or bidirectional mode) is armed by default (peripheral reset configuration).

The following procedure must be followed to re-arm the protection after a break (break2) event:

From this point, the break circuitry is armed and active, and the MOE bit can be set to re-enable the PWM outputs.

Figure 162. Output redirection (BRK2 request not represented)

Figure 162. Output redirection (BRK2 request not represented). This block diagram illustrates the internal logic of the break circuitry. On the left, 'Other break inputs' and a 'Bidirectional Break I/O' (with 'AF input (active low)' and 'AF output (open drain)' connected to Vss) are connected to an 'AF controller'. The 'AF controller' provides 'BKNIN inputs from AF controller' to an AND gate. 'Peripheral break sources' are also inputs to this AND gate. The output of the AND gate passes through a 'Filter' block labeled 'BKF[3:0]'. The filtered signal goes through an inverter labeled 'BKP' and then to another AND gate. This second AND gate also receives 'System break request' and 'Software break requests: BG' as inputs. The output of this second AND gate is connected to a 'BKE' input of a third AND gate. The third AND gate's output is connected to a 'BIF flag' and a 'BRK request' output. Below the main logic, 'Bidirectional mode control logic' is shown, which receives 'System break request' and 'BRK request' as inputs and is controlled by 'MOE', 'BKBID', and 'BKDSRM' bits. The 'Bidirectional mode control logic' is also connected to the 'AF controller' and the 'AF output (open drain)'.

19.3.18 Clearing the OCxREF signal on an external event

The OCxREF signal of a given channel can be cleared when a high level is applied on the ocref_clr_int input (OCxCE enable bit in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to 1). OCxREF remains low until the next transition to the active state, on the following PWM cycle. This function can only be used in Output compare and PWM modes. It does not work in Forced mode. ocref_clr_int input can be selected between the OCREF_CLR input and ETRF (ETR after the filter) by configuring the OCCS bit in the TIMx_SMCR register.

When ETRF is chosen, ETR must be configured as follows:

  1. 1. The External Trigger Prescaler should be kept off: bits ETPS[1:0] of the TIMx_SMCR register set to '00'.
  2. 2. The external clock mode 2 must be disabled: bit ECE of the TIMx_SMCR register set to '0'.
  3. 3. The External Trigger Polarity (ETP) and the External Trigger Filter (ETF) can be configured according to the user needs.

Figure 163 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 163. Clearing TIMx OCxREF

Timing diagram showing the relationship between Counter (CNT), ETRF, and OCxREF signals. The Counter (CNT) is a sawtooth wave. The ETRF signal is a pulse that goes high during the first counter cycle. The OCxREF signal (OCxCE = '0') is a periodic square wave. The OCxREF signal (OCxCE = '1') is initially high but is cleared to low when the ETRF signal becomes high. It remains low until the next counter overflow, at which point it returns to high. Arrows indicate the points where ocref_clr_int becomes high and where it is still high.

The diagram illustrates the timing of the OCxREF signal clearing. The top trace shows the Counter (CNT) as a sawtooth wave. The second trace shows the ETRF signal going high. The third trace shows OCxREF for OCxCE = '0' as a standard PWM signal. The bottom trace shows OCxREF for OCxCE = '1'. This signal is initially high. When ETRF goes high, the OCxREF signal for OCxCE = '1' is cleared to low. It remains low until the next counter overflow (the end of the second sawtooth cycle), at which point it returns to high. Two arrows point to the ETRF signal: one at its rising edge labeled 'ocref_clr_int becomes high', and another while it is still high labeled 'ocref_clr_int still high'.

Note: In case of a PWM with a 100% duty cycle (if CCRx > ARR), then OCxREF is enabled again at the next counter overflow.

19.3.19 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).

The Figure 164 describes the behavior of the OCx and OCxN outputs when a COM event occurs, in 3 different examples of programmed configurations.

The diagram illustrates the timing of a 6-step PWM generation using complementary outputs. The top signal is the counter (CNT), shown as a sawtooth wave with a compare register (CCRx) threshold. Below it is the OCxREF signal, which toggles at each counter overflow. A 'COM event' is indicated by a pulse generated when the COM bit is set. Three examples show the behavior of OCx and OCxN outputs before and after a COM event triggered by writing the COM bit to 1.

19.3.20 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:

Figure 165. Example of one pulse mode.

Timing diagram for one-pulse mode. The diagram shows four waveforms over time (t). 1. TI2: A positive pulse. 2. OC1REF: A signal that goes high when the counter reaches TIM1_CCR1 and low when it reaches TIM1_ARR. 3. OC1: An output pulse that goes high at the start of the delay (t_DELAY) and low at the end of the pulse (t_PULSE). 4. Counter: A sawtooth-like waveform that starts at 0, increases in steps until it reaches TIM1_ARR, then resets to 0. The delay t_DELAY corresponds to the time from the TI2 rising edge to the OC1 rising edge. The pulse width t_PULSE corresponds to the time from the OC1 rising edge to the OC1 falling edge.

The delay t_DELAY corresponds to the time from the TI2 rising edge to the OC1 rising edge. The pulse width t_PULSE corresponds to the time from the OC1 rising edge to the OC1 falling edge.

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:

  1. 1. Select the proper TI2x source (internal or external) with the TI2SEL[3:0] bits in the TIMx_TISEL register.
  2. 2. Map TI2FP2 to TI2 by writing CC2S='01' in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  3. 3. TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P='0' and CC2NP='0' in the TIMx_CCER register.
  4. 4. Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=00110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  5. 5. 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).

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.

19.3.21 Retriggerable one pulse mode

This mode allows the counter to be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length, but with the following differences with Non-retriggerable one pulse mode described in Section 19.3.20 :

The timer must be in Slave mode, with the bits SMS[3:0] = '1000' (Combined Reset + trigger mode) in the TIMx_SMCR register, and the OCxM[3:0] bits set to '1000' or '1001' for retriggerable OPM mode 1 or 2.

If the timer is configured in Up-counting mode, the corresponding CCRx must be set to 0 (the ARR register sets the pulse length). If the timer is configured in Down-counting mode, CCRx must be above or equal to ARR.

Note: The OCxM[3:0] and SMS[3:0] bit fields are split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the most significant bit are not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.

This mode must not be used with center-aligned PWM modes. It is mandatory to have CMS[1:0] = 00 in TIMx_CR1.

Figure 166. Retriggerable one pulse mode

Timing diagram for Retriggerable one pulse mode. The diagram shows three signals over time: TRGI (Trigger), Counter, and Output. TRGI has three positive pulses. The Counter signal is a sawtooth wave that starts at the first TRGI pulse and increases linearly until it reaches a horizontal dashed line representing the auto-reload value. When the second TRGI pulse occurs, the counter is retriggered and starts increasing again. When the third TRGI pulse occurs, the counter is retriggered once more. The Output signal is a rectangular pulse that goes high at the first TRGI pulse and goes low when the counter reaches the auto-reload value. The Output signal is low between the first and second TRGI pulses, and high again between the second and third TRGI pulses, and continues high after the third TRGI pulse until the counter reaches the auto-reload value. The diagram is labeled MS33106V2 in the bottom right corner.

19.3.22 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 a quadrature encoder. Refer to Table 127 . 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, 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.

Note: The prescaler must be set to zero when encoder mode is enabled

In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of the quadrature encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder's position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor. The table summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 do not switch at the same time.

A quadrature 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.

The Figure 167 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:

Figure 167. Example of counter operation in encoder interface mode.

Timing diagram showing TI1, TI2, and Counter signals over time. The diagram is divided into five segments: 'forward', 'jitter', 'backward', 'jitter', and 'forward'. In the 'forward' segments, the counter counts up. In the 'backward' segment, the counter counts down. The 'jitter' segments show signal noise that does not affect the counter's direction. The counter signal is a staircase-like waveform. MS33107V1 is noted in the bottom right.

Figure 168 gives an example of counter behavior when TI1FP1 polarity is inverted (same configuration as above except CC1P='1').

In the 'backward' segment, the Counter is shown increasing, labeled 'up'. The 'jitter' segments show brief periods of instability in the TI1 and TI2 signals. The Counter's behavior is step-like, reflecting the discrete pulses from the encoder. A small label 'MS33108V1' is present in the bottom right corner of the diagram area.

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.

The IUFREMAP bit in the TIMx_CR1 register forces a continuous copy of the update interrupt flag (UIF) into the timer counter register's bit 31 (TIMxCNT[31]). This allows both the counter value and a potential roll-over condition signaled by the UIFCPY flag to be read in an atomic way. It eases the calculation of angular speed by avoiding race conditions caused, for instance, by a processing shared between a background task (counter reading) and an interrupt (update interrupt).

There is no latency between the UIF and UIFCPY flag assertions.

In 32-bit timer implementations, when the IUFREMAP bit is set, bit 31 of the counter is overwritten by the UIFCPY flag upon read access (the counter's most significant bit is only accessible in write mode).

19.3.23 UIF bit remapping

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

There is no latency between the UIF and UIFCPY flags assertion.

19.3.24 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 an 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. It is convenient to measure the interval between edges on two input signals, as per Figure 169 below.

Figure 169. Measuring time interval between edges on 3 signals

Timing diagram showing three input signals (TI1, TI2, TI3) and their XOR output. The XOR output is connected to the TIMx Counter. The diagram illustrates the measurement of time intervals between edges on the XOR output signal. The signals are shown as digital waveforms over time. Vertical dashed lines indicate the edges of the signals. The TIMx Counter is shown as a sawtooth waveform, indicating it is counting up and then resetting to zero at each edge of the XOR output signal.

The figure is a timing diagram with five horizontal axes. From top to bottom, they are labeled: TI1, TI2, TI3, XOR, and TIMx Counter. TI1, TI2, and TI3 are digital signals with various pulse widths and frequencies. The XOR signal is the result of an XOR gate combining TI1, TI2, and TI3. The TIMx Counter is a sawtooth waveform that increases linearly and then resets to zero. The counter resets at every rising and falling edge of the XOR signal. Vertical dashed lines connect the edges of the XOR signal to the corresponding reset points of the counter. A small label 'MS33109V1' is in the bottom right corner of the diagram area.

19.3.25 Interfacing with Hall sensors

This is done using the advanced-control timer (TIM1) to generate PWM signals to drive the motor and another timer TIMx (TIM2) referred to as “interfacing timer” in Figure 170 . The “interfacing timer” captures the 3 timer input pins (CC1, CC2, CC3) 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 143: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) on page 555 ). 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) (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) 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.

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).

The Figure 170 describes this example.

19.3.26 Timer synchronization

The TIMx timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. Refer to Section 20.3.19: Timer synchronization for details. They can be synchronized 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:

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 171. Control circuit in reset mode

Timing diagram showing the control circuit in reset mode. The diagram illustrates the relationship between the TI1 input signal, the Update Generation (UG) signal, the Counter clock, the Counter register values, and the Trigger Interrupt Flag (TIF).

The timing diagram shows the following signals and their behavior over time:

Vertical dashed lines indicate the timing sequence: TI1 rising edge → TIF goes high → delay → UG goes high and Counter resets to 00.

Timing diagram showing the control circuit in reset mode. The diagram illustrates the relationship between the TI1 input signal, the Update Generation (UG) signal, the Counter clock, the Counter register values, and the Trigger Interrupt Flag (TIF).

Slave mode: Gated mode

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

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

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 172. Control circuit in Gated mode

Timing diagram for Gated mode showing TI1, cnt_en, Counter clock, Counter register, and TIF signals over time. The diagram illustrates that the counter only counts when TI1 is low. The counter register values are shown as 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. The TIF flag is set when the counter starts or stops. A note 'Write TIF=0' indicates the flag is cleared by software.

The diagram shows the relationship between the TI1 input, the counter enable signal (cnt_en), the counter clock, the counter register values, and the TIF flag. The TI1 input is shown as a signal that is low during the counting period. The cnt_en signal is high only when TI1 is low. The counter clock is a periodic signal. The counter register values are shown as a sequence of numbers: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. The TIF flag is shown as a signal that is set when the counter starts or stops. A note 'Write TIF=0' indicates the flag is cleared by software. The diagram is labeled MS31402V1.

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:

register. Write CC2P=1 and CC2NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).

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 173. Control circuit in trigger mode

Timing diagram for Figure 173. Control circuit in trigger mode. The diagram shows five signals over time: TI2 (input), cnt_en (enable), Counter clock = ck_cnt = ck_psc (clock), Counter register (count), and TIF (flag). A vertical dashed line marks the rising edge of TI2. Before the edge, TI2 is high, cnt_en is low, the clock is off, the counter register holds 34, and TIF is low. Immediately after the rising edge, cnt_en goes high, the clock starts, the counter register increments to 35, 36, 37, and 38, and TIF goes high. The diagram is labeled MS31403V1 in the bottom right corner.

Upon the rising edge of TI2, the counter is enabled (cnt_en high), the clock starts, and the register begins counting (35, 36, 37, 38). The TIF flag is set (high) at the rising edge.

The diagram is labeled MS31403V1 in the bottom right corner.

Slave mode: Combined reset + trigger mode

In this case, a rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter, generates an update of the registers, and starts the counter.

This mode is used for one-pulse mode.

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. 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. 2. Configure the channel 1 as follows, to detect rising edges on TI:
    • – 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. 3. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS=00101 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 174. Control circuit in external clock mode 2 + trigger mode

Timing diagram for Figure 174 showing the relationship between TI1, CEN/CNT_EN, ETR, Counter clock, Counter register, and TIF signals. TI1 has a pulse that triggers CEN/CNT_EN to go high. ETR is a square wave. Counter clock (CK_CNT) shows pulses aligned with ETR rising edges after CEN is high. The Counter register increments from 34 to 35 and then 36 on these pulses. TIF goes high on the TI1 rising edge.

TIF goes high on the TI1 rising edge.

Note: The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2 signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

19.3.27 ADC synchronization

The timer can generate an ADC triggering event with various internal signals, such as reset, enable or compare events. It is also possible to generate a pulse issued by internal edge detectors, such as:

The triggers are issued on the TRGO2 internal line which is redirected to the ADC. There is a total of 16 possible events, which can be selected using the MMS2[3:0] bits in the TIMx_CR2 register.

An example of an application for 3-phase motor drives is given in Figure 154 on page 567 .

Note: The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2 signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

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

19.3.28 DMA burst mode

The TIMx timers have the capability to generate multiple DMA requests upon a single event. The main purpose is to be able to re-program part of the timer multiple times without software overhead, but it can also be used to read several registers in a row, at regular intervals.

The DMA controller destination is unique and must point to the virtual register TIMx_DMAR. On a given timer event, the timer launches a sequence of DMA requests (burst). Each write into the TIMx_DMAR register is actually redirected to one of the timer registers.

The DBL[4:0] bits in the TIMx_DCR register set the DMA burst length. The timer recognizes a burst transfer when a read or a write access is done to the TIMx_DMAR address), i.e. the number of transfers (either in half-words or in bytes).

The DBA[4:0] bits in the TIMx_DCR registers define the DMA 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

As an example, the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx registers (x = 2, 3, 4) upon an update event, with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.

This is done in the following steps:

  1. 1. 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.
  2. 2. Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
    DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE.
  3. 3. Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).
  4. 4. Enable TIMx
  5. 5. Enable the DMA channel

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.

Note: A null value can be written to the reserved registers.

19.3.29 Debug mode

When the system enters debug mode (processor core halted), the TIMx counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on DBG_TIM1_STOP configuration bit in DBGMCU module.

For safety purposes, when the counter is stopped, the outputs are disabled (as if the MOE bit was reset). The outputs can either be forced to an inactive state (OSSI bit = 1), or have their control taken over by the GPIO controller (OSSI bit = 0), typically to force a Hi-Z.

For more details, refer to section Debug support (DBG).

Bits 23:20 MMS2[3:0] : Master mode selection 2

These bits allow the information to be sent to ADC for synchronization (TRGO2) to be selected. The combination is as follows:

0000: Reset - the UG bit from the TIMx_EGR register is used as trigger output (TRGO2). If the reset is generated by the trigger input (slave mode controller configured in reset mode), the signal on TRGO2 is delayed compared to the actual reset.

0001: Enable - the Counter Enable signal CNT_EN is used as trigger output (TRGO2). It is useful to start several timers at the same time or to control a window in which a slave timer is enabled. The Counter Enable signal is generated by a logic AND between the 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 TRGO2, except if the Master/Slave mode is selected (see the MSM bit description in TIMx_SMCR register).

0010: Update - the update event is selected as trigger output (TRGO2). For instance, a master timer can then be used as a prescaler for a slave timer.

0011: Compare pulse - the trigger output sends a positive pulse when the CC1IF flag is to be set (even if it was already high), as soon as a capture or compare match occurs (TRGO2).

1000: Compare - OC5REFC signal is used as trigger output (TRGO2)

1001: Compare - OC6REFC signal is used as trigger output (TRGO2)

1010: Compare Pulse - OC4REFC rising or falling edges generate pulses on TRGO2

1011: Compare Pulse - OC6REFC rising or falling edges generate pulses on TRGO2

1100: Compare Pulse - OC4REFC or OC6REFC rising edges generate pulses on TRGO2

1110: Compare Pulse - OC5REFC or OC6REFC rising edges generate pulses on TRGO2

1111: Compare Pulse - OC5REFC rising or OC6REFC falling edges generate pulses on TRGO2

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

Bits 19:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

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: Setting the ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode 1 with TRGI connected to ETRF (SMS=111 and TS=00111).

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 00111).

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 \( f_{CK\_INT} \) frequency. A prescaler can be enabled to reduce ETRP frequency. It is useful when inputting fast external clocks.

Bits 11:8 ETF[3:0] : External trigger filter

This 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:

Bit 7 MSM : Master/slave modeBits 21, 20, 6, 5, 4 TS[4:0] : Trigger selection

This bit-field selects the trigger input to be used to synchronize the counter.

See Table 128: TIM1 internal trigger connection on page 599 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 OCCS : OREF clear selection

This bit is used to select the OREF clear source.

Bits 16, 2, 1, 0 SMS[3:0] : 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).

0000: Slave mode disabled - if CEN = '1' then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal clock.

0001: Encoder mode 1 - Counter counts up/down on TI1FP1 edge depending on TI2FP2 level.

0010: Encoder mode 2 - Counter counts up/down on TI2FP2 edge depending on TI1FP1 level.

0011: Encoder mode 3 - Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2 edges depending on the level of the other input.

0100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter and generates an update of the registers.

0101: 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.

0110: 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.

0111: External Clock Mode 1 - Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock the counter.

1000: Combined reset + trigger mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter, generates an update of the registers and starts the counter.

Codes above 1000: Reserved.

Note: The gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input (TS=00100). Indeed, TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas the gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.

Note: The clock of the slave peripherals (timer, ADC, ...) receiving the TRGO or the TRGO2 signals must be enabled prior to receive events from the master timer, and the clock frequency (prescaler) must not be changed on-the-fly while triggers are received from the master timer.

Bits 3:2 IC1PSC[1:0] : Input capture 1 prescaler

This bit-field defines the ratio of the prescaler acting on CC1 input (IC1). The prescaler is reset as soon as CC1E='0' (TIMx_CCER register).

This bit-field defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.

00: CC1 channel is configured as output

01: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI1

10: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TI2

11: CC1 channel is configured as input, IC1 is mapped on TRC. This mode is working only if an internal trigger input is selected through TS bit (TIMx_SMCR register)

19.4.8 TIM1 capture/compare mode register 1 [alternate] (TIM1_CCMR1)

Address offset: 0x18

Reset value: 0x0000 0000

The same register can be used for output compare mode (this section) or for input capture mode (previous section). The direction of a channel is defined by configuring the

corresponding CCxS bits. All the other bits of this register have a different function for input capture and for output compare modes. It is possible to combine both modes independently (e.g. channel 1 in input capture mode and channel 2 in output compare mode).

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

Bit 7 OC1CE : Output Compare 1 clear enable
0: OC1Ref is not affected by the ocref_clr_int signal
1: OC1Ref is cleared as soon as a High level is detected on ocref_clr_int signal (OCREF_CLR input or ETRF input)

Bits 16, 6:4 OC1M[3:0] : 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.

0000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR1 and the counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs. This mode can be used when the timer serves as a software timebase. When the frozen mode is enabled during timer operation, the output keeps the state (active or inactive) it had before entering the frozen state.

0001: 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).

0010: 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).

0011: Toggle - OC1REF toggles when TIMx_CNT=TIMx_CCR1.

0100: Force inactive level - OC1REF is forced low.

0101: Force active level - OC1REF is forced high.

0110: 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').

0111: 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.

1000: Retriggerable OPM mode 1 - In up-counting mode, the channel is active until a trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM mode 1 and the channels becomes active again at the next update. In down-counting mode, the channel is inactive until a trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM mode 1 and the channels becomes inactive again at the next update.

1001: Retriggerable OPM mode 2 - In up-counting mode, the channel is inactive until a trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM mode 2 and the channels becomes inactive again at the next update. In down-counting mode, the channel is active until a trigger event is detected (on TRGI signal). Then, a comparison is performed as in PWM mode 1 and the channels becomes active again at the next update.

1010: Reserved,

1011: Reserved,

1100: Combined PWM mode 1 - OC1REF has the same behavior as in PWM mode 1. OC1REFC is the logical OR between OC1REF and OC2REF.

1101: Combined PWM mode 2 - OC1REF has the same behavior as in PWM mode 2. OC1REFC is the logical AND between OC1REF and OC2REF.

1110: Asymmetric PWM mode 1 - OC1REF has the same behavior as in PWM mode 1. OC1REFC outputs OC1REF when the counter is counting up, OC2REF when it is counting down.

1111: Asymmetric PWM mode 2 - OC1REF has the same behavior as in PWM mode 2. OC1REFC outputs OC1REF when the counter is counting up, OC2REF when it is counting down.

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).

Note: In PWM mode, 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.

Note: 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.

Note: The OC1M[3] bit is not contiguous, located in bit 16.

Bit 3 OC1PE : Output Compare 1 preload enable

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 decreases the latency between a trigger event and a transition on the timer output. It must be used in one-pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register), to have the output pulse starting as soon as possible after the starting trigger.

Bits 1:0 CC1S[1:0] : Capture/Compare 1 selection

This bit-field defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.

Note: CC1S bits are writable only when the channel is OFF (CC1E = '0' in TIMx_CCER).

CC1 channel configured as input:

This bit is used in conjunction with CC1P to define the polarity of TI1FP1 and TI2FP1. Refer to CC1P description.

Note: This bit is not writable as soon as LOCK level 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S="00" (channel configured as output).

On channels having a complementary output, this bit is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the CC1NP active bit takes the new value from the preloaded bit only when a Commutation event is generated.

Bit 2 CC1NE : Capture/Compare 1 complementary output enable

0: Off - OC1N is not active. OC1N level is then function of MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N and CC1E bits.

1: On - OC1N signal is output on the corresponding output pin depending on MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N and CC1E bits.

On channels having a complementary output, this bit is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the CC1NE active bit takes the new value from the preloaded bit only when a Commutation event is generated.

Bit 1 CC1P : Capture/Compare 1 output polarity

0: OC1 active high (output mode) / Edge sensitivity selection (input mode, see below)

1: OC1 active low (output mode) / Edge sensitivity selection (input mode, see below)

When CC1 channel is configured as input, both CC1NP/CC1P bits select the active polarity of TI1FP1 and TI2FP1 for trigger or capture operations.

CC1NP=0, CC1P=0: 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).

CC1NP=0, CC1P=1: 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).

CC1NP=1, CC1P=1: 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.

CC1NP=1, CC1P=0: The configuration is reserved, it must not be used.

Note: This bit is not writable as soon as LOCK level 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

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.

Bit 0 CC1E : Capture/Compare 1 output enable

0: Capture mode disabled / OC1 is not active (see below)

1: Capture mode enabled / OC1 signal is output on the corresponding output pin

When CC1 channel is configured as output , the OC1 level depends on MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N and CC1NE bits, regardless of the CC1E bits state. Refer to Table 129 for details.

Note: On channels having a complementary output, this bit is preloaded. If the CCPC bit is set in the TIMx_CR2 register then the CC1E active bit takes the new value from the preloaded bit only when a Commutation event is generated.

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.

Bit 29 BK2BID : Break2 bidirectional
Refer to BKBID description

Bit 28 BKBID : Break Bidirectional

In the bidirectional mode (BKBID bit set to 1), the break input is configured both in input mode and in open drain output mode. Any active break event asserts a low logic level on the Break input to indicate an internal break event to external devices.

Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.

Bit 27 BK2DSRM : Break2 Disarm

Refer to BKDSRM description

Bit 26 BKDSRM : Break Disarm

This bit is cleared by hardware when no break source is active.

The BKDSRM bit must be set by software to release the bidirectional output control (open-drain output in Hi-Z state) and then be polled it until it is reset by hardware, indicating that the fault condition has disappeared.

Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.

Bit 15 MOE: Main output enable

This bit is cleared asynchronously by hardware as soon as one of the break inputs is active (BRK or BRK2). It is set by software or automatically depending on the AOE bit. It is acting only on the channels which are configured in output.

0: In response to a break 2 event. OC and OCN outputs are disabled

In response to a break event or if MOE is written to 0: OC and OCN outputs are disabled or forced to idle state depending on the OSSI bit.

1: OC and OCN outputs are enabled if their respective enable bits are set (CCxE, CCxNE in TIMx_CCER register).

See OC/OCN enable description for more details ( Section 19.4.11: TIM1 capture/compare enable register (TIM1_CCER) ).

Bit 14 AOE: Automatic output enable

0: MOE can be set only by software

1: MOE can be set by software or automatically at the next update event (if none of the break inputs BRK and BRK2 is active)

Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bit 13 BKP: Break polarity

0: Break input BRK is active low

1: Break input BRK is active high

Note: This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.

Bit 12 BKE: Break enable

This bit enables the complete break protection (including all sources connected to bk_acth and BRK sources, as per Figure 158: Break and Break2 circuitry overview ).

0: Break function disabled

1: Break function enabled

Note: This bit cannot be modified when LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Note: Any write operation to this bit takes a delay of 1 APB clock cycle to become effective.

Bit 11 OSSR: Off-state selection for Run mode

This bit is used when MOE=1 on channels having a complementary output which are configured as outputs. OSSR is not implemented if no complementary output is implemented in the timer.

See OC/OCN enable description for more details ( Section 19.4.11: TIM1 capture/compare enable register (TIM1_CCER) ).

0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which is taken over by the GPIO logic, which forces a Hi-Z state).

1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are enabled with their inactive level as soon as CCxE=1 or CCxNE=1 (the output is still controlled by the timer).

Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bit 10 OSSI : Off-state selection for Idle mode

This bit is used when MOE=0 due to a break event or by a software write, on channels configured as outputs.
See OC/OCN enable description for more details ( Section 19.4.11: TIM1 capture/compare enable register (TIM1_CCER) ).

0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which is taken over by the GPIO logic and which imposes a Hi-Z state).

1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are first forced with their inactive level then forced to their idle level after the deadtime. The timer maintains its control over the output.

Note: This bit can not be modified as soon as the LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bits 9:8 LOCK[1:0] : Lock configuration

These bits offer a write protection against software errors.

00: LOCK OFF - No bit is write protected.

01: LOCK Level 1 = DTG bits in TIMx_BDTR register, OISx and OISxN bits in TIMx_CR2 register and BK2BID, BKBID, BK2DSRM, BKDSRM, BK2P, BK2E, BK2F[3:0], BKF[3:0], AOE, BKP, BKE, OSSI, OSSR and DTG[7:0] bits in TIMx_BDTR register can no longer be written.

10: LOCK Level 2 = LOCK Level 1 + CC Polarity bits (CCxP/CCxNP bits in TIMx_CCER register, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the CCxS bits) as well as OSSR and OSSI bits can no longer be written.

11: LOCK Level 3 = LOCK Level 2 + CC Control bits (OCxM and OCxPE bits in TIMx_CCMRx registers, as long as the related channel is configured in output through the CCxS bits) can no longer be written.

Note: The LOCK bits can be written only once after the reset. Once the TIMx_BDTR register has been written, their content is frozen until the next reset.

Bits 7:0 DTG[7:0] : Dead-time generator setup

This bit-field defines the duration of the dead-time inserted between the complementary outputs. DT correspond to this duration.

\( DTG[7:5] = 0xx \Rightarrow DT = DTG[7:0] \times t_{DTG} \) with \( t_{DTG} = t_{DTS} \) .
\( DTG[7:5] = 10x \Rightarrow DT = (64 + DTG[5:0]) \times t_{DTG} \) with \( t_{DTG} = 2 \times t_{DTS} \) .
\( DTG[7:5] = 110 \Rightarrow DT = (32 + DTG[4:0]) \times t_{DTG} \) with \( t_{DTG} = 8 \times t_{DTS} \) .
\( DTG[7:5] = 111 \Rightarrow DT = (32 + DTG[4:0]) \times t_{DTG} \) with \( t_{DTG} = 16 \times t_{DTS} \) .

Example if \( t_{DTS} = 125 \) ns (8 MHz), dead-time possible values are:
0 to 15875 ns by 125 ns steps,
16 µs to 31750 ns by 250 ns steps,
32 µs to 63 µs by 1 µs steps,
64 µs to 126 µs by 2 µs steps

Note: This bit-field can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

rwrwrwrwrwrwrwrwrwrw

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 length of DMA transfers (the timer recognizes a burst transfer when a read or a write access is done to the TIMx_DMAR address), i.e. the number of transfers. Transfers can be in half-words or in bytes (see example below).

Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 bytes & DBA = TIMx_CR1.

– If DBL = 7 bytes and DBA = TIMx_CR1 represents the address of the byte to be transferred, the address of the transfer should be given by the following equation:

\( (\text{TIMx\_CR1 address}) + \text{DBA} + (\text{DMA index}) \) , where DMA index = DBL

In this example, 7 bytes are added to (TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA, which gives us the address from/to which the data is copied. In this case, the transfer is done to 7 registers starting from the following address: (TIMx_CR1 address) + DBA

According to the configuration of the DMA Data Size, several cases may occur:

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.
