31. General purpose timers (TIM16/TIM17)

TIM17 is available only on STM32WBA52/54/55xx devices.

31.1 TIM16/TIM17 introduction

The TIM16/TIM17 timers consist of a 16-bit autoreload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.

They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM, 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 TIM16/TIM17 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources.

31.2 TIM16/TIM17 main features

The TIM16/TIM17 timers include the following features:

31.3.3 Time-base unit

The main block of the programmable advanced-control timer is a 16-bit upcounter with its related autoreload register. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.

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

The counter is clocked by the prescaler output tim_cnt_ck, 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 one 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.

Table 338 and Table 329 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly:

31.3.4 Counter modes

Upcounting mode

In upcounting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the autoreload 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). 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.

(TIMx_ARR not preloaded)

Timing diagram showing the relationship between tim_psc_ck, CEN, tim_cnt_ck, Counter register, Counter overflow, Update event (UEV), Update interrupt flag (UIF), and Auto-reload preload register. The diagram shows the counter incrementing from 31 to 00, triggering an overflow and update event, and the preload register being updated from FF to 36.

The timing diagram illustrates the operation of a general-purpose timer. The top signal, tim_psc_ck , is a periodic clock. Below it, CEN (Counter Enable) is shown as a high-level signal. The tim_cnt_ck signal is a clock derived from tim_psc_ck . The Counter register shows a sequence of values: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07. The Counter overflow signal is a pulse that occurs when the counter reaches 36 and rolls over to 00. The Update event (UEV) and Update interrupt flag (UIF) are also pulses that occur at the same time as the counter overflow. The Auto-reload preload register shows a value of FF, which is then updated to 36. An arrow labeled "Write a new value in TIMx_ARR" points to this transition. The diagram is labeled MSV62303V1 in the bottom right corner.

The diagram illustrates the timing of an update event (UEV) generated when the counter overflows and ARPE is set to 1. The counter register shows values F0 through F7, with F0 being the initial value. The auto-reload preload register is set to F5, and the auto-reload shadow register is set to 36. The update event (UEV) is generated when the counter overflows from F5 to 00. The update interrupt flag (UIF) is set when the update event occurs. The auto-reload preload register is updated with a new value (36) when the update event occurs. The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the value from the auto-reload preload register (F5) when the update event occurs. The diagram also shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (tim_psc_ck) and the counter clock (tim_cnt_ck).

The auto-reload preload register is updated with a new value (36) when the update event occurs. The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the value from the auto-reload preload register (F5) when the update event occurs. The diagram also shows the relationship between the prescaler clock (tim_psc_ck) and the counter clock (tim_cnt_ck).

31.3.5 Repetition counter

Section 31.3.3: Time-base unit describes how the update event (UEV) is generated with respect to the counter overflows. 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 autoreload register, TIMx_PSC prescaler register, but also TIMx_CCRx capture/compare registers in compare mode) every N counter overflows, where N is the value in the TIMx_RCR repetition counter register.

The repetition counter is decremented at each counter overflow.

The repetition counter is an autoreload type; the repetition rate is maintained as defined by the TIMx_RCR register value (refer to Figure 336 ). 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.

Timing diagram showing update rate examples for Edge-aligned mode Upcounting. The diagram shows five rows of counter waveforms (TIMx_CNT) and their corresponding Update Events (UEV) for different TIMx_RCR settings. The counter is shown as a sawtooth waveform. The Update Events are indicated by upward arrows. The first row shows TIMx_RCR = 0, where the counter updates every clock cycle. The second row shows TIMx_RCR = 1, where the counter updates every 2 clock cycles. The third row shows TIMx_RCR = 2, where the counter updates every 3 clock cycles. The fourth row shows TIMx_RCR = 3, where the counter updates every 4 clock cycles. The fifth row shows TIMx_RCR = 3 and re-synchronization UEV, where the counter updates every 4 clock cycles, but the update event is generated by software (SW) at the third clock cycle. The legend indicates that UEV means 'Update Event: preload registers transferred to active registers and update interrupt generated.'

31.3.6 Clock selection

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

Internal clock source (tim_ker_ck)

If the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS = 000), then the CEN (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual control bits and can be changed only by software (except UG which remains cleared automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock tim_ker_ck.

Figure 337 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode, without prescaler.

The timing diagram shows the following signals and values over time:

MSV62317V2

Timing diagram for Figure 337 showing control signals and counter register values over time.

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 338. tim_ti2 external clock connection example

Block diagram showing the connection of tim_ti2 as an external clock source.

The diagram illustrates the internal logic for configuring the external clock source mode 1 using the tim_ti2 input:

MSV62365V3

Block diagram showing the connection of tim_ti2 as an external clock source.

For example, to configure the upcounter to count in response to a rising edge on the tim_ti2 input, use the following procedure:

  1. 1. Select the proper tim_ti2_in[15:0] 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 tim_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 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 tim_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, it is not necessary to configure it.

When a rising edge occurs on tim_ti2 , the counter counts once and the TIF flag is set.

The delay between the rising edge on tim_ti2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on tim_ti2 input.

Figure 339. Control circuit in external clock mode 1

Timing diagram for Figure 339 showing the control circuit in external clock mode 1. The diagram plots five signals over time: tim_ti2 (external trigger), CEN (counter enable), tim_cnt_ck, tim_psc_ck (counter and prescaler clocks), Counter register (values 34, 35, 36), and TIF (trigger interrupt flag). The CEN signal is shown as a step function that goes high at the start. The tim_ti2 signal shows two rising edges. The counter register values 34, 35, and 36 are shown as a sequence of states, with transitions occurring on the rising edges of tim_ti2. The TIF signal is shown as a pulse that goes high when the counter increments and low when it is manually reset. Arrows point from the text 'Write TIF=0' to the falling edges of the TIF signal. The diagram is labeled MSv62319V1 in the bottom right corner.

31.3.7 Capture/compare channels

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

Figure 340 to Figure 342 give an overview of one Capture/Compare channel.

The input stage samples the corresponding tim_tix input to generate a filtered signal tim_tixf . Then, an edge detector with polarity selection generates a signal ( tim_tixfpy ) 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 340. Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage)

Figure 340: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) block diagram. The diagram shows the input stage for channel 1. Inputs include TIM_CH1, tim_ti1_in0, and tim_ti1_in[15:1]. These pass through a Filter downcounter (controlled by fots and ICF[3:0] from TIMx_CCMR1) to produce tim_ti1f.

These pass through a Filter downcounter (controlled by fots and ICF[3:0] from TIMx_CCMR1) to produce tim_ti1f.

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

On the left, the 'Output mode controller' receives inputs from 'tim_ocref_clr_int', 'tim_oc1ref', 'tim_oc2ref', and 'CNT>CCR1'/'CNT=CCR1'. It is controlled by 'OC1CE' and 'OC1M[3:0]' bits from the 'TIMx_CCMR1' register. The controller's output goes to an 'Output selector' and a 'Dead-time generator'. The 'Output selector' also receives 'tim_oc1ref' and its output goes to the 'Dead-time generator' and 'To the master mode controller'. The 'Dead-time generator' is controlled by 'DTG[7:0]' bits from the 'TIMx_BDTR' register and produces 'tim_oc1_dt' and 'tim_oc1n_dt' signals.

The diagram is labeled 'MSv62366V2' in the bottom right corner.

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.

31.3.8 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 tim_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 overcapture flag CCxOF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CCxIF can be cleared by software by writing it to 0 or by reading the captured data stored in the TIMx_CCRx register. CCxOF is cleared when it is written with 0.

The following example shows how to capture the counter value in TIMx_CCR1 when tim_ti1 input rises. To do this, use the following procedure:

  1. 1. Select the proper tim_ti1_in[15:1] 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 tim_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 tim_tix (ICxF bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register). Let's imagine that, when toggling, the input signal is not stable during at least 5 internal clock

cycles. The user must program a filter duration longer than these five clock cycles. The user can validate a transition on tim_ti1 when eight consecutive samples with the new level have been detected (sampled at \( f_{DTS} \) frequency). Then write IC1F bits to 0011 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

  1. 4. Select the edge of the active transition on the tim_ti1 channel by writing CC1P bit to 0 in the TIMx_CCER register (rising edge in this case).
  2. 5. Program the input prescaler. In this example, the user wants 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 may 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.

31.3.9 Forced output mode

In output mode (CCxS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMRx register), each output compare signal (tim_ocxref and then tim_ocx/tim_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 (tim_ocxref/tim_ocx) to its active level, one just needs to write 101 in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus tim_ocxref is forced high (tim_ocxref is always active high) and tim_ocx get opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.

For example: CCxP = 0 (tim_ocx active high) → tim_ocx is forced to high level.

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

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

31.3.10 Output compare mode

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

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

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 tim_ocxref and tim_ocx output. The timing resolution is one count of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to output a single pulse (in One-pulse mode).

Procedure

  1. 1. Select the counter clock (internal, external, prescaler).
  2. 2. Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRx registers.
  3. 3. Set the CCxIE bit if an interrupt request is to be generated.
  4. 4. Select the output mode. For example:
    • – Write OCxM = 011 to toggle tim_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 343 .

31.3.11 PWM mode

Pulse width modulation mode is used to generate a signal with a frequency determined by the value of the TIMx_ARR register and a duty cycle determined by the value of the TIMx_CCRx register.

The PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per tim_ocx output) by writing 110 (PWM mode 1) or 111 (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register. The corresponding preload register must be enabled by setting the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the autoreload 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.

tim_ocx polarity is software programmable using the CCxP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It can be programmed as active high or active low. tim_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 TIM16/TIM17 are capable of upcounting only. Refer to Upcounting mode .

In the following example applies to PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal tim_ocref is high as long as TIMx_CNT \( < \) TIMx_CCRx else it becomes low. If the compare value in

TIMx_CCRx is greater than the autoreload value (in TIMx_ARR) then tim_ocxref is held at 1. If the compare value is 0 then tim_ocxref is held at 0. Figure 344 shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR = 8.

Dithering mode

The PWM mode effective resolution can be increased by enabling the dithering mode, using the DITHEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This applies to both the CCR (for duty cycle resolution increase) and ARR (for PWM frequency resolution increase).

The operating principle is to have the actual CCR (or ARR) value slightly changed (adding or not one timer clock period) over 16 consecutive PWM periods, with predefined patterns. This allows a 16-fold resolution increase, considering the average duty cycle or PWM period. The Figure 345 below presents the dithering principle applied to four consecutive PWM cycles.

Figure 345. Dithering principle

Figure 345. Dithering principle. A diagram showing five PWM waveforms illustrating different average duty cycles. The first waveform has a duty cycle DC = 7/5, with a high state of 7 clock cycles and a low state of 5 clock cycles. The subsequent waveforms show how dithering achieves fractional duty cycles: DC = (7+1/4)/5, DC = (7+1/2)/5, DC = (7+3/4)/5, and DC = 8/5. Each waveform shows a sequence of 5 periods, with the high state duration increasing by 1/4 clock cycle in each step. A label '1 clock cycle' indicates the duration of one period.

Each waveform shows a sequence of 5 periods, with the high state duration increasing by 1/4 clock cycle in each step. A label '1 clock cycle' indicates the duration of one period.

When the dithering mode is enabled, the register coding is changed as follows (see Figure 346 for example):

Note: The following sequence must be followed when resetting the DITHEN bit:

  1. 1. CEN and ARPE bits must be reset
  2. 2. The ARR[3:0] bits must be reset
  3. 3. The CCIF flags must be cleared
  4. 4. The CEN bit can be set (eventually with ARPE = 1).

The minimum frequency is given by the following formula:

\[ \text{Resolution} = \frac{F_{\text{Tim}}}{F_{\text{pwm}}} \Rightarrow F_{\text{pwmMin}} = \frac{F_{\text{Tim}}}{\text{Max}_{\text{Resolution}}} \]

\[ \text{Dithering mode disabled: } F_{\text{pwmMin}} = \frac{F_{\text{Tim}}}{65536} \]

\[ \text{Dithering mode enabled: } F_{\text{pwmMin}} = \frac{F_{\text{Tim}}}{65535 + \frac{15}{16}} \]

Note: The maximum TIMx_ARR and TIMxCCRy values are limited to 0xFFFFEF in dithering mode (corresponds to 65534 for the integer part and 15 for the dithered part).

As shown on the Figure 347 below, the dithering mode is used to increase the PWM resolution whatever the PWM frequency.

Two curves are shown: 'Dithering' and 'No Dithering'. The 'Dithering' curve starts at 20-bit resolution at F_pwm_min and decreases as frequency increases. The 'No Dithering' curve starts at 16-bit resolution at F_pwm_min and decreases as frequency increases. The 'Dithering' curve is always above the 'No Dithering' curve, indicating higher resolution.

The graph illustrates the relationship between PWM resolution and PWM frequency. The vertical axis represents 'PWM resolution' with specific markers at '20-bit' and '16-bit'. The horizontal axis represents 'PWM frequency' with a starting point at \( F_{\text{PWM min}} \) . Two curves are plotted: 'Dithering' and 'No Dithering'. The 'Dithering' curve begins at the 20-bit resolution level at the minimum frequency and gradually declines as frequency increases. The 'No Dithering' curve begins at the 16-bit resolution level at the same minimum frequency and also declines. Throughout the entire frequency range shown, the 'Dithering' curve maintains a higher resolution than the 'No Dithering' curve. A vertical dashed line at \( F_{\text{PWM min}} \) connects the starting points of both curves to the x-axis. The identifier 'MSV47464V2' is located in the bottom right corner of the graph area.

31.3.12 Complementary outputs and dead-time insertion

The TIM16/TIM17 general-purpose timers can output one complementary signal and manage the switching-off and switching-on 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 (such as intrinsic delays of level-shifters and delays due to power switches)

The polarity of the outputs (main output tim_ocx or complementary tim_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 tim_ocx and tim_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 306: Output control bits for complementary tim_oc1 and tim_oc1n channels with break feature (TIM16/TIM17) 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 tim_ocxref , it generates two outputs tim_ocx and tim_ocxn . If tim_ocx and tim_ocxn are active high:

If the delay is greater than the width of the active output ( tim_ocx or tim_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 tim_ocxref . (in these examples CCxP = 0, CCxNP = 0, MOE = 1, CCxE = 1 and CCxNE = 1)

Figure 349. Complementary output with symmetrical dead-time insertion. Timing diagram for complementary output with symmetrical dead-time insertion. It shows three signals: tim_ocxref (reference), tim_ocx (output), and tim_ocxn (complementary output). The diagram illustrates symmetrical dead-time insertion around the edges of the reference signal. Two 'delay' labels with double-headed arrows indicate the time interval between the reference signal transition and the output signal transition, which is equal for both rising and falling edges.

The diagram illustrates symmetrical dead-time insertion around the edges of the reference signal. Two 'delay' labels with double-headed arrows indicate the time interval between the reference signal transition and the output signal transition, which is equal for both rising and falling edges.

The DTAE bit in the TIMx_DTR2 is used to differentiate the deadtime values for rising and falling edges of the reference signal, as shown on Figure 350 .

In asymmetrical mode (DTAE = 1), the rising edge-referred deadtime is defined by the DTG[7:0] bitfield in the TIMx_BDTR register, while the falling edge-referred is defined by the DTGF[7:0] bitfield in the TIMx_DTR2 register. The DTAE bit must be written before enabling the counter and must not be modified while CEN = 1.

It is possible to have the deadtime value updated on-the-fly during pwm operation, using a preload mechanism. The deadtime bitfield DTG[7:0] and DTGF[7:0] are preloaded when the DTPE bit is set in the TIMx_DTR2 register. The preload value is loaded in the active register on the next update event.

Note: If the DTPE bit is enabled while the counter is enabled, any new value written since last update is discarded and previous value is used.

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 31.6.14: TIMx break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR)(x = 16 to 17) for delay calculation.

Redirecting tim_ocxref to tim_ocx or tim_ocxn

In output mode (forced, output compare or PWM), tim_ocxref can be redirected to the tim_ocx output or to tim_ocxn output by configuring the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER register.

This is used to send a specific waveform (such as PWM or static active level) on one output while the complementary remains at its inactive level. Other alternative possibilities are to have both outputs at inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with dead-time.

Note: When only tim_ocxn is enabled (CCxE = 0, CCxNE = 1), it is not complemented and becomes active as soon as tim_ocxref is high. For example, if CCxNP = 0 then tim_ocxn = tim_ocxref. On the other hand, when both tim_ocx and tim_ocxn are enabled (CCxE = CCxNE = 1) tim_ocx becomes active when tim_ocxref is high whereas tim_ocxn is complemented and becomes active when tim_ocxref is low.

31.3.13 Using the break function

The purpose of the break function is to protect power switches driven by PWM signals generated with the timers. The break input is 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.

The break channel gathers both system-level fault (such as clock failure, ECC/parity, and errors) and application fault (from input pins and built-in comparator), and can force the outputs to a predefined level (either active or inactive) after a deadtime duration.

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 function is enabled by setting the BKE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input polarity can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can be modified at the same time. When the BKE and BKP bits are written, a delay of one APB clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait one 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 is generated by the tim_brk inputs which have:

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

The sources for break (tim_brk) channel are:

Break events can also be generated by software using BG bit in the TIMx_EGR register. All sources are ORed before entering the timer tim_brk inputs, as per Figure 353 below.

Figure 353. Break circuitry overview

Figure 353. Break circuitry overview. This block diagram illustrates the internal logic for generating break signals in a timer. The top section shows five 'tim_sys_brk' inputs (tim_sys_brk0 to tim_sys_brkx) each connected to an 'Enable' input of a 5-input AND gate. The output of this gate is 'tim_sys_brk', which is also connected to an 'SBIF flag'. The bottom section shows various break input sources: 'BKINP' (from TIMx_BKIN AF controller), 'BKIN', 'BKCMP1P..BKCMP4P', 'BKCMP1E..BKCMP4E', and 'tim_brk_cmp[8:5]'. These are processed through a series of OR and AND gates, including a 'Filter' block for 'Application break requests' (BKF[3:0]). The final output is 'tim_brk', which is connected to a 'BIF flag'. A 'Software break requests: BG' input is also shown.

The diagram shows the break circuitry overview. At the top, five inputs labeled tim_sys_brk0 , tim_sys_brk1 , tim_sys_brk2 , tim_sys_brk3 , and tim_sys_brkx are each connected to an 'Enable' input of a 5-input AND gate. The output of this gate is tim_sys_brk , which is also connected to an 'SBIF flag'. Below this, the circuitry for external break inputs is shown. BKINP (from TIMx_BKIN AF controller) is connected to an inverter. BKIN is connected to an AND gate. BKCMP1P..BKCMP4P and BKCMP1E..BKCMP4E are connected to OR gates. tim_brk_cmp[4:1] and tim_brk_cmp[8:5] are connected to OR gates. These signals are processed through a series of OR and AND gates, including a 'Filter' block for 'Application break requests' ( BKF[3:0] ). The final output is tim_brk , which is connected to a 'BIF flag'. A 'Software break requests: BG' input is also shown.

A 'Software break requests: BG' input is also shown.

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

When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):

the dead-time duration is a bit longer than usual (around 2 tim_ker_ck clock cycles).

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.

The break inputs are acting on level. Thus, the MOE cannot be set while the break input is active (neither automatically nor by software). In the meantime, the status flag BIF cannot be cleared.

The break can be generated by the tim_brk input which has a programmable polarity and an enable bit BKE in the TIMx_BDTR register.

In addition to the break input and the output management, a write protection has been implemented inside the break circuit to safeguard the application. It is used to freeze the configuration of several parameters (dead-time duration, tim_ocx/tim_ocxn polarities and state when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable, and polarity). The protection can be selected among 3 levels with the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 31.6.14: TIMx break and dead-time register (TIMx_BDTR)(x = 16 to 17) . The LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.

The Figure 354 shows an example of behavior for the outputs in response to a break.

31.3.14 Bidirectional break input

The TIM16/TIM17 are featuring bidirectional break I/Os, as represented on Figure 355 .

They are used to have:

The tim_brk input is configured in bidirectional mode using the BKBID bit in the TIMxBDTR register. The BKBID programming bit can be locked in read-only mode using the LOCK bits in the TIMxBDTR register (in LOCK level 1 or above).

The bidirectional mode requires the I/O to be configured in open-drain mode with active low polarity (using BKINP and BKP bits). Any break request coming either from system (for example 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 event (triggered by setting the BG bit) also causes 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 (BKE = 1). When a software break event is generated with BKE = 0, the outputs are put in safe state and the break flag is set, but there is no effect on the TIM_BKIN 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 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 rearming 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 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 355. Output redirection

Figure 355. Output redirection diagram showing the internal logic for break signal handling in a timer.

The diagram illustrates the internal logic for break signal handling. On the left, 'Other break inputs' and a 'Bidirectional Break I/O TIM_BKIN' (with 'AF input (active low)' and 'AF output (open drain)' connected to Vss) are inputs to an 'AF controller'. The 'AF controller' outputs 'tim_brk_cmp[8:1]' and 'BKIN inputs from AF controller'. These are combined in an AND gate. The output of the AND gate passes through a 'Filter' block labeled 'BKF[3:0]' and then through an inverter labeled 'BKP'. The output of the inverter is combined with 'Application break requests' in an OR gate. The output of this OR gate is labeled 'tim_sys_brk' and is connected to the 'SBIF flag'. This same signal also passes through a 'BKE' (Break Enable) gate. The 'BKE' gate also receives inputs from 'Software break requests: BG' and 'tim_brk'. The output of the 'BKE' gate is labeled 'BIF flag' and 'BRK request'. Below the main logic, a 'Bidirectional mode control logic' block receives 'System break request' and 'tim_brk request' inputs. It outputs three control signals: 'MOE' (Master Output Enable), 'BKBID' (Break Bidirectional), and 'BKDSRM' (Break Disable). The 'MOE' signal is connected to the 'AF output (open drain)' of the 'TIM_BKIN' I/O.

31.3.15 Clearing the tim_ocxref signal on an external event

The tim_ocxref signal of a given channel can be cleared when a high level is applied on the tim_ocref_clr_int input (OCxCE enable bit in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to 1). tim_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.

The tim_ocref_clr_int input can be selected among several inputs, as shown on Figure 509 below.

31.3.16 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 tim_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 357 describes the behavior of the tim_ocx and tim_ocxn outputs when a COM event occurs, in 3 different examples of programmed configurations.

Figure 357. 6-step generation, COM example (OSSR = 1)

Timing diagram showing Counter (CNT), tim_ocxref, COM event, and three examples of tim_ocx and tim_ocxn signals with configuration changes.

The diagram illustrates the relationship between a timer counter (CNT), its reference output (tim_ocxref), a COM event, and three examples of output signals (tim_ocx and tim_ocxn) over time. The counter (CCRx) is shown as a sawtooth wave. The tim_ocxref signal is a periodic square wave. The COM event is a narrow pulse. The examples show different output states based on configuration registers (CCxE, CCxNE, OCxM) and their changes over time.

31.3.17 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 358. Example of one pulse mode.

Timing diagram for one-pulse mode. The diagram shows four waveforms over time (t). 1. tim_ti2: A positive edge-trigger signal. 2. tim_oc1ref: A periodic square wave. 3. tim_oc1: An output pulse that goes high when the counter reaches CCR1 and low when it reaches ARR. 4. Counter: A sawtooth-like waveform that increments from 0 to ARR, then resets to 0. The time from the rising edge of tim_ti2 to the start of the counter is labeled t_DELAY. The duration of the counter's active period (from start to ARR) is labeled t_PULSE. The diagram also shows the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCR1 register values on the counter's y-axis. A small text 'MSV62344V1' is in the bottom right corner.

A small text 'MSV62344V1' is in the bottom right corner.

For example one may want to generate a positive pulse on tim_oc1 with a length of \( t_{PULSE} \) and after a delay of \( t_{DELAY} \) as soon as a positive edge is detected on the tim_ti2 input pin.

Let's use tim_ti2fp2 as trigger 1:

  1. 1. Select the proper tim_ti2_in[15:1] source (internal or external) with the TI2SEL[3:0] bits in the TIMx_TISEL register.
  2. 2. Map tim_ti2fp2 to tim_ti2 by writing CC2S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
  3. 3. tim_ti2fp2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P = 0 and CC2NP = 0 in the TIMx_CCER register.
  4. 4. Configure tim_ti2fp2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (tim_trgi) by writing TS = 00110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
  5. 5. tim_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).

Since only one pulse 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 autoreload value back to 0).

Particular case: tim_ocx fast enable

In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on tim_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 \( t_{\text{DELAY min}} \) that can be obtained.

If one wants to output a waveform with the minimum delay, the OCxFE bit can be set in the TIMx_CCMRx register. Then tim_ocxref (and tim_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.

31.3.18 UIF bit remapping

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

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

31.3.19 Using timer output as trigger for other timers (TIM16/TIM17 only)

The timers with one channel only do not feature a master mode. However, the OC1 output signal can be used to trigger some other timers (including timers described in other sections of this document). Check the “TIMx internal trigger connection” table of any timer on the device to identify which timers can be targeted as slave.

The OC1 signal pulse width must be programmed to be at least two clock cycles of the destination timer, to make sure the slave timer detects the trigger.

For instance, if the destination's timer CK_INT clock is four times slower than the source timer, the OC1 pulse width must be eight clock cycles.

31.3.20 DMA burst mode

The TIMx timers have the capability to generate multiple DMA requests on a single event. The main purpose is to be able to reprogram several timer registers 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 accesses 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

The DBSS[3:0] bits in the TIMx_DCR register defines the interrupt source that triggers the DMA burst transfers (see Section 31.6.20: TIMx DMA control register (TIMx_DCR)(x = 16 to 17) for details).

For example, the timer DMA burst feature can be used to update the contents of the CCRx registers (x = 2, 3, 4) on 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 the 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 and DBSS = 1.
  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 is to be updated once. If every CCRx register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer must 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.

31.3.21 TIM16/TIM17 DMA requests

The TIM16/TIM17 can generate a DMA request, as shown in Table 303 .

31.3.22 Debug mode

When the microcontroller enters debug mode (CPU1 Cortex ® -M33 core halted), the TIMx counter can either continue to work normally or stop.

The behavior in debug mode can be programmed with a dedicated configuration bit per timer in the Debug support (DBG) 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) to force them to Hi-Z.

For more details, refer to the debug section.

Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bit 7 OC1CE : Output Compare 1 clear enable

0: tim_oc1ref is not affected by the tim_ocref_clr input.

1: tim_oc1ref is cleared as soon as a High level is detected on tim_ocref_clr input.

Bits 16, 6:4 OC1M[3:0] : Output Compare 1 mode

These bits define the behavior of the output reference signal tim_oc1ref from which tim_oc1 and tim_oc1n are derived. tim_oc1ref is active high whereas tim_oc1 and tim_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. tim_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. tim_oc1ref signal is forced low when the counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 1 (TIMx_CCR1).

0011: Toggle - tim_oc1ref toggles when TIMx_CNT = TIMx_CCR1.

0100: Force inactive level - tim_oc1ref is forced low.

0101: Force active level - tim_oc1ref is forced high.

0110: PWM mode 1 - Channel 1 is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else inactive.

0111: PWM mode 2 - Channel 1 is inactive as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR1 else active.

Others: Reserved

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).

In PWM mode, the OCREF level changes when the result of the comparison changes, when the output compare mode switches from "frozen" mode to "PWM" mode and when the output compare mode switches from "force active/inactive" mode to "PWM" mode.

Bit 3 OC1PE : Output Compare 1 preload enable

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

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

Note: These bits can not be modified as long as LOCK level 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register) and CC1S = 00 (the channel is configured in output).

Bit 2 OC1FE : Output Compare 1 fast enable

This bit 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.

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

1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on CC1 output. Then, tim_ocx is set to the compare level independently of the result of the comparison. Delay to sample the trigger input and to activate CC1 output is reduced to 3 clock cycles.

OC1FE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.

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

This bitfield defines the direction of the channel (input/output) as well as the used input.

00: CC1 channel is configured as output

Bit 3 CC1NP : Capture/Compare 1 complementary output polarity

CC1 channel configured as output:

0: tim_oc1n active high

1: tim_oc1n active low

CC1 channel configured as input:

This bit is used in conjunction with CC1P to define the polarity of tim_ti1fp1. Refer to the description of CC1P.

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 (the channel is configured in output).

On channels that have 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 - tim_oc1n is not active. tim_oc1n level is then function of MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N and CC1E bits.

1: On - tim_oc1n signal is output on the corresponding output pin depending on MOE, OSSI, OSSR, OIS1, OIS1N and CC1E bits.

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).

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).

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).

CC1NP = 1, CC1P = 0: this 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 that have 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 306 for details.

This bitfield defines the update rate of the compare registers (i.e. periodic transfers from preload to active registers) when preload registers are enable. It also defines the update interrupt generation rate, if this interrupt is enable.

When the repetition down-counter reaches zero, an update event is generated and it restarts counting from REP value. As the repetition counter is reloaded with REP value only at the repetition update event UEV, any write to the TIMx_RCR register is not taken in account until the next repetition update event.

It means in PWM mode (REP+1) corresponds to the number of PWM periods in edge-aligned mode:

Note: As the BKBID, BKDSRM, BKF[3:0], AOE, BKP, BKE, OSSI, OSSR, and DTG[7:0] bits may be write-locked depending on the LOCK configuration, it may be necessary to configure all of them during the first write access to the TIMx_BDTR register.

Bits 31:29 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bit 28 BKBID : Break Bidirectional

0: Break input tim_brk in input mode

1: Break input tim_brk in bidirectional mode

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

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

Bit 27 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bit 26 BKDSRM : Break Disarm

0: Break input tim_brk is armed

1: Break input tim_brk is disarmed

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.

Bits 25:20 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 19:16 BKF[3:0] : Break filter

This bitfield defines the frequency used to sample tim_brk input and the length of the digital filter applied to tim_brk. The digital filter is made of an event counter in which N events are needed to validate a transition on the output:

0000: No filter, tim_brk acts asynchronously

0001: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{tim\_ker\_ck}} \) , N = 2

0010: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{tim\_ker\_ck}} \) , N = 4

0011: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{tim\_ker\_ck}} \) , N = 8

0100: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/2 \) , N = 6

0101: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/2 \) , N = 8

0110: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/4 \) , N = 6

0111: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/4 \) , N = 8

1000: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/8 \) , N = 6

1001: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/8 \) , N = 8

1010: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/16 \) , N = 5

1011: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/16 \) , N = 6

1100: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/16 \) , N = 8

1101: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/32 \) , N = 5

1110: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/32 \) , N = 6

1111: \( f_{\text{SAMPLING}} = f_{\text{DTS}}/32 \) , N = 8

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

Bit 15 MOE : Main output enable

This bit is cleared asynchronously by hardware as soon as the tim_brk input is active. 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: tim_oc1 and tim_oc1n outputs are disabled or forced to idle state depending on the OSSI bit.

1: tim_oc1 and tim_oc1n outputs are enabled if their respective enable bits are set (CC1E, CC1NE in TIMx_CCER register)

See tim_oc1/tim_oc1n enable description for more details ( Section 31.6.8: TIMx capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 16 to 17) ).

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 the tim_brk input is not 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 tim_brk is active low

1: Break input tim_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).

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

Bit 12 BKE : Break enable

0: Break inputs (tim_brk and tim_sys_brk event) disabled

1: Break inputs (tim_brk and tim_sys_brk event) enabled

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

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 that have a complementary output which are configured as outputs. OSSR is not implemented if no complementary output is implemented in the timer.
See tim_oc1/tim_oc1n enable description for more details ( Section 31.6.8: TIMx capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 16 to 17) ).

0: When inactive, tim_oc1/tim_oc1n outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which is taken over by the GPIO, which forces a Hi-Z state)

1: When inactive, tim_oc1/tim_oc1n outputs are enabled with their inactive level as soon as CC1E = 1 or CC1NE = 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 on channels configured as outputs.
See tim_oc1/tim_oc1n enable description for more details ( Section 31.6.8: TIMx capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)(x = 16 to 17) ).

0: When inactive, tim_oc1/tim_oc1n outputs are disabled (tim_oc1/tim_oc1n enable output signal = 0)

1: When inactive, tim_oc1/tim_oc1n outputs are forced first with their idle level as soon as CC1E = 1 or CC1NE = 1. tim_oc1/tim_oc1n enable output signal = 1)

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 BKBID/BKE/BKP/AOE 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 bitfield defines the duration of the dead-time inserted between the complementary outputs. DT correspond to this duration.

DTG[7:5] = 0xx → DT = DTG[7:0] × \( t_{dtg} \) with \( t_{dtg} = t_{DTS} \)

DTG[7:5] = 10x → DT = (64+DTG[5:0]) × \( t_{dtg} \) with \( T_{dtg} = 2 \times t_{DTS} \)

DTG[7:5] = 110 → DT = (32+DTG[4:0]) × \( t_{dtg} \) with \( T_{dtg} = 8 \times t_{DTS} \)

DTG[7:5] = 111 → DT = (32+DTG[4:0]) × \( t_{dtg} \) 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 bitfield can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1, 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
