17. General purpose timer (TIM16/17)

17.1 TIM16/17 introduction

The TIM16/17 timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler.

They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM, complementary PWM with deadtime 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. TIM16/17 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources.

17.3 TIM16/17 functional description

17.3.1 Time-base unit

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

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

The time-base unit includes:

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

The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the counter enable bit (CEN) in the TIMx_CR1 register is set (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 70. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 2 and Figure 71. Counter timing diagram with prescaler division change from 1 to 4 give some examples of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on-the-fly.

17.3.2 Counter modes

Up-counting mode

In up-counting 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 up-counting is repeated for the number of times programmed in the repetition counter register (TIMx_RCR). Otherwise, 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 the 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.

17.3.3 Repetition counter

Section 17.3.1: 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 auto-reload register, TIMx_PSC prescaler register, but also TIMx_CCRx capture/compare registers in compare mode) every N counter overflow, 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 auto-reload type; the repetition rate is maintained as defined by the TIMx_RCR register value (refer to Figure 78. Update rate examples depending on mode and TIMx_RCR register settings).

When the update event is generated by software (by setting the UG bit in the 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.

17.3.4 Clock selection

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

Internal clock source (CK_INT)

The CEN, DIR (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are 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.

17.3.5 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) and an output stage (with comparator and output control).

Figure 80. Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) to Figure 82. Output stage of capture/compare channel (channel 1) 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 80. Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage)

Figure 80: Capture/compare channel (example: channel 1 input stage) block diagram. The diagram shows the input stage starting with TI1 input, which passes through a filter downcounter (controlled by ICF[3:0] from TIMx_CCMR1) to produce TI1F. This signal then goes through an Edge Detector (controlled by CC1P/CC1NP from TIMx_CCER) to produce TI1F_Rising and TI1F_Falling signals. These signals are combined with TI2F signals (rising and falling from channel 2) via multiplexers to produce TI1FP1 and TI2FP1 signals. TI1FP1 is connected to an OR gate to produce TI1F_ED, which is sent to the slave mode controller. TI2FP1 is connected to a multiplexer (controlled by TRC from slave mode controller) to produce IC1. IC1 is then passed through a divider (/1, /2, /4, /8) controlled by CC1S[1:0] and ICPS[1:0] from TIMx_CCMR1 and CC1E from TIMx_CCER to produce IC1PS.

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 81: Capture/compare channel 1 main circuit block diagram. This diagram shows the main circuitry of the capture/compare channel. It includes an APB Bus connected to an MCU-peripheral interface. The interface controls a Capture/compare preload register and a Capture/compare shadow register. The preload register is loaded from the APB Bus via write CCR1H and write CCR1L signals. The shadow register is loaded from the preload register via capture_transfer and compare_transfer signals. The shadow register is connected to a Counter and a Comparator. The Counter is controlled by CC1G from TIMx_EGR. The Comparator compares the Counter value (CNT) with the CCR1 value. The output of the Comparator is connected to an output mode multiplexer (controlled by CC1S[1] and CC1S[0]) to produce OC1PE. The output mode multiplexer is also controlled by UEV from the time base unit and OC1PE from TIMx_CCMR1. The output stage also includes a capture/compare shadow register and a capture/compare preload register. The preload register is loaded from the APB Bus via write CCR1H and write CCR1L signals. The shadow register is loaded from the preload register via capture_transfer and compare_transfer signals. The shadow register is connected to a Counter and a Comparator. The Counter is controlled by CC1G from TIMx_EGR. The Comparator compares the Counter value (CNT) with the CCR1 value.

Figure 82. Output stage of capture/compare channel (channel 1)

Block diagram of the output stage of capture/compare channel 1.

The diagram illustrates the signal path for timer channel 1. It starts with inputs CNT>CCR1 , CNT=CCR1 , and OC2REF entering an Output mode controller . This feeds into an Output selector , which also receives OC1REF . The output OC1REF is sent to the master mode controller and a Dead-time generator . The dead-time generator produces OC1_DT and OC1N_DT . These signals pass through multiplexers controlled by CC1P and CC1NP bits. Finally, Output enable circuits (controlled by MOE , OSSI , OSSR , CC1E , and CC1NE ) drive the OC1 and OC1N output pins. Control registers involved include TIMx_CCMR1 , TIMx_BDTR , and TIMx_CCER .

Block diagram of the output stage of capture/compare channel 1.

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.

17.3.6 Input capture mode

In input capture mode, the capture/compare registers (TIMx_CCR x ) are used to latch the value of the counter after a transition detected by the corresponding IC x signal. When a capture occurs, the corresponding CC x IF 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 CC x IF flag was already high, then the overcapture flag CC x OF (TIMx_SR register) is set. CC x IF can be cleared by software by writing it to '0' or by reading the captured data stored in the TIMx_CCR x register. CC x OF is cleared when it is written to '0'.

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

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.

17.3.7 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, 101 needs to be written in the OCxM bits in the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register. Thus, OCxREF is forced high (OCxREF is always active high) and OCx gets an opposite value to CCxP polarity bit.

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

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

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

17.3.8 Output compare mode

This function is used to control an output waveform or indicate 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 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:
    1. a. Write OCxM = 0011 to toggle OCx output pin when CNT matches CCRx
    2. b. Write OCxPE = 0 to disable preload register
    3. c. Write CCxP = 0 to select active high polarity
    4. d. 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', otherwise the TIMx_CCRx shadow register is updated only at the next update event UEV). An example is given in Figure 83. Output compare mode, toggle on OC1

17.3.9 PWM mode

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

PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCx output) by writing '110' (PWM mode 1) or '111' (PWM mode 2) in the OCxM bits in the TIMx_CCMRx register. The user must enable the corresponding preload register by setting the OCxPE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register, and eventually the auto-reload preload register (in up-counting 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 the 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 TIM16/17 is able to upcount only. Refer to the up-counting mode.

In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is high as long as \( TIMx\_CNT < TIMx\_CCRx \) , otherwise 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 84. Edge-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8) shows some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.

Figure 84. Edge-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)

Timing diagram showing edge-aligned PWM waveforms for different CCRx values.

17.3.10 Complementary outputs and deadtime insertion

The TIM16/17 general-purpose timers can output one complementary signal and manage the switching-off and the switching-on instants of the outputs.

This time is generally known as the deadtime and it has to be adjusted depending on the devices connected to the outputs and their characteristics (intrinsic delays of level-shifters, delays due to power switches...).

The user can select the polarity of the outputs (main output OCx or complementary OCxN) 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 81. Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break feature for more details. In particular, the deadtime is activated when switching to the idle-state (MOE falling down to 0).

The deadtime 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 deadtime 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 deadtime generator and the reference signal OCxREF (we suppose CCxP=0, CCxNP=0, MOE=1, CCxE=1 and CCxNE=1 in these examples).

OCx and OCxN are complementary outputs. Deadtime is indicated by a double-headed arrow labeled 'delay' between the transitions of OCx and OCxN.

The deadtime delay is the same for each of the channels and is programmable with the DTG bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to Section 17.4.13: TIM16/17 break and deadtime register (TIMx_BDTR) for delay calculation.

Re-directing OCxREF to OCx or OCxN

In output mode (forced, output compare or PWM), OCxREF can be re-directed to the OCx output or to OCxN output by configuring the CCxE and CCxNE bits in the TIMx_CCER register.

This allows a specific waveform (such as PWM or static active level) to be sent on one output while the complementary remains in its inactive level. Other alternative possibilities are to have both outputs at inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with deadtime.

Note: When OCxN is enabled (CCxE=0, CCxNE=1) only, 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.

17.3.11 Using the break function

The purpose of the break function is to protect power switches driven by PWM signals generated with the TIM16/17 timers. 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.

When the break function is used, the output enable signals and inactive levels are modified according to additional control bits (MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR register, OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register). In any case, the OCx and OCxN outputs cannot be set both to active level at a given time. Refer to Table 81. Output control bits for complementary OCx and OCxN channels with break feature for more details.

When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. The user can enable the break function by setting the BKE and BKE2 bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input global polarity can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKEx and BKP can be modified at the same time. When the BKEx and BKPx bits are written, a delay of 1 APB clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait for 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 written to 1 whereas it was low, a delay (dummy instruction) must be inserted before reading it correctly. This is because the asynchronous signal is written and the synchronous signal is read.

The break is generated by the BRK inputs which have:

Note: An asynchronous (clockless) operation is only guaranteed when the programmable filter is disabled.

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

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

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

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 user to freeze the configuration of several parameters (deadtime duration, OCx/OCxN polarities and state when disabled, OCxM configurations, break enable and polarity). The user can choose from 3 levels of protection selected by the LOCK bits in the TIMx_BDTR register. Refer to TIM16&TIM17 break and deadtime register (TIMx_BDTR). The LOCK bits can be written only once after an MCU reset.

The figure below shows an example of behavior of the outputs in response to a break.

Figure 88. Various output behavior in response to a break event on BRK (OSSI = 1)

The diagram illustrates how different output configurations (e.g., OCxN not implemented, CCxP=0, OISx=1) affect the output state and delay after a break event. The break event is indicated by a vertical dashed line labeled 'BREAK (MOE = 1)'.

17.3.12 Bidirectional break inputs

The TIM16/TIM17 feature bidirectional break I/Os, as represented in Figure 89. Output redirection.

They allow:

The break 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 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 (BG) 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 break I/O.

A safe disarming mechanism prevents the system from being 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 can the break protection circuitry be disabled:

See the table below:

Table 80. Break protection disarming conditions

010Armed
011Disarmed
1XXArmed

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 event:

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

The diagram illustrates the internal logic for output redirection and break protection. On the left, a 'Bidirectional Break I/O' is connected to an 'AF input (active low)' which passes through an inverter to an 'AF Controller'. Below the input, an 'AF output (open drain)' is connected to the 'AF Controller' and pulled down to 'Vss'. The 'AF Controller' provides 'BKIN inputs from AF controller' to a logic block. This logic block also receives 'BKP' and 'BKE' signals. A 'Software break requests: BG' signal is also input to this logic. The logic block generates a 'BRK request' signal. To the right, the 'BRK request' signal is ANDed with a constant '1' to produce a 'BIF flag' and a 'BRK request' output. Below the main logic, 'Bidirectional Mode Control Logic' is shown, which is connected to 'MOE', 'BKBID', and 'BKDSRM' registers and also connected to 'Vss'.

17.3.13

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.

The waveform can be generated in output compare mode or PWM mode. The user selects one-pulse mode by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically at the next update event UEV.

A pulse can be correctly generated only if the compare value is different from the counter initial value. Before starting, the configuration must be:

Figure 90. Example of one-pulse mode

Timing diagram for one-pulse mode. The diagram shows four waveforms over time (t). 1. TI1: A single positive pulse. 2. OC1REF: A signal that goes high when TI1 is high and returns low when the counter reaches TIMx_ARR. 3. OC1: A signal that goes high when the counter reaches TIMx_CCR1 and returns low when the counter reaches TIMx_ARR. 4. Counter: A staircase waveform starting at 0 and increasing until it reaches TIMx_ARR, at which point it resets to 0. The time interval from the rising edge of TI1 to the rising edge of OC1 is labeled t_DELAY. The time interval from the rising edge of OC1 to the falling edge of OC1REF is labeled t_PULSE.

OC1REF: A signal that goes high when TI1 is high and returns low when the counter reaches TIMx_ARR. 3.

The time interval from the rising edge of TI1 to the rising edge of OC1 is labeled t_DELAY. The time interval from the rising edge of OC1 to the falling edge of OC1REF is labeled t_PULSE.

For example, the user may want to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of \( t_{PULSE} \) and after a delay of \( t_{DELAY} \) .

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

Only 1 pulse is wanted, so write '1' in the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register to stop the counter at the next update event (when the counter rolls over from the auto-reload value back to 0).

Particular case: OCx fast enable:

In one-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input sets the CEN bit, which enables the counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the output toggle. Several clock cycles are needed for these operations. The minimum delay \( t_{DELAY} \) is the minimum we can get.

If it is necessary to output a waveform with the minimum delay, the user can set the OCxFE bit in the TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) is forced in response to the stimulus, without taking the comparison into account. 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.

17.3.14 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 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.

17.3.15 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 re-program 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 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

For example, the timer DMA burst feature could 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:
    1. a. DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address
    2. b. 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
    3. c. Number of data to transfer = 3
    4. d. 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 is to be updated once. If every CCRx register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6. We can 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.

17.4.6 TIM16/17 capture/compare mode register 1 (TIMx_CCMR1)

Address offset: 0x18

Reset value: 0x0000

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

Output compare mode:

Bits 31:17Reserved, always read as 0.
Bit 6OC1M[3]: Output compare 1 mode - bit 3

OC1M[2:0]: Output compare 1 mode (bits 2 to 0)
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.
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 - 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
All other values: Reserved
Note 1: These bits cannot 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 2: 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.
Bit 3OC1PE: Output compare 1 preload enable

0: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 disabled. TIMx_CCR1 can be written at anytime, the new value is taken into account immediately.
1: Preload register on TIMx_CCR1 enabled. Read/write operations access the preload register. TIMx_CCR1 preload value is loaded in the active register at each update event.
Note 1: These bits cannot 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 2: The PWM mode can be used without validating the preload register only in one-pulse mode (OPM bit set in TIMx_CR1 register). Otherwise the behavior is not guaranteed.
Bit 2

OC1FE : Output compare 1 fast enable

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

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

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

CC1 channel configured as input:

This bit is used in conjunction with CC1P to define the polarity of TI1FP1 and TI2FP1. Refer to the description of CC1P.
Note 1. 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). 2. 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 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.

Bit 1

CC1P: Capture/compare 1 output polarity.

CC1 channel configured as output:

0: OC1 active high
1: OC1 active low

CC1 channel configured as input:

The CC1NP/CC1P bits select the polarity of TI1FP1 and TI2FP1 for trigger or capture operations.

00: Non-inverted/rising edge. The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 rising edge (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted (trigger operation in gated mode).
01: Inverted/falling edge. The circuit is sensitive to TIxFP1 falling edge (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is inverted (trigger operation in gated mode).
10: Reserved, do not use this configuration.
11: Non-inverted/both edges. The circuit is sensitive to both TIxFP1 rising and falling edges (capture or trigger operations in reset, external clock or trigger mode), TIxFP1 is not inverted (trigger operation in gated mode).

Notes: 1. This bit is not writable as soon as LOCK level 2 or 3 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).
2. 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

CC1 channel configured as output:

REP[7:0]: Repetition counter value.

These bits allow the user to set-up the update rate of the compare registers (i.e. periodic transfers from preload to active registers) when preload registers are enabled, as well as the update interrupt generation rate, if this interrupt is enabled.

Each time the REP_CNT related down-counter 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 into account until the next repetition update event.

Note: As the BKBID, BKDSRM, AOE, BKP, BKE, OSSI, OSSR, and DTG[7:0] bits and all used bits of TIMx_AF1 register 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 31:29Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bit 28

BKBID : Break bidirectional

0: Break input BRK in input mode

1: Break input 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).

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

Bit 27Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bit 26

BKDSRM : Break disarm

0: Break input BRK is armed

1: Break input 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 25:16Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bit 15

MOE : Main output enable

This bit is cleared asynchronously by hardware as soon as the break 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: 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 17.4.7: TIM16/17 capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)

Bit 13BKP : Break polarity

0: Break input BRK is active low

1: Break input BRK is active high

Note: 1. This bit can not be modified as long as LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register). 2. 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 (BRK) disabled

1: Break inputs (BRK) enabled

Note: 1. This bit cannot be modified when LOCK level 1 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register). 2. 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 OC/OCN enable description for more details Section 17.4.7: TIM16/17 capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)

0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (the timer releases the output control which is taken over by the AFIO 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 on channels configured as outputs.

See OC/OCN enable description for more details Section 17.4.7: TIM16/17 capture/compare enable register (TIMx_CCER)

0: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are disabled (OC/OCN enable output signal=0)

1: When inactive, OC/OCN outputs are forced first with their idle level as soon as CCxE=1 or CCxNE=1. OC/OCN enable output signal=1

Note: This bit cannot be modified when LOCK level 2 has been programmed (LOCK bits in TIMx_BDTR register).

Bit 9:8

LOCK[1:0]: Lock configuration

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, BKE/BKP/AOE/BKBID/BKDSRM bits in TIMx_BDTR register and all used bits in TIMx_AF1 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]: Deadtime generator setup.

This bit-field defines the duration of the deadtime inserted between the complementary outputs. DT matches this duration.

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

Example if \( T_{DTS} = 125 \) ns (8 MHz), deadtime 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
