Advanced-control timers (TIM1)
549
The OPM waveform is defined by writing the compare registers (taking into account the
clock frequency and the counter prescaler).
•
The t
DELAY
is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.
•
The t
PULSE
is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare
value (TIMx_ARR - TIMx_CCR1).
•
Let’s say you want to build a waveform with a transition from ‘0’ to ‘1’ when a compare
match occurs and a transition from ‘1’ to ‘0’ when the counter reaches the auto-reload
value. To do this you enable PWM mode 2 by writing OC1M=111 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register. You can optionally enable the preload registers by writing OC1PE=’1’ in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register and ARPE in the TIMx_CR1 register. In this case you have to
write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in the
TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the UG bit and wait for external
trigger event on TI2. CC1P is written to ‘0’ in this example.
In our example, the DIR and CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register should be low.
You only want 1 pulse (Single mode), so you 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). When OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set to '0', so the
Repetitive Mode is selected.
Particular case: OCx fast enable:
In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the
output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the
minimum delay t
DELAY
min we can get.
If you want to output a waveform with the minimum delay, you can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) are forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
20.3.20 Retriggerable one pulse mode (OPM)
This mode allows the counter to be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a
pulse with a programmable length, but with the following differences with Non-retriggerable
one pulse mode described in
–
The pulse starts as soon as the trigger occurs (no programmable delay)
–
The pulse is extended if a new trigger occurs before the previous one is completed
The timer must be in Slave mode, with the bits SMS[3:0] = ‘1000’ (Combined Reset + trigger
mode) in the TIMx_SMCR register, and the OCxM[3:0] bits set to ‘1000’ or ‘1001’ for
Retrigerrable OPM mode 1 or 2.
If the timer is configured in Up-counting mode, the corresponding CCRx must be set to 0
(the ARR register sets the pulse length). If the timer is configured in Down-counting mode,
CCRx must be above or equal to ARR.
Note:
The OCxM[3:0] and SMS[3:0] bit fields are split into two parts for compatibility reasons, the
most significant bit are not contiguous with the 3 least significant ones.
This mode must not be used with center-aligned PWM modes. It is mandatory to have
CMS[1:0] = 00 in TIMx_CR1.
