Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8)

preload registers. Then no update event occurs until the UDIS bit has been written to 0.
However, the counter restarts from 0, as well as the counter of the prescaler (but the
prescale rate does not change). In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in
TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the UG bit generates an update event UEV but without
setting the UIF flag (thus no interrupt or DMA request is sent). This is to avoid generating
both update and capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the capture event.
When an update event occurs, all the registers are updated and the update flag (UIF bit in
TIMx_SR register) is set (depending on the URS bit):
•
The repetition counter is reloaded with the content of TIMx_RCR register,
•
The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the preload value (TIMx_ARR),
•
The buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC
register).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies when TIMx_ARR=0x36.
