12.4.19 Timers and external trigger synchronization
The TIM timers can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: Reset mode,
Gated mode and Trigger mode.
Slave mode: Reset mode
The counter and its prescaler can be reinitialized in response to an event on a trigger input.
Moreover, if the URS bit from the TIM1_CR1 register is low, an update event UEV is
generated. Then all the preloaded registers (TIM1_ARR, TIM1_CCRx) are updated.
In the following example, the up-counter is cleared in response to a rising edge on TI1 input:
● Configure the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we don’t need any filter, so we keep IC1F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so you don’t need to configure it. The CC1S bits
select the input capture source only, CC1S = 01 in the TIM1_CCMR1 register. Write
CC1P=0 in TIM1_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edges only).
● Configure the timer in reset mode by writing SMS=100 in TIM1_SMCR register. Select
TI1 as the input source by writing TS=101 in TIM1_SMCR register.
● Start the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIM1_CR1 register.
The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until TI1 rising
edge. When TI1 rises, the counter is cleared and restarts from 0. In the meantime, the
trigger flag is set (TIF bit in the TIM1_SR register) and an interrupt request, or a DMA
request can be sent if enabled (depending on the TIE and TDE bits in TIM1_DIER register).
The following figure shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIM1_ARR=0x36.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.
