RM0008 Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8)
Doc ID 13902 Rev 12 281/1096
14.2 TIM1&TIM8 main features
TIM1&TIM8 timer features include:
● 16-bit up, down, up/down auto-reload counter.
● 16-bit programmable prescaler allowing dividing (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency either by any factor between 1 and 65535.
● Up to 4 independent channels for:
– Input Capture
– Output Compare
– PWM generation (Edge and Center-aligned Mode)
– One-pulse mode output
● Complementary outputs with programmable dead-time
● Synchronization circuit to control the timer with external signals and to interconnect
several timers together.
● Repetition counter to update the timer registers only after a given number of cycles of
the counter.
● Break input to put the timer’s output signals in reset state or in a known state.
● Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
– Update: counter overflow/underflow, counter initialization (by software or
internal/external trigger)
– Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)
– Input capture
– Output compare
– Break input
● Supports incremental (quadrature) encoder and hall-sensor cicuitry for positioning
purposes
● Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management
