RM0008 General-purpose timers (TIM9 to TIM14)
Doc ID 13902 Rev 12 427/1096
Slave mode: Gated mode
The counter can be enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter counts only when TI1 input is low:
1. Configure the channel 1 to detect low levels 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 TIMx_CCMR1 register. Program
CC1P=’1’ and CC1NP= ‘0’ in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect
low level only).
2. Configure the timer in gated mode by writing SMS=’101’ in TIMx_SMCR register.
Select TI1 as the input source by writing TS=’101’ in TIMx_SMCR register.
3. Enable the counter by writing CEN=’1’ in the TIMx_CR1 register (in gated mode, the
counter doesn’t start if CEN=’0’, whatever is the trigger input level).
The counter starts counting on the internal clock as long as TI1 is low and stops as soon as
TI1 becomes high. The TIF flag in the TIMx_SR register is set both when the counter starts
or stops.
The delay between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual stop of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI1 input.
