Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8) RM0008
216/690
In addition, if the URS bit (update request selection) in TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the
UG bit generates an UEV update event 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 buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the preload value (content of the TIMx_PSC
register)
● The auto-reload active register is updated with the preload value (content of the
TIMx_ARR register). Note that if the update source is a counter overflow, the auto-
reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected
one (the counter is loaded with the new value).
The following figures show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock
frequencies.
