RM0090 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)
Doc ID 018909 Rev 4 446/1422
Particular case: OCx fast enable:
In One-pulse mode, the edge detection on TIx input set the CEN bit which enables the
counter. Then the comparison between the counter and the compare value makes the
output toggle. But several clock cycles are needed for these operations and it limits the
minimum delay t

min we can get.
If you want to output a waveform with the minimum delay, you can set the OCxFE bit in the
TIMx_CCMRx register. Then OCxRef (and OCx) is forced in response to the stimulus,
without taking in account the comparison. Its new level is the same as if a compare match
had occurred. OCxFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM1 or PWM2 mode.
15.3.11 Clearing the OCxREF signal on an external event
The OCxREF signal for a given channel can be driven Low by applying a High level to the
ETRF input (OCxCE enable bit of the corresponding TIMx_CCMRx register set to '1'). The
OCxREF signal remains Low until the next update event, UEV, occurs.
This function can only be used in output compare and PWM modes, and does not work in
forced mode.
For example, the ETR signal can be connected to the output of a comparator to be used for
current handling. In this case, ETR must be configured as follows:
1. The external trigger prescaler should be kept off: bits ETPS[1:0] in the TIMx_SMCR
register are cleared to 00.
2. The external clock mode 2 must be disabled: bit ECE in the TIM1_SMCR register is
cleared to 0.
3. The external trigger polarity (ETP) and the external trigger filter (ETF) can be
configured according to the application’s needs.
Figure 152 shows the behavior of the OCxREF signal when the ETRF input becomes high,
for both values of the OCxCE enable bit. In this example, the timer TIMx is programmed in
PWM mode.

overflow.
