Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8) RM0402

16.3.4 Clock selection
The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
• Internal clock (CK_INT)
• External clock mode1: external input pin
• External clock mode2: external trigger input ETR
• Internal trigger inputs (ITRx): using one timer as prescaler for another timer, for
example, Timer 1 can be configured to act as a prescaler for Timer 2. Refer to Using
one timer as prescaler for another timer for more details.
Internal clock source (CK_INT)
If the slave mode controller is disabled (SMS=000), then the CEN, DIR (in the TIMx_CR1
register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual control bits and can be changed
only by software (except UG which remains cleared automatically). As soon as the CEN bit
is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.
Figure 98 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

External clock source mode 1
This mode is selected when SMS=111 in the TIMx_SMCR register. The counter can count at
each rising or falling edge on a selected input.
