General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5) RM0390
544/1328 RM0390 Rev 4
TIMx_CR1 register is updated by hardware and must not be changed by software. Refer to
Center-aligned mode (up/down counting) on page 529.
Figure 189 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:
• TIMx_ARR=8,
• PWM mode is the PWM mode 1,
• The flag is set when the counter counts down corresponding to the center-aligned
mode 1 selected for CMS=01 in TIMx_CR1 register.
Figure 189. Center-aligned PWM waveforms (ARR=8)
Hints on using center-aligned mode:
• When starting in center-aligned mode, the current up-down configuration is used. It
means that the counter counts up or down depending on the value written in the DIR bit
