For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the
following procedure:
1. Select the proper ETR source (internal or external) with the ETRSEL[3:0] bits in the
TIMx_AF1 register.
2. As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0]=0000 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
3. Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0]=01 in the TIMx_SMCR register
4. Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP=0 in the TIMx_SMCR
register
5. Enable external clock mode 2 by writing ECE=1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
6. Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The counter counts once each 2 ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on ETR and the actual clock of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal. As a consequence, the maximum frequency
which can be correctly captured by the counter is at most ¼ of TIMxCLK frequency. When
the ETRP signal is faster, the user should apply a division of the external signal by a proper
ETPS prescaler setting.
