To activate the Encoder mode the ENC bit has to be set to ‘1’. The LPTIM must first be
configured in Continuous mode.
When Encoder mode is active, the LPTIM counter is modified automatically following the
speed and the direction of the incremental encoder. Therefore, its content always
represents the encoder’s position. The count direction, signaled by the Up and Down flags,
correspond to the rotation direction of the encoder rotor.
According to the edge sensitivity configured using the CKPOL[1:0] bits, different counting
scenarios are possible. The following table summarizes the possible combinations,
assuming that Input1 and Input2 do not switch at the same time.
The following figure shows a counting sequence for Encoder mode where both-edge
sensitivity is configured.
Caution: In this mode the LPTIM must be clocked by an internal clock source, so the CKSEL bit must
be maintained to its reset value which is equal to ‘0’. Also, the prescaler division ratio must
be equal to its reset value which is 1 (PRESC[2:0] bits must be ‘000’).
