General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3) RM0367
504/1043 RM0367 Rev 7
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRx are always compared to determine
whether TIMx_CCRx ≤ TIMx_CNT or TIMx_CNT ≤ TIMx_CCRx (depending on the direction
of the counter). However, to comply with the OCREF_CLR functionality (OCREF can be
cleared by an external event through the ETR signal until the next PWM period), the
OCREF signal is asserted only:
• When the result of the comparison changes, or
• When the output compare mode (OCxM bits in TIMx_CCMRx register) switches from
the “frozen” configuration (no comparison, OCxM=‘000) to one of the PWM modes
(OCxM=‘110 or ‘111).
This forces the PWM by software while the timer is running.
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode or center-aligned mode
depending on the CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register.
PWM edge-aligned mode
Upcounting configuration
Upcounting is active when the DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to Section :
Upcounting mode on page 483.
In the following example, we consider PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCxREF is
high as long as TIMx_CNT <TIMx_CCRx else it becomes low. If the compare value in
TIMx_CCRx is greater than the auto-reload value (in TIMx_ARR) then OCxREF is held at ‘1.
If the compare value is 0 then OCxREF is held at ‘0. Figure 136 shows some edge-aligned
PWM waveforms in an example where TIMx_ARR=8.
For code example, refer to A.11.8: Edge-aligned PWM configuration example.
