General-purpose timers (TIM2/TIM3) RM0367
514/1043 RM0367 Rev 7
Slave mode: Trigger mode
The counter can start in response to an event on a selected input.
In the following example, the upcounter starts in response to a rising edge on TI2 input:
1. Configure the channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2. Configure the input filter duration
(in this example, we do not need any filter, so we keep IC2F=0000). The capture
prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured. CC2S bits are
selecting the input capture source only, CC2S=01 in TIMx_CCMR1 register. Write
CC2P=1 and CC2NP=0 in TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low
level only).
2. Configure the timer in trigger mode by writing SMS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register. Select
TI2 as the input source by writing TS=110 in TIMx_SMCR register.
For code example, refer to A.11.14: Trigger mode code example.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the
TIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual start of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on TI2 input.
