Figure 188. Control circuit in gated mode
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 external trigger input circuit by programming the TIMx_SMCR register as
follows:
– ETF = 0000: no filter
– ETPS = 00: prescaler disabled
– ETP = 0: detection of rising edges on ETR and ECE=1 to enable the external clock
mode 2.
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. The CC2S bits
are configured to select the input capture source only, CC2S=’01’ in TIMx_CCMR1
register. Program 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.
