18.3 TIM16 and TIM17 main features
The TIM16 and TIM17 timers include the following features:
● 16-bit auto-reload upcounter
● 16-bit programmable prescaler used to divide (also “on the fly”) the counter clock
frequency by any factor between 1 and 65535
● One channel for:
– Input capture
– Output compare
– PWM generation (Edge-aligned mode)
– One-pulse mode output
● Complementary outputs with programmable dead-time
● Repetition counter to update the timer registers only after a given number of cycles of
the counter
● Break input to put the timer’s output signals in the reset state or a known state
● Interrupt/DMA generation on the following events:
– Update: counter overflow
– Trigger event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)
– Input capture
– Output compare
– Break input
