Example Description

This example shows how to update the TIM1 channel1 period and the duty cycle using the TIM DMA burst feature.

Every update DMA request, the DMA will do 3 transfers of half words into Timer registers beginning from ARR register. On the DMA update request, 0x0FFF will be transferred into ARR, 0x0000 will be transferred into RCR, 0x0555 will be transferred into CCR1.

The TIM1CLK frequency is set to SystemCoreClock (Hz), to get TIM1 counter clock at 24 MHz the Prescaler is computed as following:

• Prescaler = (TIM1CLK / TIM1 counter clock) - 1

SystemCoreClock is set to 48 MHz.

The TIM1 period is 5.8 KHz: TIM1 Frequency = TIM1 counter clock/(ARR + 1) = 24 MHz / 4096 = 5.8 KHz

The TIM1 CCR1 register value is equal to 0x555, so the TIM1 Channel 1 generates a PWM signal with a frequency equal to 5.8 KHz and a duty cycle equal to 33.33%: TIM1 Channel1 duty cycle = (TIM1_CCR1/ TIM1_ARR + 1)* 100 = 33.33%

The PWM waveform can be displayed using an oscilloscope.

Hardware and Software environment

• This example runs on STM32F0xx devices.

• This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM320518-EVAL and STM32072B-EVAL including respectively STM32F051R8T6 and STM32F072VBT6 devices and can be easily tailored to any other supported device and development board

• STM320518-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect the following pins to an oscilloscope to monitor the different waveforms:
    • TIM1 CH1 (PA.08)

• STM32072B-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect the following pins to an oscilloscope to monitor the different waveforms:
    • TIM1 CH1 (PA.08)
