Example Description

This example shows how to synchronize TIM peripherals in cascade mode, two timers TIM2 and TIM3 are used.

Timers synchronisation in cascade mode:

• TIM2 is configured as Master Timer:
  • PWM Mode is used
  • The TIM2 Update event is used as Trigger Output

• TIM3 is slave for TIM2
  • PWM Mode is used
  • The ITR1(TIM2) is used as input trigger
  • Gated mode is used, so start and stop of slave counter are controlled by the Master trigger output signal(TIM2 update event).

The TIM2 counter clock is 48 MHz.

The TIM2 is running at: TIM2 frequency = (TIM2 counter clock)/ (TIM2 period + 1) = 187.5 KHz and the duty cycle = TIM2_CCR1/(TIM2_ARR + 1) = 25%.

The slave Timer TIM3 is running at TIM2 clock: (TIM2 frequency)/ (TIM3 period + 1) = 46.87 KHz and a duty cycle equal to TIM3_CCR1/(TIM3_ARR + 1) = 25%

Note:

The "system_stm32f0xx.c" is generated by an automatic clock configuration tool and can be easily customized to meet user application requirements. To select different clock setup, use the "STM32F0xx_Clock_Configuration_VX.Y.Z.xls" provided with the AN4055 package available on ST Microcontrollers

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:
    • TIM2 CH1 (PA.05)
    • TIM3 CH1 (PB.04)
• STM32072B-EVAL Set-up
  • Connect the following pins to an oscilloscope to monitor the different waveforms:
    • TIM2 CH1 (PA.05)
    • TIM3 CH1 (PB.04)
