PWM basics on the STM32 general purpose timers

The STM32 Family processors include general purpose timers that have a nice PWM function that can handle four channels of independently controlled duty cycles. In this article I will look at how to set these up for basic use suitable for the majority of applications that need PWM signals. (more…)

clock pulses with variable phase on STM32

The CCRx registers can be set to directly produce regular clock pulses on one or more of the output pins. Square waves are especially simple and up to four channels can have variable phase relationships. (more…)

TIM3 Output Compare on the STM32 Family

TIM3 is a general purpose timer found on all the STM32 family processors. Among other features, it has four capture compare channels that can be used to generate regular interrupts. In this article I will show you how to set up simple interrupt events based on these features. (more…)

TIM3 ARR Gives Regular Interrupts on the STM32F4

The simplest way to produce regular interrupts from a timer like TIM3 on the STM32 family of processors is to set up the Auto Reload Register (ARR) to generate an update event. This article shows you how to correctly set up the clock source, prescaler and ARR to get regular events over a wide range of frequencies. (more…)
