18.3.10 One-pulse mode
One-pulse mode (OPM) is a particular case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to
be started in response to a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length
after a programmable delay.
Starting the counter can be controlled through the slave mode controller. Generating the
waveform can be done in output compare mode or PWM mode. You select One-pulse mode
by setting the OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This makes the counter stop automatically
at the next update event UEV.
A pulse can be correctly generated only if the compare value is different from the counter
initial value. Before starting (when the timer is waiting for the trigger), the configuration must
be:
•
In upcounting: CNT<CCRx≤ ARR (in particular, 0<CCRx),
•
In downcounting: CNT>CCRx.
For example you may want to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of t
after a delay of t
Let's use TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
•
Map TI2FP2 on TI2 by writing CC2S=01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
•
TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge, write CC2P=0 and CC2NP='0' in the TIMx_CCER
register.
•
Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI) by writing TS=110 in
the TIMx_SMCR register.
• TI2FP2 is used to start the counter by writing SMS to '110 in the TIMx_SMCR register
(trigger mode).
