14 Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8)
Low-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
Medium-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes.
High-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where the
Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
XL-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where the
Flash memory density ranges between 768 Kbytes and 1 Mbyte.
Connectivity line devices are STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx microcontrollers.
Low- and medium-density STM32F103xx devices, and the STM32F105xx/STM32F107xx
connectivity line devices, contain one advanced-control timer (TIM1) whereas high-density
and XL-density STM32F103xx devices feature two advance-control timers (TIM1 and
TIM8).
14.1 TIM1&TIM8 introduction
The advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8) consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by
a programmable prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM,
complementary PWM with dead-time insertion).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several
milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
The advanced-control (TIM1&TIM8) and general-purpose (TIMx) timers are completely
independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as
described in Section 14.3.20.
