Waveform generation

Two 16-bit registers, the LPTIMx_ARR (autoreload register) and LPTIMx_CMP (Compare
register), are used to generate several different waveforms on LPTIM output
The timer can generate the following waveforms:
•
The PWM mode: the LPTIM output is set as soon as a match occurs between the
LPTIMx_CMP and the LPTIMx_CNT registers. The LPTIM output is reset as soon as a
match occurs between the LPTIMx_ARR and the LPTIMx_CNT registers
•
The One-pulse mode: the output waveform is similar to the one of the PWM mode for
the first pulse, then the output is permanently reset
•
The Set-once mode: the output waveform is similar to the One-pulse mode except that
the output is kept to the last signal level (depends on the output configured polarity).
The above described modes require that the LPTIMx_ARR register value be strictly greater
than the LPTIMx_CMP register value.
The LPTIM output waveform can be configured through the WAVE bit as follow:
•
Resetting the WAVE bit to '0' forces the LPTIM to generate either a PWM waveform or
a One pulse waveform depending on which bit is set: CNTSTRT or SNGSTRT.
•
Setting the WAVE bit to '1' forces the LPTIM to generate a Set-once mode waveform.
The WAVPOL bit controls the LPTIM output polarity. The change takes effect immediately,
so the output default value will change immediately after the polarity is re-configured, even
before the timer is enabled.
Signals with frequencies up to the LPTIM clock frequency divided by 2 can be generated.
