External clock source mode 2
This mode is selected by writing ECE=1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
The counter can count at each rising or falling edge on the external trigger input ETR.
Figure 181
For example, to configure the upcounter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the
following procedure:
1.
As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0]=0000 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
2.
Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0]=01 in the TIMx_SMCR register
3.
Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP=0 in the TIMx_SMCR
register
4.
Enable external clock mode 2 by writing ECE=1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
5.
Enable the counter by writing CEN=1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The counter counts once each 2 ETR rising edges.
