Using The Break Function - ST STM32F412 Reference Manual

Advanced-control timers (TIM1&TIM8)
have both outputs at inactive level or both outputs active and complementary with dead-
time.
Note: When only OCxN is enabled (CCxE=0, CCxNE=1), it is not complemented and becomes
active as soon as OCxREF is high. For example, if CCxNP=0 then OCxN=OCxRef. On the
other hand, when both OCx and OCxN are enabled (CCxE=CCxNE=1) OCx becomes
active when OCxREF is high whereas OCxN is complemented and becomes active when
OCxREF is low.

Using the break function

When using the break function, the output enable signals and inactive levels are modified
according to additional control bits (MOE, OSSI and OSSR bits in the TIMx_BDTR register,
OISx and OISxN bits in the TIMx_CR2 register). In any case, the OCx and OCxN outputs
cannot be set both to active level at a given time. Refer to
The break source can be either the break input pin or a clock failure event, generated by the
Clock Security System (CSS), from the Reset Clock Controller. For further information on
the Clock Security System, refer to
When exiting from reset, the break circuit is disabled and the MOE bit is low. The break
function can be enabled by setting the BKE bit in the TIMx_BDTR register. The break input
polarity can be selected by configuring the BKP bit in the same register. BKE and BKP can
be modified at the same time. When the BKE and BKP bits are written, a delay of 1 APB
clock cycle is applied before the writing is effective. Consequently, it is necessary to wait 1
APB clock period to correctly read back the bit after the write operation.
Because MOE falling edge can be asynchronous, a resynchronization circuit has been
inserted between the actual signal (acting on the outputs) and the synchronous control bit
(accessed in the TIMx_BDTR register). It results in some delays between the asynchronous
and the synchronous signals. In particular, when writing MOE to 1 whereas it was low, user
must insert a delay (dummy instruction) before reading it correctly. This is because user
writes the asynchronous signal and reads the synchronous signal.
When a break occurs (selected level on the break input):
•
The MOE bit is cleared asynchronously, putting the outputs in inactive state, idle state
or in reset state (selected by the OSSI bit). This feature functions even if the MCU
oscillator is off.
•
Each output channel is driven with the level programmed in the OISx bit in the
TIMx_CR2 register as soon as MOE=0. If OSSI=0 then the timer releases the enable
output else the enable output remains high.
•
When complementary outputs are used:

442/1163
The outputs are first put in reset state inactive state (depending on the polarity).
This is done asynchronously so that it works even if no clock is provided to the
timer.
If the timer clock is still present, then the dead-time generator is reactivated in
order to drive the outputs with the level programmed in the OISx and OISxN bits
after a dead-time. Even in this case, OCx and OCxN cannot be driven to their
