Low-power timer (LPTIM)
26 Low-power timer (LPTIM)
26.1 Introduction
The LPTIM is a 16-bit timer that benefits from the ultimate developments in power
consumption reduction. Thanks to its diversity of clock sources, the LPTIM is able to keep
running in all power modes except for Standby mode. Given its capability to run even with
no internal clock source, the LPTIM can be used as a "Pulse Counter" which can be useful
in some applications. Also, the LPTIM capability to wake up the system from low-power
modes, makes it suitable to realize "Timeout functions" with extremely low power
consumption.
The LPTIM introduces a flexible clock scheme that provides the needed functionalities and
performance, while minimizing the power consumption.
