General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)

13 General-purpose timers (TIM2 to TIM5)
Low-density value line devices are STM32F100xx microcontrollers where the flash
memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
Medium-density value line devices are STM32F100xx microcontrollers where the flash
memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes.
High-density value line devices are STM32F100xx microcontrollers where the flash
memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
This section applies to the whole STM32F100xx family, unless otherwise specified.

TIM2 to TIM5 introduction

The general-purpose timers consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler.
They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input
signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare and PWM).
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 timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be
synchronized together as described in

Section 13.3.15.
