repetition counter, trigger output features continue to work as normal. Encoder mode and
External clock mode 2 are not compatible and must not be selected together.
In this mode, the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of
the incremental encoder and its content, therefore, always represents the encoder's
position. The count direction correspond to the rotation direction of the connected sensor.
The table summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 don't switch at the
same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external
interface logic. However, comparators are normally be used to convert the encoder's
differential outputs to digital signals. This greatly increases noise immunity. The third
encoder output which indicate the mechanical zero position, may be connected to an
external interrupt input and trigger a counter reset.

direction control. It also shows how input jitter is compensated where both edges are
selected. This might occur if the sensor is positioned near to one of the switching points. For
this example we assume that the configuration is the following:
●
CC1S='01' (TIMx_CCMR1 register, TI1FP1 mapped on TI1).
●
CC2S='01' (TIMx_CCMR2 register, TI1FP2 mapped on TI2).
●
CC1P='0' (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP1 non-inverted, TI1FP1=TI1).
●
CC2P='0' (TIMx_CCER register, TI1FP2 non-inverted, TI1FP2= TI2).
●
SMS='011' (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling
edges).
● CEN='1' (TIMx_CR1 register, Counter enabled).
