http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~geobrown/book.pdf An example of a basic timer is illustrated in Figure 10.1. This timer has four components – a controller, a prescaler (PSC), an “auto-reload” register (ARR) and a counter (CNT). The function of the prescal…
Timers get their clock source from External pins or Internal timer sources. External External = pins: TI1 or TI2 or ETR set pin to be used: in TIMx_CCMR1 reg - set pin to be used by writing CCxS bits select polarity of input in TIMx_CCER reg - write…
Auto-reload register (TIMx_ARR) The auto-reload register is preloaded. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register accesses the preload register. The content of the preload register are transferred into the shadow register permanently or at e…
How can you add extra hardware UARTs to a 32bit TMS470 ARM7-based microcontroller at zero cost? Solution: Designers can use the high-end timer (HET) peripheral found on all Texas Instruments ARM7-based, 32-bit TMS470 microcontrollers to implement add…
