Figure 9.33. Gating Timer 2 with Enable of Timer 1

9.3.14.3. Using One Timer to Start the Other Timer

In this example (see Figure 9.34), the enable of Timer 2 is set with the UEV of Timer 1. Timer 2 starts counting from

its current value (which can be non-zero) on the divided internal clock as soon as Timer 1 generates the UEV.

When Timer 2 receives the trigger signal its TIM_CEN bit is automatically set and the counter counts until 0 is

written to the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register. Both counter clock frequencies are divided by 3 by the

prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT/3).



Configure Timer 1 in master mode to send its UEV as trigger output: WriteTIM_MMS = 010 in the

TIM1_CR2 register.



Configure the Timer 1 period (TIM1_ARR register).



Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1: Write TIM_TS = 000 in the TIM2_SMCR register.



Configure Timer 2 in trigger mode. Write TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM2_SMCR register.



Start Timer 1: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in theTIM1_CR1 register.

Figure 9.34. Triggering Timer 2 with Update of Timer 1

As in the previous example, both counters can be initialized before starting counting. Figure 9.35 shows the

behavior with the same configuration shown in Figure 9.34, but in trigger mode instead of gated mode

(TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM2_SMCR register).
