40 Mhz PWM generation on TIM1 PA8

Hello!

I have already written the code to produce a 40Mhz clock at the output of TIM1_PWM1. I wanted to confirm is it possible to make a 40Mhz clock or not because according to the datasheet , APB2 can have a maximum frequency of 84 Mhz, but for some reason I can not get a 40 Mhz clock. Any help will be appreciated This is my code /* Compute the prescaler value */   PrescalerValue = (uint16_t) ((168000000) /  84000000 ) -1;   uint16_t PreCalPeriod = (84000000 / 40000000) -1;   /* Time base configuration */   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = PreCalPeriod ;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = PrescalerValue;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = 0;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;   TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM1, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);   /* PWM1 Mode configuration: Channel1 */   TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM1;   TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;   TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = (PreCalPeriod * 50) / 100;   TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_High;   TIM_OC1Init(TIM1, &TIM_OCInitStructure);   TIM_OC1PreloadConfig(TIM1, TIM_OCPreload_Enable);   TIM_ARRPreloadConfig(TIM1, ENABLE);   /* TIM1 enable counter */   TIM_Cmd(TIM1, ENABLE);   TIM_CtrlPWMOutputs(TIM1, ENABLE);   while (1)   {} } /**   * @brief  Configure the TIM3 Ouput Channels.   * @param  None   * @retval None   */ void TIM_Config(void) {   GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;   /* TIM1 clock enable */   RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM1, ENABLE);   /* GPIOA clock enable */   RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOA,ENABLE);   /* GPIOA Configuration: TIM1 CH1 (PA8) */   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_8 ;   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_100MHz;   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;   GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_UP ;   GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);   /* Connect TIM1 pins to AF2 */   GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOA, GPIO_PinSource8, GPIO_AF_TIM1); }

You need to appreciate that the STM32 only has INTEGER dividers.

The period/prescale work on N-1 numbers A 50/50 duty uses a N/2 value For high rates consider using TOGGLE, not PWM To get 40MHz consider a 160 MHz PLL clock ..   PrescalerValue = (uint16_t) ((168000000) /  84000000 );   uint16_t PreCalPeriod = (84000000 / 40000000); ..   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = PreCalPeriod - 1 ;   TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = PrescalerValue -1; ..   TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = (PreCalPeriod * 50) / 100;

Posted on August 28, 2012 at 14:46 Hi! Thanks for the reply. But I do not understand when you say TOGGLE. Is this some mode, or through the GPIO I have to do something ? I tried with what you told, but it does not give any output!

Hi!

Thanks a lot!! But, I already worked on my code, and it was working 🙂

i have 100Msps adc, and i don't want to use FPGA to supply encoder signal to ADC ( LVDS or just two square wave 180 angle difference)

can i use PWM to generate ENC signal fro ADC ? and if yes, what is the fastest way to read it ? I have detector made from 128 photo-diodes, and readout frequency is 8MHz (charge is pushed with serial interface to opamp) i need to be able to read adc and make that point DFT, so my program use as much cpu time as possible to get better overall time. i have two ideas, use MCO or PWM as ENC signal , chech ADC CLK output polarity, and when i have rising or falling edge read data, and then make DFT. or drive ENC with 80MHz so i don't need to check ADC clk for data, and read then i push charge since adc has 7 conversion latency, so i have to be able to make >7 conversions in one 8MHz period i tested STM32F4, it can do single point DFT in less than 14ns (250MHz core clk) or maybe some one have better idea? (maybe use interruption to read data, bus at the same time i have to generate signal for photo-diode) http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/TSL1401CL.pdf << Detector http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/2217f.pdf                       <<ADC

Well you could get 80 MHz out of MCO if you clock the F4 at 160 MHz (or 240 MHz div 3 if it works effectively at those speeds), you could get a timer to generate 8 MHz, of use HSE out of the secondary MCO if you use an 8 or 16 MHz external crystal.

You'd probably need to use DMA via the FSMC to get data from an external ADC. Generating 56 MHz, and getting the bus to work effectively that's another matter. Why is an FPGA unappealing?

well, i have altera usb blaster so i can use only cyclones.

But they are expensive (i even can't get in my country, i have to order them from uk) and i need low pin count and cyclone with pll, also configuration flash is same cost as stm32f4 itself, and fpga program is too big for stm32F4 flash so i can't config fpga from stm32f4. you know, new device will bring lot of problems and high cost to design. and i still have problems with lvds output on fpga and so on
