Generating 1Mhz PWM with STM32F407(Discovery Board)

[bharadwajtke]

I have been trying to generate a PWM of 1Mhz & 2Mhaz in different pins, with a system clock of 168Mhz, but unable to do so, can any body help me out with the code.

Please help me with a small code snippet for the same...Thanks in advance 🙂 #discovery #stm32f407

You'd need two counters for two frequencies in that range.

Hi Clive, I got 1Mhz, but it fluctuating between 990Khz-1Mhz,DSO which I am using is calibrated and works perfectly fine, I am generating 1Mhz with the Atmel XMEGA controller, which gives consistant 1Mhz, but STM failed.

Below is the modification i did WRT to the suggested code by you, rest all same. //Period = (SystemCoreClock / (1000000));  Period = 54;Kindly let me know, why the behavior is not consistent, I am testing it in room temperature which is about 28 degree Celsius, hope this should not affect the crystal right?

Check your system clock. You may be running on 16MHz HSI instead of on PLL set to 168MHz. You might want to read and check the relevant RCC registers content.

I am getting 96.2kHz insted 1Mhz, I am trying to tune to 1Mhz, till now no success. I am not getting the calculation part, so as to calculate and set the register to 1Mhz.

I don't know what development tools you are using, perhaps you need to call SystemInit()? Tools like CooCox seem to ignore the CMSIS method of calling SystemInit() prior to main(), in which case you must call SystemInit() from main() to get the clocks set up as defined in system_stm32f4xx.c.If the part is running from HSI (16 MHz), which is does at reset, then you can replace the SystemCoreClock value with 16000000, and compute the Period counter that way. Remember that the TIM acts as a divider of the input clock source, and that Period and Prescaler values are in the form N-1

).I serached but did not get apart from ''STM32F4xx_Clock_Configuration_V1.0.1.xls'' tool.

Your board has an 8 MHz source, not 25 MHz, so you'd need to adjust the PLL and HSE_VALUE settings to reflect that.

The PWM output should be solid.

Hi Clive1,

Thank you very much, I wll make the changes and check it.Your gem for this forum... 🙂 thanks again

After making below changes, given code of you worked fine...thanks Sir

Below are the changes I made, then got 1Mhz consistantly
