STM32F051R8 TMER3 ISSUE

Hi..

In STM32F051R8 board, Iam using TIM3. I need to set timer interrupt for every every 10 seconds. Iam unable calculate the prescaler, CCR and time period values.

Can any one explain me please...

You just need the Prescaler and Period to get an Update interrupt.

You need to take your source clock frequency, multiply by 10, and then factor into two 16-bit integer numbers (1-65536), and program those as N-1 values for Prescaler/Period

TIMCLK * 10 = P * Q;

Prescaler = Q-1;

Period = P-1;

This is pretty pedestrian math.

Hi jaikrishna.n,

You can configure the TIM peripheral to generate a time base of 10 seconds with the corresponding Interrupt request.

The TIM3 input clock (TIM3CLK)  is set to APB1 clock (PCLK1), since APB1 prescaler is equal to 1.

• TIM3CLK = PCLK1
• PCLK1 = HCLK
• => TIM3CLK = HCLK = SystemCoreClock (Hz)

To get TIM3 counter clock at 10 KHz, the Prescaler is computed as following:

• Prescaler = (TIM3CLK / TIM3 counter clock) - 1
• Prescaler = (SystemCoreClock /10 KHz) - 1

SystemCoreClock is set to 48 MHz for STM32F0xx Devices.

• TIM3 ARR register value = 10000 - 1, 
• Update rate = TIM3 counter clock / (Period + 1) = 0,1 Hz,

So the TIM3 generates an interrupt each 10s.

Regards,

Heisenberg.

SystemCoreClock is set to 48 MHz for STM32F0xx Devices.

 

• TIM3 ARR register value = 100000 - 1,
• Update rate = TIM3 counter clock / (Period + 1) = 0,1 Hz,

So the TIM3 generates an interrupt each 10s.

Unless I'm mistaken TIM3 is a 16-bit counter, in which case this won't work (100000 does not fit), TIM2 on the other hand might as it's a 32-bit counter.

For a 48 MHz source, workable on a (cheaper) 16-bit timer

Prescaler = 48000-1;

Period = 10000-1;

10 Second period, 0.1 Hz

Prescale to 1 KHz as 10 KHz / 10000 = 1 Hz, not 0.1 Hz

Thanks for your immediate reply, I would like to ask some more doubts.

Is it possible to set interrupt for every 10 micro seconds? How  to set the value.. If you have any example code or document related to calculation please send to me. [e-mail]

THANK YOU

Ok, but you understand the relationship between frequency and period, right?

1 MHz = 1 us

48,000,000 ticks of a 48 MHz clock is 1 second

48 ticks of a 48 MHz clock is 1 micro second

480 ticks of a 48 MHz clock is 10 micro seconds

So factoring 480

480 = 1 * 480

Prescaler = 1 - 1;

Period = 480 - 1;

I think interrupting at 10 us (100 KHz) is probably excessive for this processor, think about what purpose this serves, and if what you're attempting to do can be kept in the hardware/peripheral domain.

Right, as clive1 says a 10 usec interrupt is pretty darn frequent for this processor. You'd better get in and out fast if the processor is going to have time to do anything else. Personally I've found it useful to create a timed interrupt of 1 msec (or so) for most every embedded project I've done over the last 30 years. If you need to do something every 10 seconds (and assuming it doesn't have to be real precise) than you can have the 1 ms interrupt increment a counter and the main loop watch for it to count to 10,000. Just a thought.

Ok Thankyou for your replies..  I will work with receiver timeout in USART1. In RTOR register we need to enter number of baud clocks. My controller clock value is 48MHZ. Can any one explain me how to calculate baud clock value?

Hello,

Iam using USART1 Receiver timeout feature in STM32F051R8. The cod is like below. I did try with differnt values in RTOR register. But interrupt handler was not calling. Please let me know wether there is any mistake in code?

  USART_SetReceiverTimeOut(USART1,0x386);

  USART_ReceiverTimeOutCmd(USART1,ENABLE);

  USART_ITConfig(USART1, USART_IT_RTO, ENABLE);

  USART_ITConfig(USART1,USART_IT_RXNE,ENABLE);

/*Interrupt Handler*/

void T1_USART_IRQHandler(void)

{

if (USART_GetITStatus(SC_USART, USART_IT_RTO) == SET)

{

USART_ClearITPendingBit(SC_USART, USART_IT_RTO);

USART_ITConfig(SC_USART, USART_IT_RTO, DISABLE);

}

Thanks in Advance!

void T1_USART_IRQHandler(void) // ?? Is that in the vector table?
