Hello,

I have a numerical signal(composed of pulse of 1 and 0 logical) which arrives on the entry of the input capture of the microcontrolor st7lite It is necessary that I count the duration of the impulses which are in a high state (1) Extracts of datasheet are attached. I want to know how to measure one impulsion time with register LTICR(Life Time Input Capture Register) it is said in datasheet that we use a counter (counter 1) which counts from 0 to 255 , ther is a ltic pin which enquiries if there is a detection of a high level on the numerical signal icf flag set (1) then register LTICSR1 is containing MSB of the counter 1.But I don't understand how msb counter 1 indicates us duration of the pulse. How i Can do to know duration of the pulse with datasheet?

Hi,

There is Application Note AN1324 available on ST web site which can help you. The method use to calibrate the RC is to measure a pulse with a known duration (50hz signal) using the input capture. This application is also available for the ST7Ultralite AN2326. Best regards Laurent
