2 micro second period with pwm output in stm32f373RCT6

[GAGGA.1]

Hi!,

I am trying to generate pulse with PWM output with 2 micro second period and 50% duty cycle on STM32F373RCT6 on custom board. I have used Timer5.

APB1 frequency is 70MHz.

Prescalar value is 69 to generate counter clock frequency of 1MHz.

ARR value is 2 to give period value of 2 micro second.

Pulse width is 1 to generate 50% duty cycle.

But PWM Output frequency is coming 1.11khz (900 micro second).

Please help me in this matter. If any other information required please let me know.

Regards,

Gaurav

Try to run it on the default HSI clock, to exclude clock setup problems.

ARR=2 means the frequency will be 1/3MHz.

Set Prescaler = 0, Period = 140-1, Pulse 70

I tried with these values but still I couldn't get desired values. Please find attached PWM Output waveform snap.

I configured Timer5 (PC0) for PWM output as per configuration given below.

TIM_ClockConfigTypeDef sClockSourceConfig = {0};

 TIM_MasterConfigTypeDef sMasterConfig = {0};

 TIM_OC_InitTypeDef sConfigOC = {0};

 /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM5_Init 1 */

 /* USER CODE END TIM5_Init 1 */

 htim5.Instance = TIM5;

 htim5.Init.Prescaler = 0;//1;

 htim5.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;

 htim5.Init.Period = 140-1;//33;

 htim5.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;

 htim5.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;

htim5.Init.RepetitionCounter=0;

 if (HAL_TIM_Base_Init(&htim5) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 sClockSourceConfig.ClockSource = TIM_CLOCKSOURCE_INTERNAL;

 if (HAL_TIM_ConfigClockSource(&htim5, &sClockSourceConfig) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 if (HAL_TIM_PWM_Init(&htim5) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 sMasterConfig.MasterOutputTrigger = TIM_TRGO_RESET;

 sMasterConfig.MasterSlaveMode = TIM_MASTERSLAVEMODE_DISABLE;

 if (HAL_TIMEx_MasterConfigSynchronization(&htim5, &sMasterConfig) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 sConfigOC.OCMode = TIM_OCMODE_PWM1;

 sConfigOC.Pulse = 70;

 sConfigOC.OCPolarity = TIM_OCPOLARITY_HIGH;

 sConfigOC.OCFastMode = TIM_OCFAST_DISABLE;

sConfigOC.OCNPolarity = TIM_OCNPOLARITY_HIGH;

sConfigOC.OCIdleState = TIM_OCIDLESTATE_RESET;

 sConfigOC.OCNIdleState = TIM_OCNIDLESTATE_RESET;

 if (HAL_TIM_PWM_ConfigChannel(&htim5, &sConfigOC, TIM_CHANNEL_1) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 __HAL_TIM_DISABLE_OCxPRELOAD(&htim5, TIM_CHANNEL_1);

 /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM5_Init 2 */

 /* USER CODE END TIM5_Init 2 */

 HAL_TIM_MspPostInit(&htim5);

/*Generate PWM output on MCU_DO1 pin*/

HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim5,TIM_CHANNEL_1);

If any mistake I did please let me know

Client requirement is to use external oscillator.

That's OK. Just make it as an experiment so that you are confident with the timer settings.

Also make sure you are not fooled by aliasing on the oscilloscope. Switch to higher horizontal, resolution, 1us/div or so.

I tried with internal oscillator with APB1 frequency 24Mhz.

To generate 36Khz, I gave Prescalar value =0. ARR-665-1, period =332 but it is coming around 35.2Khz.

Next to achieve 500Khz, I gave Prescalar = 0, ARR = 24-1, period = 12 then it is coming around 50Khz and proper square wave is not coming as well as duty cycle is around 65%.

That's OK, the internal HSI oscillator is not precise.

Have you tried to switch the oscilloscope to higher resolution?

I tried with oscilloscope with higher resolution.

I tried with ARR=7000000-1 and Pulse = 3500000 then output period is 880ms. (Expected period is 100ms).

other values tried is ARR=14000000-1 and pulse = 7000000 then output period is 1.76sec. (Expected is 200ms).

As APB1 clock is 70MHz. I did all calculations according to this frequency.

200ms period is coming on ARR=7954.

Does this seems configuration problem?

I have no idea what is wrong.

[GAGGA.1]

Timer frequency is 8KHz instead of 70MHz that's why all calculations are wrong. Do u have any idea how it is working on 8Mhz instead of 70Mhz?
