32-bit Timer issue

Sorry guys,

I know it's a really simple question but I just don't get it...

I'm using STM32F427, we all know its TIM2 is a 32-bit timer. This is the code I'm using to setup TIM2 as a periodic timer.

==================================================================

    TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_TimeBaseStructure;     uint16_t PrescalerValue;     NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure;

    RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_TIM2, ENABLE);

    NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM2_IRQn;

    NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;     NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 1;     NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;     NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

    TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = TIM_CKD_DIV1; // 84000000 * 1 = 84000000 = 84M

    TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = 42000 - 1; // 0.5ms per count     TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = (30 * 2000)-1;// 30 sec     TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;     TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM2, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);

    TIM_ClearFlag(TIM2, TIM_FLAG_Update);

    TIM_ITConfig(TIM2, TIM_IT_Update, ENABLE);     TIM_Cmd(TIM2, ENABLE); ==================================================================

My system clock is configured to 168MHz and I can get this code to generate a 30-second interrupt. (TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = 59999)

But if I set a value larger than 65535(16-bit) to the Period (CNT) value, the IRQ doesn't fired anymore. Anyone knows what happend about this problem? Thanks.

BR,

Doesn't look unreasonable, ClockDivision doesn't function how you assume it does, and there are other fields in the initialization structure that could be cleared, in case that's causing an issue.

The prescaler is limited to 16-bit, the period field should be uint32_t What tool chain and firmware library are you using? How are you testing this?

Hi Clive,

I'm using IAR 6.70 with Std_Peripheral_Driver 1.30. I just download code and toggle a breakpoint in my IRQ handler. It works when I set the period value under 65535 but failed when larger. Thnaks.
