Hello everyone, I'm new to STM32 microcontrollers. I'm currently working on my first project using this microcontroller, it is for a motor control application. I am trying to set up the PWMs, I'd like to run them at a frequency of 15kHz and they must be center aligned. I am able to get edge aligned signals at this frequency, but when trying to set to center aligned the frequency drops to 58kHz. What am I doing wrong here?

'Center aligned' implies that the timer counts up to ARR then back down to zero, that's why the period of this cycle is twice of the plain up or down modes (frequency half of them).

Hello!
It is half frequency because in center aligned mode the counter counts up and down .(normal behaviour)
Figure is from 32F4 RM.
