Hi,
I'm trying to see what the maximal frequency I can achieve using the STM32F407-discovery board.
So far I have found the following:
If i put the period at 1000, I get the following result:
However if I put the period at 10, I'd expect a squarewave of 16Mhz, however this isn't the case: (and the squarewave seems to get irregular)
Is there any way to generate a 25MHz square wave using this board?
My code: (I haven't enabled any interrupts or anything like that)

Solved! Go to Solution.

I suspect your logic analyzer sample rate can't keep up.
PWM frequency is (timer frequency) / (PSC + 1) / (ARR + 1).
At a 168 MHz timer rate, you can output a square wave at 84 MHz. Max GPIO frequencies are listed in the datasheet and are more than 84 MHz under the right conditions.
To output one at 25 MHz, you need to have your clock rate an integer multiple of this, For example you could set your clock to 150 MHz and set period = 5.

If you need a frequency output, check if there is a PLL like I2S clock and send it to MCO output. Duty cycle won't be tuneable, frequency will be.

But expect Duty cycle off 50% for even ARR values!

That was it, thank you!
Really didn't even think about checking the sampling rate of the logic analyzer. :grinning_face_with_sweat:
