How to quit a gap between 2 synchronized PWM?

[Dani Prieto]

Hello everyone!

I have 2 fixed PWM of 40kHz (TIM1_CH1, TIM1_CH1N) and one modulation at 80 kHz fitted into the others, matching the steps by zero.

Instead of this, I have this signals:

There is a gap between them of 1us.

This is the timers declaration:

 void TIM1_3config(void){
	 
	TIM_OCInitTypeDef  TIM_OCInitStructure;
	TIM_BDTRInitTypeDef TIM_BDTRInitStructure;
	NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure; 
	   // Enable the TIM1 Interrupt 
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM1_UP_IRQn;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 1; //menos prioritat que TIM1(PWM)
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;
  NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure); 
	 
	NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM3_IRQn;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 2; //menos prioritat que TIM1(PWM)
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;
  NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure); 
	 
	NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM2_IRQn;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 3; //menos prioritat que TIM1(PWM)
  NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;
  NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure); 	
	
	RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_TIM2, ENABLE); //RCC_APB1Periph_TIM2
	RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM1, ENABLE); 
	RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_TIM3, ENABLE); 
	 
 
   /* Timers synchronisation in parallel mode ----------------------------
 
 
	1/TIM2 is configured as Master Timer:
     - PWM Mode is used
     - The TIM2 Update event is used as Trigger Output  
     2/TIM1 and TIM3 are slaves for TIM2,
     - PWM Mode is used
     - The ITR1(TIM2) is used as input trigger for both slaves
     - Gated mode is used, so starts and stops of slaves counters
      are controlled by the Master trigger output signal(update event).

Any sugestion?

Thanks in advance.

What do we see on that oscilloscope screenshot?

> TIM_SelectSlaveMode(TIM3, TIM_SlaveMode_Trigger);

> [...]

> TIM_Cmd(TIM3, ENABLE);

No! The point of trigger slave mode is, that the master will enable the slave through the trigger, so you must not enable it manually.

That's it!

I have commented TIM_CMD of timer3 and it's working OK now :)

The red signal was 40KD(40kHz signal) and the yellow one was PWM of 80kHz.

Thank you for your answer!
