Phase-shift PWM with STM32F407

How can I create a phase-shifted pwm signal ? The frequency is fixed. The board is STM32F407 discovery board so I am not 100% sure if this is possible.

If it is, how can I achieve this?

you can generate phase-shifted PWM signals with 2 different ways :

1) You can use the feature : Output toggle which can generate up to 4 phase-shifted PWM signals with controlled shift but all signals have the same duty-cycle which is 50%.

2) You can as a second alternative generate 2 phase-shifted PWM signals with controlled shift and duty-cycle : of course, signals have the same frequency which is the mainTimer frequency.

For the mcrocontroller STM32F4xx only output toggle is possible !!! The cofiguration is analog to the following one . there is only two differences :

1) the configuration of the CCMRx registers

2) the configuration of the CCRxregisters

Please refer to the reference manual for futrher information!!

NB : In both modes (asymmetric or output toggle) frequency is computed with the same following way :

/*Timer_frequency = APB1_frequency/((1 + prescaler value)(1 + Timer period)*2

Here you can find a configuration of the asymmetric PWM mode in the STM32F7 microcontroller :

For further information you can look at the reference manual the application note and the datasheet. You can make the same configuration in your STM32F334 but you should look before at the datasheet to configure pins correctly.
