STM32F103RBT6 complimentary output polarity problem

Hi,

I am trying to get complimentary output working with the same polarity on both the OCx and OCxN.  I have successfully done this with TIM_OCPolarity_High, and TIM_OCNPolarity_Low.  The next step is to be able to disable and re-enable either the OCx or OCxN outputs.  I am able to set up everything as I want, with the desired polarity on the desired outputs.  However when I disable the OCx output using TIM_CCxCmd(TIM1, TIM_Channel_1, TIM_CCx_Disable);and then re-enable it usingTIM_CCxCmd(TIM1, TIM_Channel_1, TIM_CCx_Enable); the OCxN output polarity reverts back to TIM_OCNPolarity_High.  I am currently using an STM32F103RBT6 Nucleo board with ST Link debugger.I have checked the CCER register and the OCxN polarity bit is high (=1), but the output is reversed.If I disable and re-enable the OCxN output, it retains the correct polarity.Very confused, any help would be great, thanks in advanceRob

Hi minthemerciless, 

In this case, you should the commutation feature in Timer peripheral. To get more in details about it you can refer to the section 6-PWM generation in STM32F1xx reference manual.There is the new application note about TIMERS which is

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/group0/91/01/84/3f/7c/67/41/3f/DM00236305/files/DM00236305.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00236305.pdf

 . The commutation feature is described there and is used in the firmware example ''NpulseWave_TIM_Sync'' that you find in the relevant firmware package
