STM32f30x: How to connect PB8 and PB9 to Timer16CH1 and Timer17CH1

[RBaum.1]

Hello all,

i have a Problem on a STM32F30x as described in the question.

I can´t achieve to connect TIM16CH1 and TIM17CH1 to GPIOB 8 and 9. The goal is to get a PWM signal on these pins based on a compare match.

Both Timers are running. If i read the corresponding TIM16->CNT rest. TIM17->CNT register i can see both are counting up and restarting after a overflow occurred. But i´m not getting a signal on the pin PB8 and PB9.

Here is my code:

/**
* System clock is initalized 
*/
 
RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM16, ENABLE);
RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM17, ENABLE);
RCC_AHBPeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHBPeriph_GPIOB, ENABLE);
 
GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOB, GPIO_PinSource8, GPIO_AF_1);
GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOB, GPIO_PinSource9, GPIO_AF_1);
 
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIOB_pwm_init;
GPIOB_pwm_init.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;
GPIOB_pwm_init.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;
GPIOB_pwm_init.GPIO_Pin = (GPIO_Pin_8 | GPIO_Pin_9);
GPIOB_pwm_init.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;
GPIOB_pwm_init.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_Level_3;
GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &GPIOB_pwm_init);
 
 TIM_DeInit(TIM16);
 TIM16->CR1 |= (0x01 << 7);
 TIM16->CCMR1 |= (0x04 << 4 ) | (0x01 << 3);
 TIM16->CCER |= (0x01);
 TIM16->PSC = 71; 
 TIM16->ARR = 4000;
 TIM16->CCR1 = 2000;
 TIM_Cmd(TIM16, ENABLE); 
 
 TIM_DeInit(TIM17);
 TIM17->CR1 |= (0x01 << 7);
 TIM17->CCMR1 |= (0x04 << 4 ) | (0x01 << 3);
 TIM17->CCER |= (0x01);
 TIM17->PSC = 71; 
 TIM17->ARR = 4000;
 TIM17->CCR1 = 2000;
 TIM_Cmd(TIM17, ENABLE);    

I have spend hours reading through the reference manual but no hints.

Help is welcome!

TIM16 and TIM17 have break functionality, where there is an additional Master Output Enable bit that must be set to get any output on the pins.

TIM16->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE;
TIM17->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE;

Also note that both PSC and ARR are programmed with N-1 for N states, ie 0 .. N-1

You perhaps want 0 .. 3999, with the center at 2000, ie 0..1999, 2000..3999

Thank you @berendi for the explanation and @clive1 for your hint.

I was able to solve the problem end the oscilloscope is showing a nice pwm signal now.

Thanks 8) :)
