TIM1 Chan1 PWM, no output, GPIO works fine

Davorin

Good afternoon

Configured TIM1 of a F070CBT6 to drive 3 PWM channels on PA8/PA) and PA10....

PA9 and PA10 work fine..only for channel 1 I don't see any output..furthermore it seems to be floating as when touching with a finger the attached 7406 driver turns the LED on...

OTOH when using PA8 as a general GPIO output, it works just fine to turn LED on/off...

Timer1 channel 1 output broken?

Check HAL_TIM_MspPostInit() to ensure pins are initialized as AF correctly.

Failing that, look at GPIO registers to see how PA8 is configured.

Hmm..okay....

Just discovered that TIM1 channel 2 and channel 3 also behave differently when freshly programmed via J-Link or after a power-up...

After programming it seems that the counter value set is inverted...(short dark LED phase) where as after reset I see short LED on pulses as it should be...

Didn't had this on the Nucleo-F070 board...

Set PA8 as GPIO Out and wiggle - works? (aiming at bad solder joint).

Read our and check/post the relevant GPIO and TIM registers content.

Yes...pin toggling works as mentioned before...

Also in pwm mode when I set a pull-down...the output isn't floating anymore...so LED doesn't light up when touching the PA8 pin...

Gotta check tomorrow more..already late here in \.ch (o;

In PWM output mode, the pin is either set to low or high. A pulldown shouldn't be affecting it.

Edit: unless maybe it's floating during the break dead time? Not sure, but I doubt it.
