Timer Interface Module (TIM2)
NOTE
In buffered PWM signal generation, do not write pulse width values to the
currently active channel registers. User software should track the currently
active channel to prevent writing a new value to the active channel. Writing
to the active channel registers is the same as generating unbuffered PWM
signals.
18.3.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered PWM signals, use the following
initialization procedure:
1. In the TIM2 status and control register (T2SC):
a. Stop the TIM2 counter by setting the TIM2 stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the TIM2 counter and prescaler by setting the TIM2 reset bit, TRST.
2. In the TIM2 counter modulo registers (T2MODH:T2MODL), write the value for the required PWM
period.
3. In the TIM2 channel x registers (T2CHxH:T2CHxL), write the value for the required pulse width.
4. In TIM2 channel x status and control register (T2SCx):
a. Write 0:1 (for unbuffered output compare or PWM signals) or 1:0 (for buffered output compare
or PWM signals) to the mode select bits, MSxB:MSxA. (See Table 18-2.)
b. Write 1 to the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx.
c. Write 1:0 (polarity 1 — to clear output on compare) or 1:1 (polarity 0 — to set output on
compare) to the edge/level select bits, ELSxB:ELSxA. The output action on compare must
force the output to the complement of the pulse width level. (See Table 18-2.)
NOTE
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle on
output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0% duty
cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-correct in the
event of software error or noise. Toggling on output compare can also
cause incorrect PWM signal generation when changing the PWM pulse
width to a new, much larger value.
5. In the TIM2 status control register (T2SC), clear the TIM2 stop bit, TSTOP.
Setting MS0B links channels 0 and 1 and configures them for buffered PWM operation. The TIM2
channel 0 registers (T2CH0H:T2CH0L) initially control the buffered PWM output. TIM2 status control
register 0 (T2SC0) controls and monitors the PWM signal from the linked channels. MS0B takes priority
over MS0A.
Setting MS2B links channels 2 and 3 and configures them for buffered PWM operation. The TIM2
channel 2 registers (T2CH2H:T2CH2L) initially control the buffered PWM output. TIM2 status control
register 2 (T2SC2) controls and monitors the PWM signal from the linked channels. MS2B takes priority
over MS2A.
Setting MS4B links channels 4 and 5 and configures them for buffered PWM operation. The TIM2
channel 4 registers (T2CH4H:T2CH4L) initially control the buffered PWM output. TIM2 status control
register 4 (T2SC4) controls and monitors the PWM signal from the linked channels. MS4B takes priority
over MS4A.
Clearing the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx, inhibits output toggles on TIM2 overflows. Subsequent output
compares try to force the output to a state it is already in and have no effect. The result is a 0% duty cycle
output.
