Advanced-control timers (TIM1, TIM8)
The advanced-control timers (TIM1, TIM8) can be seen as three-phase PWM generators
multiplexed on 6 channels. They have complementary PWM outputs with programmable
inserted dead times. They can also be considered as complete general-purpose timers.
Their 4 independent channels can be used for:
• Input capture
• Output compare
• PWM generation (edge- or center-aligned modes)
• One-pulse mode output
If configured as standard 16-bit timers, they have the same features as the general-purpose
TIMx timers. If configured as 16-bit PWM generators, they have full modulation capability (0-
100%).
The advanced-control timer can work together with the TIMx timers via the Timer Link
feature for synchronization or event chaining.
TIM1 and TIM8 support independent DMA request generation.
General-purpose timers (TIMx)
There are ten synchronizable general-purpose timers embedded in the STM32F77xxx
devices (see Table 6 for differences).
• TIM2, TIM3, TIM4, TIM5
The STM32F77xxx include 4 full-featured general-purpose timers: TIM2, TIM5, TIM3,
and TIM4.The TIM2 and TIM5 timers are based on a 32-bit auto-reload
up/downcounter and a 16-bit prescaler. The TIM3 and TIM4 timers are based on a 16-
bit auto-reload up/downcounter and a 16-bit prescaler. They all feature 4 independent
channels for input capture/output compare, PWM or one-pulse mode output. This gives
up to 16 input capture/output compare/PWMs on the largest packages.
The TIM2, TIM3, TIM4, TIM5 general-purpose timers can work together, or with the
other general-purpose timers and the advanced-control timers TIM1 and TIM8 via the
Timer Link feature for synchronization or event chaining.
Any of these general-purpose timers can be used to generate PWM outputs.
TIM2, TIM3, TIM4, TIM5 all have independent DMA request generation. They are
capable of handling quadrature (incremental) encoder signals and the digital outputs
from 1 to 4 hall-effect sensors.
• TIM9, TIM10, TIM11, TIM12, TIM13, and TIM14
These timers are based on a 16-bit auto-reload upcounter and a 16-bit prescaler.
TIM10, TIM11, TIM13, and TIM14 feature one independent channel, whereas TIM9
and TIM12 have two independent channels for input capture/output compare, PWM or
one-pulse mode output. They can be synchronized with the TIM2, TIM3, TIM4, TIM5
full-featured general-purpose timers. They can also be used as simple time bases.
Basic timers TIM6 and TIM7
These timers are mainly used for DAC trigger and waveform generation. They can also be
used as a generic 16-bit time base.
TIM6 and TIM7 support independent DMA request generation.
