PWM generation at very low Duty-cycle

[Rohit007]

Hello , 

I am using the STM32G0C1RET6 MCU and want to generate the frequency in between 20Khz to 200Khz, with dutycyle in between 1 to 100%, but frequency below 10 percent is not generating, as my CCR value gets 0, due to low ARR value. Am I going in right direction or not I am not getting it, and if have understood the correct use of CCR and ARR registers.

here is a snippet of my code I am using,

for setting the frequency I am using this logic

case TIMER1:

if (freq_input > 100000)

TIM1->PSC = 32-1;

else

TIM1->PSC = 64-1;

new_arr = (HAL_RCC_GetHCLKFreq() / (freq_input * TIM1->PSC)) - 1;

TIM1->ARR=new_arr;

for setting Dutycycle i am using,

uint32_t CCR = ((duty_input) * new_arr) /100 ;

switch(timer) {

case TIMER1:

if (channel == 1)

TIM1->CCR1=CCR;

here, HAL_RCC_GetHCLKFreq = 64MHz.

here using the less or higher prescalar affects the frequency, so i chose accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Use PSC=0.

Your choiced PSC result to max ARR and max ARR result to duty resolution.

Better is start with PSC 1 (-1) as JW and calc ARR, if ARR is over for 16 bit timer 65535 then increase PSC ...

@MM..1 I have tried using these different PSC I got better Frequency output and dutycycle PSC = 32 and PSC = 64, but I didn't got PWM for less than 10%. Any other solution.

64000000 / 200000 = 320 

Then for 200kHz divider for 64M must be 1 and PSC=0 . What you dont understand?

ARR = 319

And CCR 0 .. 319 duty step around 0,3%

 

64000000 / 20000 = 3200   ARR 3199   PSC 0  ...
