Question

Setup PWM on TIM12 for trailing edge or leading edge

Dear all,

I have a custom pcb with a STM32H753 on it.
There I'm already using the TIM12 function for generating a PWM output signal

 

This is my init function - generated from CubeMX:

 

void MX_TIM12_Init(void)
{

 /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM12_Init 0 */

 /* USER CODE END TIM12_Init 0 */

 TIM_ClockConfigTypeDef sClockSourceConfig = {0};
 TIM_MasterConfigTypeDef sMasterConfig = {0};
 TIM_OC_InitTypeDef sConfigOC = {0};

 /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM12_Init 1 */

 /* USER CODE END TIM12_Init 1 */
 htim12.Instance = TIM12;
 htim12.Init.Prescaler = 225;
 htim12.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;
 htim12.Init.Period = 1000;
 htim12.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;
 htim12.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;
 if (HAL_TIM_Base_Init(&htim12) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 sClockSourceConfig.ClockSource = TIM_CLOCKSOURCE_INTERNAL;
 if (HAL_TIM_ConfigClockSource(&htim12, &sClockSourceConfig) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 if (HAL_TIM_PWM_Init(&htim12) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 sMasterConfig.MasterOutputTrigger = TIM_TRGO_RESET;
 sMasterConfig.MasterSlaveMode = TIM_MASTERSLAVEMODE_DISABLE;
 if (HAL_TIMEx_MasterConfigSynchronization(&htim12, &sMasterConfig) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 sConfigOC.OCMode = TIM_OCMODE_PWM1;
 sConfigOC.Pulse = 500;
 sConfigOC.OCPolarity = TIM_OCPOLARITY_LOW;
 sConfigOC.OCFastMode = TIM_OCFAST_DISABLE;
 if (HAL_TIM_PWM_ConfigChannel(&htim12, &sConfigOC, TIM_CHANNEL_1) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /* USER CODE BEGIN TIM12_Init 2 */

 /* USER CODE END TIM12_Init 2 */
 HAL_TIM_MspPostInit(&htim12);

}

 

So the normal operation of PWM with a trailing edge is working (see attached image for seeing the waveform).

Now I want to adjust parameters to get - based on same frequency and duty cycle - the leading edge pwm wave form.

What needs to be adjusted on the sConfigOC, or what else needs to be adjusted / manipulated if I switch from trailing edge to leading edge?

    sConfigOC.OCMode = TIM_OCMODE_PWM2;

    Anything else to be considered?

    E.g. _PWM[ch].TimHandler->Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_DOWN;

    I think you need to change the pulse value and the polarity.

     sConfigOC.Pulse = 500;
     sConfigOC.OCPolarity = TIM_OCPOLARITY_LOW;

    Your current waveform is 50% duty cycle, so changing the pulse doesn't do much.
