Hardware Delay Using STM32F100xx Timers
6.1 OBJECTIVES
To create time delays using STM32F100xx timers.

6.2 EQUIPMENT & MATERIAL REQUIRED
- Keil µVision 4 – IDE

- GCC C Compiler
- STM32 ST Link Utility
- STM32F100RB Discovery Board
- STM32F100xx USB Data Cable
- STM32F100xx Trainer Board
- Oscilloscope and it’s Connecting Leads
- Connecting Cables
6.3 INTRODUCTION & THEORY
The advanced-control timers of STM32F100xx consist of a 16-bit auto-reload counter

driven by a programmable prescaler. It may be used for a variety of purposes, including
measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms
(output compare, PWM, complementary PWM with dead-time insertion). Pulse lengths and
waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds.
The main block of the programmable advanced-control timer is a 16-bit counter with
its related auto-reload register. The counter can count up, down or both up and down. The
counter clock can be divided by a prescaler. The counter, the auto-reload register and the
prescaler register can be written or read by software. This is true even when the counter is
running.
The time-base unit includes:
● Counter register (TIMx_CNT)
● Prescaler register (TIMx_PSC)
● Auto-reload register (TIMx_ARR)
● Repetition counter register (TIMx_RCR)
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by any factor between 1 and
65536. It is based on a 16-bit counter controlled through a 16-bit register (in the TIMx_PSC
register). It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler
ratio is taken into account at the next update event.

6.4 PRE-LAB PREPARATIONS
Students should know about:

- Software architectures
- Timers peripherals of STM32F100xx
- Sandwich delay using timers
- Timer registers and its functionalities
- Timer peripheral from the architecture perspective
6.5 PROCEDURE
- Create new project with the name ‘Lab6’, following the steps in Lab Session 1.
- In the ‘main.c’ file, write the code for implementing delay function using hardware timer,
as skeleton shown below.
...
//Configure and start the timer
void Cyclic_Start(const unsigned short PERIOD)
{
RCC_APB1ENR |= 0x00000001; //Timer 2 clock enables
TIM2_CR1 = 0; //Counter Register-Counter disabled (stopped)
TIM2_CNT = 0; //Counter value reset to 0
TIM2_PSC = 7999; //Pre-scaler value calculated for 1ms delay
if(PERIOD > 1)
{
TIM2_ARR = (PERIOD-1);
}
/* If value in PERIOD is given ‘1’, ARR will be 0. ARR is the value up to
which counter increments */
else
{
TIM2_ARR = 1; //When PERIOD is 1ms
}
TIM2_CR1 = 0x0001; //Timer counter enabled (time starts)
}
//Wait for the set time to pass
void Cyclic_Wait(void)
{
while((TIM2_SR & 0x00000001)==0)
{
} //Wait until counter counts up to ARR value
/* Value of register SR is 0 if counter value is <ARR value and value of
register SR is 1 if the counter value is >ARR value */
TIM2_SR = 0; //When counter counts up to ARR, then reset ‘SR’

}
...
39
//Block of code for using inside main() function

while(1)
{
//Instruction for setting on-board LED HIGH
Cyclic_Wait(); //Call DELAY function
//Instruction for setting on-board LED LOW
Cyclic_Wait(); // Call DELAY function
}
return(1);
...
- Complete the ‘main.c’ such that the LED blinks at 1Hz when the switch is pressed once.
- Successfully create the HEX file.
- Open the debugger session and start the simulation after opening the Timer 2, GPIOA and
GPIOC peripherals.
- Burn the program and test the results on hardware by connecting the hardware with
oscilloscope.
- Turn on the ‘measure’ window on oscilloscope and verify the frequency of LED toggling.
6.6 OBSERVATIONS & RESULTS
Students are required to provide the following components in their lab reports.
- Complete ‘main.c’ code developed
- HEX file created successfully in Keil µVision 4
- Software tested in Debugger
- Software tested on the hardware
6.7 LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this lab, students should be able to:

- Create hardware delays with STM32F100RB timers.
- Design program for the configuration of timers.
6.8 EXERCISE QUESTIONS
- Modify the program to create hardware delays of 100ms and 1s.

- Modify the program such that two on-board LEDs toggles at once after pressing the switch
at 1Hz frequency exactly.
- Modify the program such that two on-board LEDs toggles alternatively after pressing the
switch at 1Hz frequency exactly.
