@par Example Description
This example shows how to synchronize TIM2 and Timers (TIM3 and TIM4) in cascade mode.
Timers synchronisation in cascade mode :
___________ ___________ ___________
| MASTER |TRGO_Update ITR1 | SLAVE 1 | ITR2 | SLAVE 2 |
| TIM2 |-------------------| TIM3 |------------| TIM4 |
|___________| |___________| |___________|
1/ TIM2 is configured as Master Timer:
- PWM Mode is used
- The TIM2 Update event is used as Trigger Output
2)TIM3 is slave for TIM2 and Master for TIM4,
- PWM Mode is used
- The ITR1(TIM2) is used as input trigger
- Gated mode is used, so start and stop of slave counter
are controlled by the Master trigger output signal(TIM2 update event).
- The TIM3 Update event is used as Trigger Output.
3)TIM4 is slave for TIM3,
- PWM Mode is used
- The ITR2(TIM3) is used as input trigger
- Gated mode is used, so start and stop of slave counter are controlled by the
Master trigger output signal(TIM3 update event).
The TIM2 counter clock is 180 MHz.
The Master Timer TIM2 is running at:
TIM2 frequency = TIM2 counter clock / (TIM2_Period + 1) = 351.562 KHz and
a the duty cycle equal to: TIM2_CCR1/(TIM2_ARR + 1) = 25%
The TIM3 is running at:
(TIM2 frequency)/ (TIM3 period +1) = 87.891 KHz and
a duty cycle equal to TIM3_CCR1/(TIM3_ARR + 1) = 25%
The TIM4 is running at:
(TIM3 frequency)/ (TIM4 period +1) = 21.973 KHz and
a duty cycle equal to TIM4_CCR1/(TIM4_ARR + 1) = 25%
The PWM waveform can be displayed using an oscilloscope.

@par Hardware and Software environment
- This example runs on STM32F446xx devices.
- This example has been tested with STM32446E-EVAL board and can be
easily tailored to any other supported device and development board.
- STM32446E-EVAL Set-up
Connect the following pins to an oscilloscope to monitor the different waveforms:
- TIM2 CH1 (PA.00)
- TIM3 CH1 (PC.06)
- TIM4 CH3 (PB.08)
@par How to use it ?
In order to make the program work, you must do the following :
- Open your preferred toolchain
- Rebuild all files: Project->Rebuild all
- Load project image: Project->Download and Debug
- Run program: Debug->Go(F5)
