Timer 2..5

The STM32F429ZI offers several general purpose timers. Timer 2 and 5 are 32 bit timers, while timer 3 and 4 are 16 bit timers. They may be used for measuring time (basic timer), measuring input pulse length (input capturing) or generating waveforms (output compare / PWM). The timers are fully independent and can be synchronized together.

• 16-bit / 32-bit up, down, up/down auto-reload counter.
• Prescaler (16 bit) to adjust counting clock, even during runtime.
• 4 independent channels for:
  • Input capture
  • Output compare
  • PWM generation (edge- and center-aligned)
  • One-pulse output
• Synchronization / control through external signals.
• Interrupt / DMA generation.

These functions are available:

• The basic timer function governs the core timer itself, eg. counting mode, reload-values, etc.
• The clock source controls the clock signal, eg. internal clock source, external trigger, etc.
• The compare function is used for generating PWM signals.
• The capture function is used for capturing input signals.
