Function Documentation

LETIMER_CompareGet()

uint32_t LETIMER_CompareGet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
unsigned int comp
)

Get the LETIMER compare register value.

Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] comp A compare register to get, either 0 or 1.
Returns
A compare register value, 0 if invalid register selected.

LETIMER_CounterGet()

uint32_t LETIMER_CounterGet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer )

Get LETIMER counter value.

Parameters
[in] letimer Pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
Returns
Current LETIMER counter value.

LETIMER_CounterSet()

void LETIMER_CounterSet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
uint32_t value
)

Set LETIMER counter value.

Parameters
[in] letimer Pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] value New counter value.

LETIMER_CompareSet()

void LETIMER_CompareSet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
unsigned int comp,
uint32_t value
)

Set the LETIMER compare register value.

Note
The setting of a compare register requires synchronization into the low frequency domain. If the same register is modified before a previous update has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed. This only applies to the Gecko Family. See comments in the LETIMER_Sync() internal function call.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] comp A compare register to set, either 0 or 1.
[in] value An initialization value (<= 0x0000ffff).

LETIMER_Enable()

void LETIMER_Enable ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
bool enable
)

Start/stop LETIMER.

Note
The enabling/disabling of the LETIMER modifies the LETIMER CMD register which requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If this register is modified before a previous update to the same register has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed. This only applies to the Gecko Family. See comments in the LETIMER_Sync() internal function call.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] enable True to enable counting, false to disable.

LETIMER_FreezeEnable()

void LETIMER_FreezeEnable ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
bool enable
)

LETIMER register synchronization freeze control.

Some LETIMER registers require synchronization into the low-frequency (LF) domain. The freeze feature allows for several such registers to be modified before passing them to the LF domain simultaneously (which takes place when the freeze mode is disabled).

Note
When enabling freeze mode, this function will wait for all current ongoing LETIMER synchronization to the LF domain to complete (Normally synchronization will not be in progress.) However, for this reason, when using freeze mode, modifications of registers requiring the LF synchronization should be done within one freeze enable/disable block to avoid unecessary stalling.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] enable
  • True - enable freeze, modified registers are not propagated to the LF domain
  • False - disables freeze, modified registers are propagated to the LF domain

LETIMER_Init()

void LETIMER_Init ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
const LETIMER_Init_TypeDef * init
)

Initialize LETIMER.

Note that the compare/repeat values must be set separately with LETIMER_CompareSet() and LETIMER_RepeatSet() . That should probably be done prior using this function if configuring the LETIMER to start when initialization is complete.

Note
The initialization of the LETIMER modifies the LETIMER CTRL/CMD registers which require synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If any of those registers are modified before a previous update to the same register has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed. This only applies to the Gecko Family. See comments in the LETIMER_Sync() internal function call.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] init A pointer to the LETIMER initialization structure.

LETIMER_RepeatGet()

uint32_t LETIMER_RepeatGet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
unsigned int rep
)

Get the LETIMER repeat register value.

Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] rep Repeat register to get, either 0 or 1.
Returns
Repeat register value, 0 if invalid register selected.

LETIMER_RepeatSet()

void LETIMER_RepeatSet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
unsigned int rep,
uint32_t value
)

Set the LETIMER repeat counter register value.

Note
The setting of a repeat counter register requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If the same register is modified before a previous update has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed. This only applies to the Gecko Family. See comments in the LETIMER_Sync() internal function call.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] rep Repeat counter register to set, either 0 or 1.
[in] value An initialization value (<= 0x0000ffff).

LETIMER_Reset()

void LETIMER_Reset ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer )

Reset LETIMER to the same state that it was in after a hardware reset.

Note
The ROUTE register is NOT reset by this function to allow for a centralized setup of this feature.
Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.

LETIMER_SyncWait()

void LETIMER_SyncWait ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer )

Wait for the LETIMER to complete all synchronization of register changes and commands.

Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.

LETIMER_TopSet()

void LETIMER_TopSet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
uint32_t value
)

Set the LETIMER top value.

Note
The LETIMER is a down-counter, so when the counter reaches 0 then the top value will be loaded into the counter. This function can be used to set the top value.

If the LETIMER is not already configured to use a top value then this function will enable that functionality for the user.

Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] value The top value. This can be a 16 bit value on series-0 and series-1 devices and a 24 bit value on series-2 devices.

LETIMER_TopGet()

uint32_t LETIMER_TopGet ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer )

Get the current LETIMER top value.

Parameters
[in] letimer A pointer to the LETIMER peripheral register block.
Returns
The top value. This will be a 16 bit value on series-0 and series-1 devices and a 24 bit value on series-2 devices.

LETIMER_IntClear()

void LETIMER_IntClear ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
uint32_t flags
)
inline

Clear one or more pending LETIMER interrupts.

Parameters
[in] letimer Pointer to LETIMER peripheral register block.
[in] flags Pending LETIMER interrupt source to clear. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the LETIMER module (LETIMER_IF_nnn).

LETIMER_IntDisable()

void LETIMER_IntDisable ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
uint32_t flags
)
inline

Disable one or more LETIMER interrupts.

LETIMER_IntEnable()

void LETIMER_IntEnable ( LETIMER_TypeDef * letimer,
uint32_t flags
)
inline

Enable one or more LETIMER interrupts.

Note
Depending on the use, a pending interrupt may already be set prior to enabling the interrupt. To ignore a pending interrupt, consider using LETIMER_IntClear() prior to enabling the interrupt.

inline

Get pending LETIMER interrupt flags.

Note
Event bits are not cleared by the use of this function.
Parameters
[in] letimer Pointer to LETIMER peripheral register block.
Returns
LETIMER interrupt sources pending. A bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the LETIMER module (LETIMER_IF_nnn).

LETIMER_IntGetEnabled()

Useful for handling more interrupt sources in the same interrupt handler.

Note
Event bits are not cleared by the use of this function.
Parameters
[in] letimer Pointer to LETIMER peripheral register block.
Returns
Pending and enabled LETIMER interrupt sources. Return value is the bitwise AND combination of
  • the OR combination of enabled interrupt sources in LETIMER_IEN_nnn register (LETIMER_IEN_nnn) and
  • the OR combination of valid interrupt flags of the LETIMER module (LETIMER_IF_nnn).

LETIMER_IntSet()
