Function Documentation

◆ PCNT_CounterGet()

uint32_t PCNT_CounterGet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

inline

Get the pulse counter value.

Parameters

[in] pcnt Pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

Returns: Current pulse counter value.

◆ PCNT_AuxCounterGet()

uint32_t PCNT_AuxCounterGet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

inline

Get the auxiliary counter value.

Parameters

[in] pcnt Pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

Returns: Current auxiliary counter value.

◆ PCNT_CounterReset()

void PCNT_CounterReset ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Reset PCNT counters and TOP register.

Note: Notice that special SYNCBUSY handling is not applicable for the RSTEN bit of the control register, so we don't need to wait for it when only modifying RSTEN. (It would mean undefined wait time if clocked by an external clock.) The SYNCBUSY bit will however be set, leading to a synchronization in the LF domain, with, in reality, no changes.

Parameters

[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

◆ PCNT_CounterTopSet()

void PCNT_CounterTopSet	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		uint32_t	`count,`
		uint32_t	`top`
	)

Set the counter and top values.

The pulse counter is disabled while changing these values and reenabled (if originally enabled) when values have been set.

Note: This function will stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when an external clock is used for the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`count`	A value to set in the counter register.
[in]	`top`	A value to set in the top register.

◆ PCNT_CounterSet()

void PCNT_CounterSet	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		uint32_t	`count`
	)

inline

Set a counter value.

Pulse counter is disabled while changing counter value and re-enabled (if originally enabled) when counter value has been set.

Note: This function will stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when using an external clock to clock the PCNT module since stall time may be undefined in that case. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	Pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`count`	Value to set in counter register.

◆ PCNT_Enable()

void PCNT_Enable	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		PCNT_Mode_TypeDef	`mode`
	)

Set PCNT operational mode.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration. Setting operational mode is normally only required after initialization is done, and if not done as part of initialization or if requiring to disable/reenable pulse counter.

Note: This function may stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when an external clock is used for the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`mode`	An operational mode to use for PCNT.

◆ PCNT_IsEnabled()

bool PCNT_IsEnabled ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Returns if the PCNT module is enabled or not.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration.

Parameters

[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

Returns: Returns TRUE if the module is enabled.

◆ PCNT_FreezeEnable()

void PCNT_FreezeEnable	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		bool	`enable`
	)

PCNT register synchronization freeze control.

Some PCNT registers require synchronization into the low-frequency (LF) domain. The freeze feature allows for several 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 PCNT 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 unnecessary stalling.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT 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 LF domain.

◆ PCNT_Init()

void PCNT_Init	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		const PCNT_Init_TypeDef *	`init`
	)

Initialize the pulse counter.

This function will configure the pulse counter. The clock selection is configured as follows, depending on operational mode:

pcntModeOvsSingle - Use LFACLK.
pcntModeExtSingle - Use external PCNTn_S0 pin.
pcntModeExtQuad - Use external PCNTn_S0 pin.

Notice that the LFACLK must be enabled in all modes, since some basic setup is done with this clock even if the external pin clock usage mode is chosen. The pulse counter clock for the selected instance must also be enabled prior to initialization.

Notice that pins used by the PCNT module must be properly configured by the user explicitly through setting the ROUTE register for the PCNT to work as intended.

Writing to CNT will not occur in external clock modes (EXTCLKQUAD and EXTCLKSINGLE) because the external clock rate is unknown. The user should handle it manually depending on the application.

TOPB is written for all modes but in external clock mode it will take 3 external clock cycles to sync to TOP.

Note: Initializing requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. This may cause a delay.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`init`	A pointer to the initialization structure.

◆ PCNT_FilterConfiguration()

void PCNT_FilterConfiguration	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		const PCNT_Filter_TypeDef *	`config,`
		bool	`enable`
	)

Set the filter configuration.

This function will configure the PCNT input filter when the PCNT mode is configured to take an LFA-derived clock as an input clock.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`config`	A pointer to the configuration structure to be applied.
[in]	`enable`	Indicates whether to enable or disable filtering.

◆ PCNT_PRSInputEnable()

void PCNT_PRSInputEnable	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		PCNT_PRSInput_TypeDef	`prsInput,`
		bool	`enable`
	)

Enable/disable the selected PRS input of PCNT.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`prsInput`	PRS input (S0 or S1) of the selected PCNT module.
[in]	`enable`	Set to true to enable, false to disable the selected PRS input.

◆ PCNT_TCCConfiguration()

void PCNT_TCCConfiguration	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		const PCNT_TCC_TypeDef *	`config`
	)

Set Triggered Compare and Clear configuration.

This function will configure the PCNT TCC (Triggered Compare and Clear) module. This module can, upon a configurable trigger source, compare the current counter value with the configured TOP value. Upon match, the counter will be reset and the TCC PRS output and TCC interrupt flag will be set.

Since there is a comparison with the TOP value, the counter will not stop counting nor wrap when hitting the TOP value, but it will keep on counting until its maximum value. Then, it will not wrap, but stop counting and set the overflow flag.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`config`	A pointer to the configuration structure to be applied.

◆ PCNT_IntClear()

void PCNT_IntClear	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`

	)

inline

Clear one or more pending PCNT interrupts.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	Pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]	`flags`	Pending PCNT interrupt source to clear. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the PCNT module (PCNT_IF_nnn).

◆ PCNT_IntDisable()

void PCNT_IntDisable	(	PCNT_TypeDef *	`pcnt,`
		uint32_t	`flags`
	)

inline

Disable one or more PCNT interrupts.

Parameters

[in]	`pcnt`	Pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

◆ PCNT_Reset()

void PCNT_Reset ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

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

Notice the LFACLK must be enabled, since some basic reset is done with this clock. The pulse counter clock for the selected instance must also be enabled prior to initialization.
