sctimer_multi_state_pwm#

Overview#

The SCTImer multi-state project is a demonstration program of the SCTimer state machine. It shows how to set up events to be triggered in a certain state and transitioning between states. This project has two states: State 0 and State 1.

For State 0, PWM0 (24kHz 10% duty cycle) is setup, PWM0 works based on event eventFirstNumberOutput and event (eventFirstNumberOutput + 1). Meanwhile, another event is scheduled to monitor the rising edge on input 1, when rising edge detected on input 1, the SCTimer switches to State 1.

For State 1, PWM1 (24kHz 50% duty cycle) is setup, PWM1 works based on event eventSecondNumberOutput and event (eventSecondNumberOutput + 1). Meanwhile, another event is scheduled to monitor the rising edge on input 1, when rising edge detected on input 1, then SCTimer switches to State 0. To make PWM0 also work in State 1, the PWM0’s events eventFirstNumberOutput and (eventFirstNumberOutput + 1) are also enabled in State 1, using API SCTIMER_ScheduleEvent. As a result, both PWM0 and PWM1 works in State 1.

The SCTimer input 1 is routed to a button GPIO, when press the button, the SCTimer switches between State 0 and State 1. In State 0, there is only PWM0 output, in State 1, there are both PWM0 and PWM1 output.

    a. Open SEGGER J-FLASH Lite, select device LPC54S018.

    b. Click the ‘Erase Chip’ to erase the extrenal flash.(if can not success, press SW4 button and reset the board, and try to erase again)

    c. Select the bin data file, set the ‘.bin/Erase Start’ address to 0x10000000, then click ‘Program Device’ Note: Please use above way to program the binary file built by armgcc tool chain to external flash. For IAR, KEIL, MCUXpresso IDE, you can use the IDE tool to program the external flash.

MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK
Hardware requirements
  • Micro USB cable

  • MIMXRT685-AUD-EVK board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

No special settings are required.

  1. Connect a micro USB cable between the PC host and the CMSIS DAP USB port (J5) on the board

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

The log below shows example output of the SCTimer driver simple PWM demo in the terminal window:

SCTimer example to output edge-aligned PWM signal

When user presses a switch the PWM signal will be seen from Out 1
When user presses the switch again PWM signal on Out 1 will turn off
The PWM signal from Out 0 will remain active all the time

Use Oscilloscope to measure and observe the J30-1(out 0) and J30-2(out 1) output signal.

RD-RW612-BGA
Hardware requirements
  • Micro USB cable

  • RD-RW612-BGA board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

No special settings are required.

  1. Connect a micro USB cable between the PC host and the MCU-Link USB port (J7) on the board

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

When user presses a switch the PWM signal will be seen from Out 8
When user presses the switch again PWM signal on Out 8 will turn off
The PWM signal from Out 0 will remain active all the time

Use Oscilloscope to measure and observe the HD2-4(out 0) and HD11-13(out 8) output signal. HD2-5(SCT In 1) connect to VIO_BRD_1V8 or GND as fake swtich.

MCXW23-EVK
Hardware requirements
  • Mini/micro USB cable

  • MCXW23-EVK Board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

The switch for this examples is SW4 on the board (PIO0_18)

Output signal		Board location
SCT0_OUT4    		J20-5
SCT0_OUT5   		J20-6
Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the EVK board J33.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

The log below shows example output of the SCTimer multi-state demo in the terminal window:

SCTimer example to output edge-aligned PWM signal

When user presses a switch the PWM signal will be seen from Out 5
When user presses the switch again PWM signal on Out 5 will turn off
The PWM signal from Out 4 will remain active all the time

Probe an oscilloscope to the output pins described in board settings, you will see one PWM signal present all the time. While The other PWM signal is triggered by the switch described in the board settings.
