9.3.2.2. Down-Counting Mode

In down-counting mode, the counter counts from the auto-reload value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register) down

to 0, then restarts from the auto-reload value and generates a counter underflow event.

A UEV can be generated at each counter underflow, by setting the TIM_UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register, or by

using the slave mode controller. Software can disable the UEV by setting the TIM_UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1

until the TIM_UDIS bit is written to 0. However, the counter restarts from the current auto-reload value, whereas the

prescaler's counter restarts from 0, but the prescale rate doesn't change.

In addition, if the TIM_URS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the TIM_UG bit generates a UEV, but

without setting the INT_TIMUIF flag. Thus no interrupt request is sent. This avoids generating both update and

capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the capture event.

When a UEV occurs, the update flag (the INT_TIMUIF bit in the INT_TIMxFLAG register) is set (unless TIM_URS

is 1) and the following registers are updated:



The prescaler shadow register is reloaded with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_PSC register).



The auto-reload active register is updated with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register). The

auto-reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected one.

Figure 9.7 and Figure 9.8 show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when

TIMx_ARR = 0x36.
