HCS12x Enhanced capture timer

hucklim — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 13:02:40 GMT

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Enhanced capture timer. I am using the ECT as interrupt timer. I set the TC1 to fire the interrupt at a specific compare output. The sequence of the instruction is as below:

ECT_TCNT = 0;

asm BSET ECT_TSCR1, #0x80 //timer started

ECT_TC1 = ECT_TCNT + 6400;

asm BSET ECT_TIE, #0x02 //interrupt enable

Presumably the interrupt will fire when the timer counted from 0 to 6400. What I noticed is that the first interrupt was triggered right away, which is not what I expected. Thereafter the interrupt triggered at regular interval, which is what I expected.

If I change the ECT_TCNT's initial value, for example,

ECT_TCNT = 10000; //---------changed this initial value

asm BSET ECT_TSCR1, #0x80 //timer started

ECT_TC1 = ECT_TCNT + 6400;

asm BSET ECT_TIE, #0x02 //interrupt enable

Then everything works fine. The first interrupt was not triggered right away.

Can anybody explain to me why the initial value of ECT_TCNT makes the difference? I think I read about this in the manual somewhere, but I cannot find it anymore.

Yours sincerely,

Huck

TCNT is free running counter, which you can't alter in normal operating modes. In special operating modes write to TCNT resets TCNT to 0. (BDM debugger usually uses special single chip mode).

I think you need to clear TFLG1 flag before unmasking TIE interrupt:

TFLG1 = (1<<1); // clear n=1 channel interrupt flag, mask = 1<< n

TIE |= (1<<1); // unmask interrupt

Since it seems you are new to S12, please note that following would clear ALL TFLG1 flags, not just channel 1 flag:

TFLG1 |= (1<<1);

BSET TFLG1, #1<<1

Hello Edward,

thanks for the useful information. I will make sure I do not make the mistake when using the ECT.

I do clear the interrupt flag immediately in the ISR.

Do you have any information as far as why the interrupt gets trigger right away when the TCNT was set to 0?

Yours sincerely,

Huck

Interrupt is fired when both TIE and TFLG1 are set. So it must be set flag in TFLG1. Though documentation states TFLG1 is all 0 out of reset, I always clear TFLG1 before enabling TIE interrupts. No problems so far.

Hello Edward,

ok, thanks for the tips. I will check my code to see if I am missing something.

Yours sincerely,

Huck

Hi,

or another approach, just do not start timer before you add a first value into the OC register.

For example, see bellow. However, as Edward says and I can confirm it is good approach if you clear interrupt flags before interrupt is enabled to avoid servicing accidental flag.

Hello Ladislav,

thanks for the tips. I will switch my sequence to enable the timer after setting the OC register.

Yours sincerely,

Huck
